Message: Hi folks, just had another look at your site after months-some fab pics in there.Finally have the chance to unwind after 7 weeks of visitors, although it was brill to see everyone. Really have to give the liver a chance to getback to normal, whatever that is!Fibfest was soooo chilled but too hot (as D will testify to-poor soul really was suffering).Would certainly go back but not too sure about the 3 days-it took about a week to recover. Have found out that there are some other music festivals nearby (in Catalunya)so I'm gonna suss them out for next year.
Jen was really thrilled with her pressies. Big hugs n kisses from her. Big hugs n kisses from us all. Enjoy your last few weeks. Lookin forward to a long blether, loadsa luv, Susan xxxx

Funny how the Indian experience is always the same (Delhi = ewww, Goa = ahhh). Good to see you enjoyed the rest of my little Sydney and am looking forward to a Japan update with pics. Stay safe!

Message: Greetings you two! Sorry I haven't been in touch as yet - I was going to put that down to being really busy at work - but then again I am not going to try and kid anybody on here! I heard that Andy - yip still here mate, they haven't found me out yet, and it's been over 4 and a half years - and still picking up a wage!

Anyway - it's good to see you doing well and your pictures look fantastic - so jealous... A week in Tenerife in April there just doesn't have a look in. By the way - how cool is that camper van? Alright it obviously isn't technically the best(come to think of it that reminds me of a dodgy defence I know!!!) - but it certainly looks the business!

Got to shoot now - trying to think of some new excuses for missing another set of deadlines... no easy...

Speak to you soon...

Message: Hi folks
It's the first step that appears to be the problem with phoning the UK. Not as easy as walking down to the nearest phone box in the middle of the jungle.......... Will phone soon though as we are in Kuala Lumpur in a few days.
Good to hear from Debs and a few messages in a row too! Glad to hear that Danny is on the mend and hopefully the bill from your baby sitters wont be too steep?? As step in pappa's it should be free as done out of love.. Must be nice to be able to buy a caravan also. Wish I could afford one too!
How is college going Debs? I'm sure you will be coping well although they need to teach you how to work out hotmail on the PC, easiest thing out to make up a hotmail address.. Maybe they need to add that into the fitness course? tee hee! I mean even Donna can set one up, tee hee again. Might be a while before Marc figures it out though?? Tee hee again again... Hows the party plans going? Where is it in Irvine? WHY is it in Irvine? Is your nana and papa going? Is StEWart going?
Hope you are all well, did you get the presents from Thailand?
Lots of love
Dad & Gillian xxxxx

Title: Thailand No More!!!
Posted By: Andy &
Posted: 21/04/2005 11:09:53
Message: Hello to Everyone again. Cant really believe it but we've finsished our tour of Thailand - Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Bangkok (again), Hua Hin, Koh Phangang, Koh Samui, Krabi, Rai Lay Beach and now into Malaysia at Penang (at the moment). Lots of things done, lots of miles (7000 approx), lots of drink and good fun along the way. Not too sure about he Thai people though as if they didnt get your money then they didn't want to know and can be quite incredibly rude into the bargain but the people in the last few places were definately much better, as they were in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai! 1st day in Krabi was during the new year in Thailand where there is a mass waterfight over the whole country. We basically drove around the town in the back of a pick up truck along with the Thai hotel owners and their children and threw water over absolutely anyone we saw with buckets and water pistols from the biggest water drum I've vever seen in the back of the truck with us. Refilled it about 5 times and had the best laugh we've had in ages.... Definately need to start this in Scotland (with warm water though and raincoats etc...) Found the best place so far in Thailand in terms of the beach on the last 3 days and then had to move on because of the visa restrictions along with the filghts.
Great to hear from everyone we heard from on the message board, especially Shirley, (good job that was a private message), we will get back to you soon. Rosie too and good luck with the Niki situation - hope it does keep you busy. No need to thank us for the pressies Marie, it'll likely be a while before the next ones though...
Malaysia promises to be a different type of adventure from Thailand as we will not be near a beach for most/all of the time. Plenty to see and do here also though. In Penang at the moment which is very old looking but very interesting also, then going to Cameron Highlands after this and south to Kuala Lumpur before deciding on our next move - plans being very much subject to change?!?!?!? Terrible journey here on a minibus - the first one ever made quite possibly? Andy got a sore back now and will need a wee Chinese man to give him a potion to cure it so we set up in Chinatown, actually known as GeorgeTown.
So off we go at the moment to take more photos etc and get up to some nonsense hopefully also.
Lots of love to everyone
Andy & Gillian xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Message: Just seen the photo's and think they are great. Gillian I have never seen you so relaxed or happy. Keep it up. Watch out for that very humid heat though, that's what can make you feel ill. I'm just thinking of scouring about to see what's available for this year's biggy. My magazine came in this morning and I see there's a new place in the Phillipines that looks nice and with all mod. cons. but again it's a long way to travel. Maybe with a few decent breaks it would be good.I applied to join your mailing list but haven't had a reply yet.Sandra said you sent me an Email in January. Ithink I might have deleted it as that's what I do if I do not recognise the sender.

Title: Only 1 message???
Posted By: Gill & Andy
Posted: 23/02/2005 08:43:19
Message: Ah well I know it couldn't last. Pity to hear about Marc although I'm sure it will suit him lying on the couch for a bit as he spends most of his time doing that anyway.
We are off north to Chaing Mai tomorrow and have booked onto a jungle safari where we go white water rafting , stay with a hilltribe and get a lift back from some passing elephants. Only down side is that we have been warned it will be really cold, only about 20 degrees at this time of year, never mind we will see if we can cope. Got to Bangkok safe and sound and met some Scottish on the first night so we had to carry out our duty and get out on the town for the first night but maybe the last time due to old age and hot, hot weather to cure the hangover - not the best.
Best part of the trip so far was that we thought we had a 36 hour train trip to Delhi from Aurangabad and it only turned out to be 24 hours so that was just a breeze - er well maybe???
Went to a floating market today (like the one you see on the TV advert) and it was grand. Held a fully grown python over my neck and persuaded Gillian to hold it too, couldn't believe how heavy it was... Heading north before we go south to really hot weather. Maybe about 40 degrees at this time of year so factor 150 will be the order of the day I think.
Good luck to Marie with her exams and well done on passing her first ones too.. Wlso good luck to Donna with her final exam - I'm sure she will do brilliantly well as usual - obviously because she gets her brains from me (which might explain why mine is missing???)
Take care all and keep in touch
