Thanks for blog Jess - just love it! TAKE CARE ALL n ENJOY XXXX

Lucy's Mum Looking forward to you all being together again. It's great that you haven't suffocated each other so you have all been able to do your own thing and get out of this experience what you have wanted.

Lindsay/Mum Hello All- you are indifferent countries at the moment so I hope you are all well and having a wonderful time. All fine here. It was Clare's birthday on Thursday and it's fathers' day tomorrow (Sunday). Hope Phi Phi island is as good as last time Grace and Jess- try to stay sober!!! Loved the blog post Jess- the detail is great!! Weather here is wet and miserable at the moment!! We have had some lovely days though!! Looking forward to having you home, though I suspect there will be mixed emotions about that from your points of view!!. Take care and love to you in Vietnam and Thailand! Lindsay/Mum
