HI G & J,
How is Africa treating you?
Can't wait to hear about your first adventures.
Had a great time at Pen & Andy's wedding and at Ro's the following day.
Don't forget to claen your teeth!

Hey you crazy kids.. Flissy here! Was hanging out to hear how the start of the trip was but the blogging couple are falling behind the 8ball!

Mum told me that you saw the big 5 minus the Rhino - aren't they amazing animals!

Sounds like you're having fun and well and happy. Hope so, it'll be the best experience of your life.

Keep cool G & J
(P.S - Hey larny!!!!! Ha.)

Hi Jem and Gret,
Pleased to hear that you are having a fantastic time already! It must be fantastic seeing all the wild animals. I hope you are taking heaps of photos! Mum and Dad check their e-mail and the blog all day for a bit more news. Post a blog some time soon.

Keep smiling!
Lots of Love,
Kirsty

Glad to hear you made it to Dubai in one piece, and nice hear Jem was a gentleman and gave you his seat to save you from the angry man behind you!

Watch out for the foosa!

Hi Si, seeing as they are not writing we might as well communicate here. Jem and Gret SEEM to be having a good time- so much so that they have no time to write! By the way they have no phones over there, decided to not get a SIM card. They have seen 4 out of 5 of the major animals so far and have been cuddling little Massai babies!
Jem if you ever open this blog, dad has very bad neck - good excuse to sit and watch cricket. Guess who will be doing the feeding out! He also tried to have a bit of fun with Kirsty by driving across one of the empty dams and guess what happened 0 BOGGED UP TO THE GUNNELS- the laugh was on him!
Lots of love from Mum xoxoxoxo

Hi Jem & Greta

As a blog virgin I hope you receive this message. Great to hear all's well in Zanzibar. Africa is going to be a great experience for you both! At home we are all packed to head off to QLD on Saturday. I know you've been reminded by your father to clean your teeth, I say what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Bogged again, how I miss the excitement provided by the next door neighbours! Emma sends her love and we eagerly await more news. There is a tear in my eye just thinking about what it was like to be 21 on such an adventure. Savour the moment. I'm thrilled for you both. Merry Christmas.
Lots of love, Cam, Em, Angus and Sam.
