  Ahhh! Another Aussie! <!--graemlin::eek:--> Nah jokes. Hey Kerri! <!--graemlin::D--> Yeah I had heard that there were usually more girls than guys on these Contiki trip. Can’t see that as a bad thing really <!--graemlin::p-->
  
  Hey Jaffa, my job is about protecting you from evil possums and stoats and stuff here in NZ. Possums are pests, not pets…although the Australians here may disagree <!--graemlin::p-->

  Sorry Ben..I honestly have no clue what you were saying to Crispy in the last message..haha…not only that we have more girls now…we even have more people from the “islands” of the southern world…well I suppose I can learn more about the Aussie or “the island of the long white cloud”’s culture.

  Hey Jon,
  That bag is pretty similiar to the one I bought, quite practical I think especially for when we are in Egypt.

  Wow that pack is pretty impressive there Jono! I have just a simple back pack. Still unsure how I’m gonna pack it with all my stuff and still leave room for souvenirs!
  
  Kerri, tut tut tut…there’s no such thing as kiwi jokes, only Aussie jokes. How silly! <!--graemlin::p-->
  
  Started my Italian lessons again yesterday. The more our tutor talks of Italy, the more I want to go! Can’t wait!!! <!--graemlin::D-->
