OK so I just thought I'd explain everything below. I've been typing posts, but haven't been able to get an internet connection for some time. Therefore, I am posting all of the recent posts at once and 'backdating' them so they are in to correct order. I'm not 100% sure if the dates are correct, but the order of each post is for sure. Anyways, time is running out on my internet access and I still have more to do. Look for more posts now that I'm not caught up in the crowds from World Youth Day.
Ciao!
Andrew
PS thanks for all the comments and stories. They help me to feel at home again.

Cara Andrew:
Thankyou so much for all your recent postings which will be read over and over. So much to consume - I laughed, I cried, I felt your sadness when you left and everyone was there. Reminded me of the time I left Holland and all our billets ran alongside the bus waving goodbye and we were all crying - thanks again for that 'blast from the past.' Your description of everything is so wonderful and makes me feel I'm there with you and seeing what you are seeing.
Can't wait to see you and hear more - we miss you - Bobbi looks for you --- Love, Zia xoxoxo
Hola Andrew!
What an adventure! It all sounds so amazing! I hope you guys put together a slide show on the plane back so that we can all see what you've all been seeing and all that jazz.
I saw a bit of a live report on the Vigil Saturday - seemed pretty normal - lots of people, lots of flags, lots of different languages it was being spoken in. Or at least the part I saw. Did they have different mass parts from the last WYD? If you don't know, Pete might remember what they were. Did you guys get to go to any of the 'sessions' or anything during the day that weren't your assigned catechetics? Oooh, did you guys jam with any foreigners? Or switch shirts with any?
It's good to hear from you guys again! I'm so glad things have been going well!
Peace,
Jane
Enjoying all your posts. What an incredible experince. I liked your reason for youth day, very well put Andrew. You are soo great! We love you very much and are so happy you are able to be there. All these wonderful people you have met. All of this will build such incredible character and confidence.
We had every one over for dinner tonite. Saveria and Marcio are back from the Bowron trip and had picture. They had a wonderful time. We want to go next year.
So you are off to Spain now!! The crowds will seem small after what you ve seen.
Ciao/ Love you

It was sooo great to hear your voice yesterday and to read all of your stories today. I didn't know you were such a descriptive writer.
Still working away at Ria's wedding plans. Helped Aunty Marina paint her apt and it looks FAB.
Now that you are in Spain you will get to eat some real spicy food. Have some for me. Enjoy the HOT sun also.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures. Have you been buying anything? How's the money holding up?
Anthony has been gone off doing his thing, so between that and you being away I am getting a taste of the "empty nest syndrome" and I can tell you I am NOT liking it. Anyway, enough whining!
Time for bed as I am 'proprio stanca' very tired.I will try to call your cell in the morning. Dad and Tony say Hi!
Ciao Bello
Cara Nephew,
Wonderful posts. I too laughed, cried and again was transported there with you. This internet invention is the most amazing thing that we can read what you are experiencing almost on the day you experienced it. You're a great writer Andrew,and good typist too. I Didn't know you typed so well.
Can't wait to see you and see all your pic's and videos all together in one presentation. You will for sure remember this trip for always.
So proud of your 'character' Andrew. Life is all about one's character and all the other stuff is just a hill of beans. You are a terrific young man and I believe are destined for many great things to come in your life.
Looking fwd also to next Sept when we can ALL go to Italy together. You'll be a pro at the travel thing by then...can give us lots of pointers on what you have learned.
Starting my 4th week of retirement this week and quite liking it so far, but have been very busy with painting/re-decorating our apt --as your mum said, it's looks FAB. Maybe when I'm not so busy will be bored and looking for work but for now enjoying it.
Getting ready for the in-laws to arrive in Sept. Then off to VAN for wedding dress shopping with Sarah. I'm excited for that.
Golfed yesterday with Uncle Barrie and get this...got hit on my back with a line drive golf ball. Yikes that smarts!! I cried big time!!
Spain Eh !!! Awesome ...look fwd to more posts from there. Hope you have lots of R&R time when you get there. Enjoyin', relaxin' and chillin' out as they say.
Molto Amore... Zia Marina
