Big Phat Props...
... Go to Chris and Conchi who looked after Toby and Sarena on their last night of travels. Thanks guys for the bed and night out in Madrid. Sorry we couldn't stay longer...Chris, where are those photos, you slackass!

New York fairy tale
You couldn't really ask for a better end to an amazing trip around the world... New York at christmas is truly an amazing place, especially with bright sunny sky and 6 inches of snow to really get you in the mood for christmas.

After the leaking little white lie of planning to spend christmas in Costa Rica. Toby and Sarena boarded a plane for the opposite direction and ended up spending the last week of there extended holiday in New York City.

Staying just off Times Square they enjoyed all the christmas festivities that this city is famous for, including Ice Skating at Rockefeller Centre and a trip top the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building. It also seemed a fitting and emotional way to end their trip as September 11th, 2001 was also a the first day of the couples travels.

Think New Year, Think Poor and Needy!
Toby and Sarena have now returned to the U.K, penniless and homeless(ish). But as you can see from the photo of them below, they wouldn't swap their current situation for the last 2 years experiences.

They now have something that nobody can take away from them. Money and a roof is inconsequential in their broadened minds, The knowledge of accomplishment and enlightenment is all they need to survive.

They are however looking for any opportunities of employment so that they can feed their bellies and buy all the material goods that that are constantly flaunted as necessary by all the western corporations that in turn make you feel unhappy if you can't afford to own them!!!

If you think you can help, then please send Toby and Sarena any Colour TVs (Plasma Widescreens only), Motorbikes (Ducati's preferred) or any general high class goods that you may have, so that we can help this poor couple get back on there feet. Thanks in advance.
