Hello from Thailand! We've been in Thailand for about two weeks now and I have been sweating the entire time. Not that that is remarkable or that I expect it to stop, but for a guy who prefers the mercury below 25 degrees, a humidex consistantly over 45 degrees is an experience in and of itself. It's been a month since our last blog so lets leave the heat behind for now and return to cool NZ and ... Read Full Entry

Brett you missed your calling!
Although I guess it's not too late! You have a way with words brother. I have gone from genuine tears of pride and pain to laughter all in one Blog entry. I could practically feel my little sis biting the concrete on that fall but I am so glad you are there to support each other. Enjoy the change of pace and scenery in Thailand and bring some self defence moves back and we'll set up a back yard brawl between you and Andre! P.S. Sorry, haven't seen the bike! I'll keep a look out.

2nd leg of the journey
Great to hear from you. Sent you an email but not sure if it went through correctly so thought I'd let you know, really enjoyed the first blog from Thailand. Sorry about that bike was hoping it might have been found by now. Send me an address and I'll send you a contribution if it doesn't show up (can't let the Buddists outdo the Christians!). You don't seem to be having any trouble meeting new people: you and the New Zealanders in the pub, you and the Thailanders in the pub. Seriously it looks like a lot of fun and wish I could meet some of those people myself! Your Tai hosts at the guesthouse sound so nice. That was really good to hear and that he was able to help with the bike thing. Tell them your mother thanks them and if they ever come to Canada I would be glad to have them as a guest here. Love Mom

Surprize!
Hi guys! I finally decided to look up your travelblog! We have had a great summer in Saskatchewan - lots of sun and amazing evenings! I enjoyed all the pictures. I will have to show them to Rod! It has been 20 years since he has been in NZ but he will remember some of the spots you have been for sure. What an adventure! Take care.
