| 21st May 2007 Bess Hamshaw | Hello from Bess - From: Lazy Luang Prabang to Chiang Mia Hi Mia, I hope you still having a good holiday, I'm looking forward to you coming back from your holiday. I'm missing you Mia! I've been swimming this morning and I only swim on a Monday. I go to Kinder on 3 days, I've got lots of friends at Kinder. My friends are called Rachel, Laura, Isabelle, Zoe and Lucy. Love Bess X O X O X O |
| 21st May 2007 Bryce Oliver | - From: Photos for Luang Prabang & Chang Mai WOW, I am soooo Jealous. My mum (Glenda) sent me the link to your website and I have finally had a chance to sit down and read parts of it. I struggle to comprehend how you manage to travel for so long.. but then again I have only travelled to North America and Europe.. One day Christine and I will get to Thailand etc.. I guess it may be a while until you venture out again but I'd love to travel with you guys (with Christine of course).. just to see how others travel. Christine is currently in England for 10 days. She found a return flight from Toronto for $350CAD return so she couldn't turn it down... unfortunately I can not leave the country while my work permit application is being processed. Hopefully it will go through within 4-5 months so that I can return home in Feb. 08 for Kate's Wedding. How long do you have left of your journey? I can't imagine what Mia has thought of all this!!! I am definitely jealous... Talk to you soon.. Drop us a line if time allows. bryceandoliver@yahoo.com |
| 19th May 2007 Brad | If you got time - From: Lazy Luang Prabang to Chiang Mia Hey guys, great to read your travels in Laos and that you had a fun time. If you have a few days to spare try Hua Hin. It's about 300km south of Bangkok and is a great sea side place to hang out with lots to do and plenty of good accomodation. Otherwise have a ball wherever you are look forward to the next chapter. Love Brad |
| 16th May 2007 shelley | tsunami - From: Photos for Luang Prabang & Chang Mai good to hear you are all ok from your tsunami experience, you sure it wasnt just gav jumping in the pool(that is what happens after too much beer). Looking forward to your asian meals you will be cooking for us when you get home |
| 15th May 2007 john collin | Halong Bay Vietnam Nature - From: Hanoi & Ha Long Bay wonderful places on earth, thanks You can see also many photos and details information of Halong Bay at http://www.halongbay-vietnam.com Cheers John Collin |
| 10th May 2007 kerrie | - From: Vientiane - the sleepy capital of Laos Hi still really loving your blogs.fantastic food!looking forward to hearing lots more on your return.Take care k |
| 9th May 2007 Brad | One of the best secrets in asia - From: Vientiane - the sleepy capital of Laos Hey guys, glad to hear your in Laos. I think it's one of the best places in Asia and your quite right about the pace, it's pretty relaxed. If you get the chance in Vang Vieng go down the river on inner tubes, its huge fun. Your doing a good job at making us all envious and getting out the passports. Hope you have a great time in Laos and don't forget your seat cushions for the slow boat ride up the Mekong. I chickened out and got a cheapy flight to Chang Mai. Ha Ha. Your photos are great. Tell Gav his bum looks big in those shorts, only joking I still love him. Have fun Brad G |
| 9th May 2007 Rachel | Hello - From: Hanoi & Ha Long Bay Hi Mia, I hope you're having a great time. I like the pictures that you've taken. Is there lots of things to see where you're staying, and is there a swimming pool there? What have you been doing there? I think I want to visit the places you've been too - it looks like fun! And, I hope you're having so much fun. love, RACHEL |
| 9th May 2007 Nat and Brad | - From: Hanoi & Ha Long Bay Hi guys, your time at the resort looks great. Sensible option to miss the night on the boat and Cat Ba Island - very over rated. You will love Vientianne. Try to hire bikes and go for a ride along the waterfront - great fun as you just keep following this muddy road but there are all these "bars" built out over the river and they open for sundowner drinks. You will really enjoy Laos after "the full on ness" of Vietnam. If you can try and go to Vang Vien as you can do this great rubber tubing down the river and there are all these bars along the bank and they pull your rubber tube in so you can have a drink!!! Vang vien is also very beautiful and we had a guest house over looking the river for about $15usd a night which had a fantastic balcony(one per room) that looked out over the mountains - sometimes it was just like a picture. I can't remember the name but it was right near the edge of the town - when you are facing the river keep walking to your right down a small slope and then about 50 metres further on. Don't be put off by all the rubble around. It is quite new and very clean. The only other directions I can give you is that it is next to a wooden "bridge" going over to a small island that is in the middle of the river. By the way when you arrive there are heaps of touts at the bus station. The centre of town is about 500 mtrs walk!! Shelly - in Vientaine make sure you get a massage!! They are fantastic and cheap and also get yours and Mia's hair washed. Great fun. love nat and brad |
| 8th May 2007 Kelly-anne Oudman | COOL - From: Hanoi & Ha Long Bay Hi Guys - Have enjoyed reading your blog and the photo's are amazing. The food sounds especially great and I am looking forward to visiting Vietnam one day, however this won't be until we return home. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. Kelly. |
| 8th May 2007 Scott | Gotta Love Vietnam - From: Hanoi & Ha Long Bay How is the contrast from Saigon to Hanoi, huge wide boulevards down south and old colonial charm up north. Looks like they have tamed the lighting down on the "suprising cave", looks like they have removed half the coloured flouros, good thing to. Did you go and say hello to Uncle Ho? Best air con in Vietnam, where uncle Ho lives. |
| 3rd May 2007 Gilby | 25 cent beer! - From: Nha Trang and Hoi An I am so there for a lager frenzy. |
| 30th April 2007 Leon | Dig In - From: Nha Trang and Hoi An Sounds like you are loving the food. Have a great time in Hanoi. Make sure you spend a couple of hours at the Chop Shops |
| 28th April 2007 Mary-Anne | Hello - From: Thankyou Just wanting to tell you guys that I am enjoying reading all your blogs. It sometime feels I am there with you. I even get relaxed, frustrated and angry with you. Sounds like you guys are having a ball. I just cannot believe you can do all this and find the time to write about it. Anyway, I will organise the kids 5th Birthday for when you guys come back. Keep up the blogs, they are a lot of fun. |
| 27th April 2007 Bess | Date - From: Mekong Meanders Hi Mia, I am missing you. When are you getting back from your holiday? I've been having my swimming lessons and I'm doing one today. I went to Kinder this morning and played with Isabelle. My sister came too because she didn't have to go to school. I'm going to creche one day and Louise, Matlida and Abbey are there too. Vespa is my new dog and he is very good (but Mum says he's naughty)! Love Bess |
| 26th April 2007 Liz | Sounds like fun - From: Mekong Meanders Hi Shell, Loving your updates! Makes me want to jump on a plane. Great to see you're having a good time. The pics are great too. No news here (of interest anyway!) Liz |
| 26th April 2007 Belinda @ AMEX | Hi - From: The search for fish sauce in Phu Quoc Hi Shell, keep the stories coming, we're all loving them! It's bringing back great memories of Vietnam and makes me itchy about going off travelling again. Miss you, B |
| 24th April 2007 Luci-Jane & Declan | Cool Holiday - From: Temples and Tarantulas Hi Gav Shell & Mia are you having a good time? I like your photo's especially the ones when Mia and Shell were statues. Did you eat any spiders? Gross! From Luci-Jane & Declan |
| 18th April 2007 jai and ceri | - From: Temples and Tarantulas hiya guys weve just got back from the temples after an early sunrise start! hope your well and enjoying vietnam, the pics are great! |
| 12th April 2007 Donna Geer | - From: Temples and Tarantulas Dear Richelle, Gav and Mia, It's great to see you are having a fabulous time. I am really loving your blogs. Your photos remind me of my trip the Angkor Watt. It's such an amazing place. Shame you didn't try the spiders. Just like chicken??? No, I haven't been that silly. Look forward to more blogs. Donna |
| 11th April 2007 Leon | Bus - From: Temples and Tarantulas Also "Sing Tours" have the best buses in Vietnam but there are a few companies with the same name so make sure you get the one with offices in all major towns.. |
| 11th April 2007 Leon | Hotel in Saigon - From: Temples and Tarantulas Shell If you get stuck for a hotel in Saigon go straight to the Hotel 211 which is on the main backpacker street. Make sure you get to the war remnants museum and have a look around reunification palace. Saigon is also the best place to try snake wine. If you get time stop in Mui Ne on the coast - it is pretty crusiy and the Mui Ne Resort looked like a good place to stay. Have fun |

| 9th April 2007 Scotty | Revenge of the dead dog - From: The two sides of Phnom Penh May that dead dog haunt your dreams Gav. Shame on you. I've put a PASS alert out for your return for the RSPCA to be notified. |
| 6th April 2007 Brad and Nat | Great Place - From: The two sides of Phnom Penh Hey guys, your travels sound like they're going great and the stories are terrific to read. I think Cambodia was my most favorite Asian country and I think you'll be amazed by the temples of Angkor. I think you should write a note to their local council though there's a couple of pot holes in the road need looking at ha ha. Looking forward to your next letter. Have fun Brad G |
| 4th April 2007 tashia | not crying - From: The two sides of Phnom Penh It sounds like this leg of the trip has been very interesting in many ways. Wow, Shell. I can only imagine how altering that experience at the killing fields was. I think though that you were right to go. It is important to remember such things. I think that the trip to the orphanage was really great of you to do as well. We are so lucky to live in countries like Australia and Canada. |
| 3rd April 2007 Scott | Now that brings back memories - From: The two sides of Phnom Penh Hi Guys, wow the kids havent changed and I am pleased you had a good time, PP is a great city, wild west meets the riviera. FCC is a must for any who vist PP and there is one in Siem Reip, meekong horizons the way to go Great to hear from you ciao one very jealous Scott |

| 19th March 2007 Grandma and Poppa | Your travelblogs - From: Elphants & rafting in Kanchanaburi Hi Darl These are sooooooooooo good to read and seeing the photos make it not sooooooo bad that you are away. Glad to hear you are having fun and hope those headaches stay away. Love Us |

| 17th March 2007 nat and brad | tigers - From: Elphants & rafting in Kanchanaburi Hi guys, really enjoying the blogs. Feels like we were back there with you. Shel hope your headache is better. Have you tried the 2 hour proper thai massage which is more like a chiro session. Worked for me. Just don't end up at a brothel lol. At the very least try and get a foot massage that helps to. Any excuse for a massage. It is a shame that you didn't get to see the tigers which are just above kanchanaburi they are fantastic. If you get a chance to go back you need to go there. They are controlled by the monks and you can watch them have a bath and then pat them and have a photo taken and all the time they are just being controlled by a leash. It is amazing experience. You sound like you guys are having a fantastic time and we are very jealous. lots of love nat, brad and Caitlin. Ps: Gav, Brad says to say "He loves you to!" |
| 17th March 2007 tashia | elphants - From: Elphants & rafting in Kanchanaburi that elephant ride looked pretty great! too bad it was so short. Who wouldn't love the raft ride! It reminded me of Tom Sawyer Thai style. |
