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

If you got time
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

One of the best secrets in asia
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

Hello
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

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

Gotta Love Vietnam
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.

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.

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

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

Bus
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..

Hotel in Saigon
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

Great Place
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

not crying
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.
