woow well,that's looked like something different....it looks like an amazing place....i will definitely visit in the future.....such a nice atmosphere,thanks for sharing...
sifnos We first went to Sifnos 15 years ago and as you said the road to the north of the island was just a track and Cherronissus was cut of from the rest of the isalnd and only the boat could take you there. We have returned many times as we have made close friends with a family who we first rented from and we are still the only English they have had to stay. We have watched the daughters grow up (the wedding is soon) and helped paint the house when the father was taken ill. As you say its like home form home, we are returning in August I cant wait to hear yassou called to us as we stroll round the narrow street, the warm bread from the bakery just under the windmill in your pictures baked ny angelo and his wife. Adonis and his family in the supermaket and like you a vist to the taverna in chersonissus for the freshest fish around and lovely company.
Love the blonde locks! Sara and Bryan, Could your hair be any blonder Sara? I love it! You look so tan and beautiful, so does Bryan. I'm so proud of you getting past the fear of diving. I honestly don't think I could do it as I too am claustrophobic and have a great fear of drowning. SOunds like a wonderful new hobby. Can't wait to hear all about Cambodia! Best wishes with all of your adventures. Miss you!
:] lalala Did i tell you im buddist now? lol. its nice to see fellow orange rob wearers in your pictures. :]
Its also nice to see brian wearing something other than his gross white tank top. :] kudos on the billabong brian. you make me proud.
Thinking of you on your birthday! I was wondering where in the world (literally) you would be for the big 4-0. Sounds like it was a perfect way to bring in the next decade of your life (great job Bryan). I continue to enjoy reading your adventures. Keep them coming. Best wishes.
Diving in this part of the world I am so glad that you enjoyed your diving experience. There are several dive shops in Tucson and San Carlos, Mexico is only a 6 hour drive, where you will find incredible diving. As always, I love waking up to grab a cup of coffee and read your latest entry. I can't believe that you have been on the road for 9 months................
Read the part about Birds in Thailand I enjoy reading your blog so much. You have such a great writing style besides all the exciting things you are doing. I still want to keep you healthy...here is an updated alert for that part of the world.....
Avian Influenza (bird flu)
Created: July 22, 2005 01:05 GMT
Updated: March 30, 2007 18:46 GMT
Myanmar reported its first H5N1 flu outbreak in 10 months in late February. A farm on the outskirts of Myanmar's biggest city, Yangon, was affected. Sixty-eight chickens, ducks and pullets died and the facility culled its remaining 1,292 birds. Five other farms near Yangon reported outbreaks within weeks, including a large commercial facility. Myanmar hasn't had an outbreak since April 2006, and the nation declared itself free of the virus by filing its final OIE report in August.
Laos reported its first-ever human infection in February 2007, just weeks after the virus re-appeared in the country. The nation had been free of outbreaks since July 2006, but detected it on two duck farms in the capital, Vientiane, on February 13. Both farms are in the Sisattanak district. On February 27, WHO confirmed that a 15-year-old girl from Vientiane was infected. She died of the disease, as did a 42-year-old woman from the Pong Hong district in Vientiane province.
Indonesia continues to experience sporadic human infections. Their case count - 91 sick, 71 dead - does not match the official WHO tally. They differ because Indonesia stopped sharing virus samples with the international community for several months, citing issues of inequity and intellectual property rights. They resumed the accepted best practice of sending samples for confirmation in late March. People have been infected in 10 provinces.
Avian flu H5N1 has returned to Thailand. The disease reappeared among ducks in January 2007, when about 100 ducks on a farm in Muang district, in the northern province of Phitsanulok, died. A second outbreak was reported among chickens in the northeastern province of Nong Khai in late January. This province is not adjacent to Phitsanulok, where the disease re-emerged in Thailand several weeks earlier. A third outbreak occurred in the central province of Angthong, and a fourth was reported in of Mukdahan province.
Outbreaks of avian flu H5N1 continue to spread in domestic poultry in Vietnam. In mid-December, two provinces (Bac Lieu and Ca Mau) experienced the first serious outbreaks since late 2005. By mid-January, six additional provinces in the Mekong Delta reported outbreaks of H5N1 among birds: Hau Giang, Kien Giang, Vinh Long, Tra Vinh, Soc Trang and Can Tho City. Officials in the nation feared that the entire Mekong Delta could suffer outbreaks among birds within the month, and that the disease may spread to northern Vietnam by the end of February.
But outbreaks in the Mekong Delta actually slowed to a stop in mid-January, and the area appeared flu-free until ducks were reported ill in Vinh Long and Can Tho City provinces in March.
Northern Vietnam reported its first outbreak since 2004 in late February, on a farm in Hai Duong province. Ha Tay then reported cases, and the diease spread to the capital, Hanoi. A total of 56 outbreaks have occurred so far in 2007.

Incredible Blogs Amazing . . . simply put, but I don't know what more to say! It looks like you are having the times of your lives together. Cherish all the moments that take your breath away! It was great to see you at
X-Mas, and we'll be anxiously waiting for your return! Love you . . .
Breaking through your writer's block Sara, I am so glad that you have broken through your writer's block. It has been great catching up with your travels. I can't wait to hear about your scuba experiences. I have been diving in Mexico and loved it. It is such a beautiful, peaceful experience.By the way, you are looking FABULOUS.........
The splendor of South Africa What beauty there is in South Africa! You captured it so well. You must have a million pictures of your travels so far. The coffee shack looked so quaint and romantic. The view from your hotel in Durban was breathtaking! I can't wait for the Indonesia blog. You two are the most inspiring free spirits! Love, Sherry
A new one to add to the list... Sara, I am officially adding South Africa to my ever increasing list of places to visit. I loved reading all about it, and your photos are gorgeous. Tears welled up once again as I read about the whales. What a truly amazing sight behold! I hope you enjoy your stay in Tucson. I will feel too lucky if you stop by Wilson again. Thank you for sharing your heartwarming journal entries. Can't wait to read more. Best wishes and happy anniversary to you and your man!
Amazing Sam and Phyllis sent your blog to me---you two have SO much courage to travel like this! I love your description of the outhouse---I was mentally putting myself in that spot as I was reading it! I was also telling myself " I'll never go to Kenya, so I'm glad your writing this!" Keep writing!
Coffee and you guys Hi Bryan and Sara!
I fixed another cup of coffee before I started this last journal. What a pleasure to sip coffee and read of your travels! We love every line of your experiences. And now you are flying to Tucson. When? I wonder if you have been here already and we don't know it? Please contact us if you are still in the states. We'll shower you with flowers, hugs and well wishes.
Love,
Sam and Phyllis
You're looking healthy Hi Sara and Bryan,
I must say that you two are looking pretty healthy considering the wear and tear you have been experiencing. I couldn't open your Buses and Bouncing blog unless I went back and opened your EGYPT blog. Then, by clicking the next and so on, I got to Africa. However, the next time I tried the Buses blog, it came up immediately.
We are SO enjoying your Journal. It is worthy of future publication, I'm sure. I've saved Virginia's RYA RAG blog for you so that when you return you can follow her sailing adventures. She has enjoyed your's also.
PJ and I flew, (with her sister and brother), to Ocala, Florida and back in THREE days for her father's burial. Left Sunday morning and returned Tuesday afternoon. Naturally, our luggages was left in Las Vegas. I'm embarrased to tell you that. It is NOTHING like a day in your life. Ah, but you are young and in love! That makes all the difference in the world.
Keep the blogs coming. You have some "catching up" to do, I think. Where are you, now? What is your ETA for the states?
Love to you both,
Sam
Timbuktu? Well, I promised you I would write a comment, so here it is. I can't believe that I actually know someone who is travelling around the world. That is absolutely crazy. But I have to know if you made to Timbuktu. I've always wondered what that city would be like. Keep the blogs coming, I'm riveted!
Do they get any braver? The two of you are so brave! I would've FREAKED out if I had to share a sleeper car with a stranger and without David. I have a funny and pathetic story to share with you about a sleeper car, myself and David, a gay couple and a long ride from France to Spain. One of my greatest fears is drowning...I really would've lost it on the rafting excursion! Sounds like a lot of fun and super scary at the same time. Can't wait to hear about South Africa! Best wishes!
Can ya say WOW? It was so great to receive you newest blog! I loved the way you told the "What really happened" version of the safari. You have such a flair for words and an eye for pictures! Kenya was probably not as romantic as Greece, but it sure sounded exciting. I would have freaked out at a bat in a dark out house too! Kenya sounds like it is for the "brave of heart" and that is the two of you. Enjoy and be safe! Love you!
