| 28th December 2006 Krysta | - From: Yen, Baht and Another Plane Welcome home! I just finished reading your entire trip - what an awesome experience. The photos add so much to the stories, and your descriptions were great. Thanks for taking the time to share so much of your adventure! See you sometime soon! |
| 23rd December 2006 Brynn | Home sweet home - From: Yen, Baht and Another Plane Thanks for the offer of a ride, but I'm home now and plan to stay in my house as much as possible for at least the next 24 hours. Looking forward to catching up! BTW, we all know you're a softie and really like puppies and babies and little Clouded leopard cubbies, so you're the only one in denial! :) |
| 22nd December 2006 anonymous | - From: Yen, Baht and Another Plane are you home yet? Need a ride from the airport? (I got behind in keeping up with your blog.... Nice cub pics, I'd say they were cute, but someone I know might see that.) - Angela |
| 20th December 2006 Dan | wow - From: Yen, Baht and Another Plane flickr... i demand you put your photos on flickr. what an amazing trip. maybe next time you need an environmental lawyer to go along? |
| 19th December 2006 Mom and Dad Huntington | What an adventure!! - From: Unladylike in Leech Socks - An AMAZING Day of Wildlife! We have been waiting for a message from Chris about you, Wendy. Then this morning I asked your Dad if he had checked the blog and he said "No". We had a lot of reading to do to catch up with you gals. We are so envious at all you are getting to do. Can't wait to hear more and see the pictures. Did you really eat bugs??? Love, Mom and Dad |
| 19th December 2006 Jason | Bug Eating and Fund Raising - From: Flat Tires and Crazy Teachers Hi Brynn - I can't believe that there are no comments on your bug eating adventures. I think you have missed an opportunity to get your readers to pledge contributions to the causes you have identified based upon the number of spicy legged creatures consumed. I know that I, for one, would have bet a fair sum that you would not be willingly eating the creepy-crawly things that you were anxious about encountering before you left for your trip! Take care! |
| 19th December 2006 Judy Pell | The rangers sound great - From: An Ode to Thai Park Rangers Bring home one will you please? I am tired of all the tote--ing and grunt work that I do. Car battery died Saturday..and once prior to that a couple days ago.. and the computer has been a nightmare...3 hours here and three hours there getting on line... Hencefore we are altapete1@msn.com |
| 18th December 2006 Stacy | Wow! - From: The Spirit of the Tuk Tuk Just finally got a chance to sit down and read all of your entries. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us...sounds like the food and traffic might have been the most dangerous aspect so far! I sure hope you bring home some of that nice, yummy rice wine to share with your family! Hee hee! Have a safe return home, Brynn. Aunt Stace |
| 12th December 2006 Judy Pell | Happy people and lovely colors - From: The Spirit of the Tuk Tuk All pictures came in right side up this time..easier to view. Love the one of Brynn with new friends. Will be watching and waitiing. Take care. Much love, Grammie |
| 12th December 2006 Judy Pell | Loved the photos/right side up (; - From: The Spirit of the Tuk Tuk Such colorful people and so happy appearing. Glad to have the warning that you will be ought of reach ... until you return. Till then , you are in my thoughts and prayers. My best to Karen and Wendy. Grammie |
| 12th December 2006 Judy Pell | pictures of yesterday but no comment - From: The Spirit of the Tuk Tuk Great photos...glad as usual to hear from you three...look forward to any and all blogs. Grammie |
| 11th December 2006 Judy Pell | Tuk Tuk - From: The Spirit of the Tuk Tuk I assume that Tuk Tuk is the bigger-than-life fellow with all the scale--or tiles? Bet he has some story to tell. Of course I am intrigued by the little houses. I hope they have a happy background..or future? Perhaps they are meant for use by the turtles? My number one granddaughter looks lovely..as do Wendy and Karen.. |
| 11th December 2006 Jason | Thanks! - From: In Search of Delacour's Langurs in Van Long Thanks for all of the time you are putting into these posts Brynn -- it really is fun to follow along. I think you may have a future in writing adventure pieces for NPR / Nat'l Geograpic -- I can almost hear the sounds in the background as I read your posts. Just in case you are getting bored with the mundane wildlife over there, I saw a couple deer today! :) Hope your travels went smoothly! |
| 10th December 2006 Brynn | Water Puppets - From: In Search of Delacour's Langurs in Van Long Angela, Glad you're enjoying it. We saw the Hanoi Water Puppet Theater last night and I thought of you. If they weren't so darn big and heavy, I'd bring one back for you. They're really cool looking - the puppeteers stand in the water behind a bamboo screen to move them around. Off to Bangkok in a couple of hours! Brynn |
| 10th December 2006 Angela | - From: In Search of Delacour's Langurs in Van Long Dang, I can't believe you're leaving Hanoi already! I was just getting comfortable with the idea of you being there, getting all of us back in the States familiar with the area through your stories. Great details, btw. I'm keeping up with all your posts, and your stories and descriptions are fantastic. |
| 10th December 2006 Laurie | Yummy! - From: Eating Eels in Hanoi oh honey, you write with such energy and verve and fun! I am right there with you in that restaurant, sampling, enjoying, watching the four year old and wondering what the heck her little mind thinks and how fabulously it must blend all these quirky experiences into a sensible world. and they do. and we only wish we could lose ourselves and our grown up ways and just be There, in the moment, like that. I am so thrilled for you. write everything, experience everything, stretch yourself, this is an amazing time for you. much love, cousing Laurie (PS did I mention that I ate Balut in the Philipines, a sort of egg that hasn't been hatched yet but is basically mostly chicken in the shell, just because the locals wanted me to try it, and I wanted to be part of the moment....that maybe be the reason I am slightly addle brained at this time in my life, tee heee.... love you B |
| 10th December 2006 Scott Pell | WOW! - From: In Search of Delacour's Langurs in Van Long Brynn, I am so proud of you and all the good work you are doing for the zoo and for our little animal friends. Amazing journey over their in Viet Nam! I loved the description of the hospitality of the villagers who offered their best for you all. Good thing you're a vegetarian, eh?

| 9th December 2006 Judy Pell | Fascinating picture of the people - From: The Village Environmental Program outside of Tam Dao Time has stood still, for them, has it not? You haven't mentioned the weather? Is it warm there now? Australia was very warm when we were there this time of year..13 years ago. I told you to boil everthing! Much love, Grammie and Grampie..the sleeping giant. |
| 8th December 2006 Judy | a la dictionnaire - From: What the Heck is a PANGOLIN? long tailed scale-covered mammal of the genus Manis of tropical Africa and Asia, having a long snout and a sticky tongue with which it catches and eats ants. Sounds like a relative of an anteater? Grammie and Grampie |
| 7th December 2006 Judy Pell | Most interesting subject - From: Hanoi and Tam Dao Training Center A fascinating peek into the city of Hanoi and it's citizens... You did not mention the weather.. I assume that it is warm..Your contacts are most interesting and I am sure you will learn much from them regarding the animals of their country. Already, I am sympathizing with the bears...and the demand for bile! How terrible. for the poor animals. |

| 4th December 2006 Brent | Congratulations - From: We Made it to Thailand! Good job! Being that many of us are having to travel vicariously through the (3) of you I will say I am impressed w/ your ability to navigate all that is foreign. Can't wait to hear about the encounters w/ the leaches & the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the leach socks! |

| 2nd December 2006 Patrick Blanchard | Best of Luck - From: Warm Weather, Here We Come! Brynn, Wish you the best on this adventure, will love to hear all about it. Hope you are taking every precaution. ‘It is a jungle out there.’ I have heard nothing but positive things from people who have visited Vietnam (that’s recently), however I think they stayed to the paved areas. |
| 1st December 2006 Judy Pell | Most interesting subject - From: What Are Clouded Leopards? Hopefully one day I may see these cats at Point Defieance Zoo. My family made this zoo a focal point of many trips to Tacoma when I was a child. Animals have always been of interest to my family and continue to be. I am eagerly looking forward to the coming TravelBlogs. Many thanks for my inclusion on this list... Judy Pell |
| 1st December 2006 Aunt Stace | - From: Warm Weather, Here We Come! HEY! I've got a great deal for you! I'LL go to Viet Nam and Thailand, and you can sub for me for a couple weeks! Just think of all the wildlife you could encounter in a kindergarten room! Ah, c'mon.....OK....I'll just check the blog. (: Love, Aunt Stace |
| 30th November 2006 Krysta | I second Jason's comment... - From: Warm Weather, Here We Come! "no worries, enjoy every minute and I'm jealous already" You haven't even left yet and already I'm green with envy!!! Thanks for keeping the blog - it'll be fun to watch your progress. Hope you have a great time, despite the leeches.... :-) |
| 30th November 2006 Brynn | The interface - From: Getting Ready to Go - Leech Socks Travel blog is a free online tool, so sorry about the ads on the blog. When it's free, I guess you can't complain too much. I just hope that the ads that end up on here aren't too strange! Thanks for reading. |
| 30th November 2006 Dan | you and me both - From: Getting Ready to Go - Leech Socks Well, the title says it all... who came up with this interface? |
| 30th November 2006 Jason | No Worries - From: Warm Weather, Here We Come! Hi Brynn - I think you are selling yourself short here. There is nothing you will encounter there that even compares with spending a night at Doe Falls or Ranger Creek with a group of junior high campers! Enjoy every minute of it - I'm jealous already!!! |
