Unique qualifications what a blessing to find yourself uniquely qualified in two areas one wouldn't ordinarily combine -- CPR and event management -- and able to use them both so effectively to help Leslie. Thank you for accepting the call to help and to comfort ...
To our angels You are Leslie's angels and were sent on that mountain so you would help her in these most difficult and tragic times. You did the right thing and we love you for it. We are so very proud of both of you! Be safe and God bless you! love, love, love.... mom and dad
What an amazing story! What am amazing story! You two must be blessed for the rest of your lives after that. I can't think of many people who would have stepped in in a similar situation and you "stepped in" so many times - from the first indication that CPR was needed up to the time you spent with Leslie. As someone who has lost two people close to them, both unexpectedly, I can just say that what you two did was such a blessing to Leslie and her family. I can't even imagine what situation she would have been facing if you two weren't there to shepherd her. Thank you for the story and for your actions.
Life affirming I am SO PROUD of both of you for the way you met the challenge of life and death in Cambodia. I can't imagine a better scenario for Leslie, or a greater character building opportunity for each of you. You shared your talents and your hearts...God bless you.

Tan and Thin Dang Nico, you guys are looking good. I need to start eating more Asian food and travelling. Who knew that was the key to good skin and a good figure....
I can't tell you how much I look fwd to my Hannah/Nico fix...your lives will always be rich because you embrace it all w/ such gusto. Old people should pay to keep you traveling so we can have our vicarious thrills! (too bad I'm not old...:) )
Watch out for monks! Watch out for monks, they have been known to bite when aggitated. Oh . . . wait a minute, you mean Buddist monks, not monk-ees, OK . . . well, nevermind. Just trying to be helpful . . . ; )
Dive the Trench Great pics guys! The kids are so cute and I'm sure loved every minute of you teaching them. Hannah, the next time I'm descending too far in the Sunda Trench in Indonesia, I'm gonna get on my cell phone and have you come rescue me. Keep having fun!!
so cool! Ko Tao seems amazing! I love seeing all the photos of you with the kids. It sounds like such a great volunteer opportunity and I can't to hear all about the divemaster internship too. Miss you guys!
Inspiration You 2 are an inspiration. If only all of us were more able to give. Although I have to say leave it out with the Mexican food man - it says "do it like the locals", not "do it like the locals in mexico". Anyway particularly stressful at work at the moment, so its good to get a refreshing reality check, and a grounding of what is important in life. I look forward to the book tour when (or if) you return. Continue to have fun, and share with us. Take care.
Happy Hannah Hannah! Great to read a blog post from you. We think of you often and wish you and Nico the best. Glad to hear of the blossoming too! Maybe we can do a staff retreat in Bali???! You can negotiate the spa for us. Stay healthy and happy. Prayers always.
Umm hello you can't just disappear...what if we are worried about you. And living vicariously through your travels? :) Looks like you are having a blast!!
Have been following your travels through your blog - Ohhh the massage in Ubud !!!! Am now dreaming of a holiday in that corner of paradise. Love to both of you. Miss you! Ella and Alain
Crazy Hannah Hi Hannah! You not so crazy, you special. Ah! Your Balinese spa treatment sounds heavenly. I enjoyed reading about Bali through your eyes. Keep up the good work. <3, Jane
Wow..that surf rash looks crazy. How does one get it? (this question is for those who don't know how to swim or surf) :p I am so jealous of all the yummy food you both are eating. It's great that you both have such a gregarious appetite and are willing to eat such exotic food. I love it!
I am no longer monitoring this travel blog on a regular basis. If you would like to send myself or Hannah a note, please send it to one of our personal email addresses or by using the messaging service from this site. Since I am required to review all comments before they are posted, if you post a comment on this blog, there will likely be a very long delay before that comment is published. For this reason, I encourage you to send a note directly rather than post any more comments. -Nico (December 03, 2009)
