| 3rd April 2007 Melissa L. | I heart Laos! - From: Laos: Lazy Days on the River Hey Em - sounds like you are having a great time. Your blog made me sooo jealous, I loved Laos and floating down the river was a definite highlight. Good call on not taking the bus to Hanoi, we flew aswell. Talked to more then one person who said it was the busride from hell (and in Asia that is saying a lot) Make sure you try the Beer Hoi in Hanoi and beware - it is a different world to Laos. Bit of culture shock after the laid back Laos vibe - you will see what I mean when you get there! Keep having a blast and I love the updates - gives me something to dream about in my cold office! XX Mel |

| 1st March 2007 Elaine | Great stories - From: The Beach...but where's Leonardo? Hi Emily. I'm really enjoying reading your stories of your travels. I love your descriptions of your "modes of transportation." Your motorbike story reminded us of a little girl, a long time ago, on the back of Uncle Don's bike. (I just found the photo!) The beaches sound (and look) fabulous. Enjoy, take care and don't forget your sunscreen!Looking forward to the next instalment... Aunt Elaine |
| 1st March 2007 Henry | You lucky girl! - From: The Beach...but where's Leonardo? Oh my god- Phi Phi is just the best place ever.

| 27th February 2007 Aloha Joe | Bottle Beach & Longtail Boats - From: Motorbike Diva!!! SaDahDe & Aloha Emmy We are looking forward to seeing more blogging and some photos soon from Bottle Beach! We hear the Longtail Boats are great as you island hop through paradise! We hear that Yoga on the beach is fun although a bit sandy! And fresh squid for supper sounds pretty good too! We are still swinging in our hammocks sipping fancy rum drinks this time with fresh pineapple to take our minds off the deep freeze! It's getting brighter earlier and staying light longer and the sun shines brightly everyday. The only difference is the view from our hammock. Keep having fun in paradise! Travel Safe, Travel Smart! With Aloha and love from Aloha Joe & the Pineapple Princess Aloha Jane! |

| 17th February 2007 Julia Kopala | Motorcycle - From: Motorbike Diva!!! Maybe when your trade in your car for a motorcycle we can ride together when you get back. But you have to take the safety course first. My daughter Justine is thinking of taking the course. We are a biker family and it's such fun. You are making great memories over there.

| 15th February 2007 Mom | Motorbike Diva & More - From: Motorbike Diva!!! Hi Em, Langkawi sounds like paradise 2 (the beach, the sand, the water, the islands and the icing on the cake--a wonderful place to stay ). Trading in the Civic, eh? You've been away too long if you have forgotten -20 degree Edmonton. Maybe adding to your collection of vehicles makes more sense? Your pics will be worth the wait. Journey safely. Baci, Mom |
| 15th February 2007 Alan | Leaving Malaysia Hello Thailand - From: Motorbike Diva!!! Dear Em Your island hopping sounded like a great time! Can only imagine watching the Eagles soaring.

| 15th February 2007 Aloha Joe | About the OASIS & Penang - From: Motorbike Diva!!! Hey hey Emmy Rose Penang is the stuff of which good stories are made! In these things (of dirt, stench, toilets, giggling, garbage & over-priced taxis) there is sometimes a message and when we try to express it, we forget the words! Remember the good times and how your balance, aim and quads are improving! With much aloha from Aloha Joe & the pineapple princes, Aloha Jane still sipping fancy rum drinks and doing the hula in paradise. |

Looking forward to your next adventure. Aunt Elaine |
| 12th February 2007 Mom | Luxury at home & on the road - From: Paradise in the Jungle Your hike sounds fabulous, fulfilling and fantastic, but not luxurious.

| 8th February 2007 Melissa L. | Malay Beaches - From: The Undiscovered Jewel Hey Em. Sounds like you are having a blast. Glad you got to experience the islands of Malaysia. In my opinion Malaysia has the nicest islands and best snorkling in all of SEA. The fish are amazing! I also think it is only a matter of time before it becomes over run by tourists just like Thailand. I too travelled alone in Malaysia so I can relate on the creepy stares. Nevertheless, I am still super jealous - keep sharing your stories! XX Mel |

| 28th January 2007 Johanna | jealous - From: Singing in the Singapore Rain! Hey Emily, I have to admit I'm quite jealous. Having traveled through south east asia myself, I can really imagine the great experience it'll be for you. I remember how scared you were, when we met in Perth, before you head over to KL.
