Contact info for Crazy Kim's So sorry that I didn't respond to your message Amanda. It is already end of October and I've been back home in Canada since May. I just happened to check the blog and caught your message. You can contact Kim Le who runs Crazy Kim's at crazykim99@hotmail.com or if you are in Nha Trang, her bar is just a couple of blocks off the main part of the beach. I'm sure if you are at the Sailing Club bar (one of the main bars in Nha Trang) you could ask for directions to her place.
Crazy Kim's Hi :)
Just wondering if you have a contact email or phone number for Crazy Kim's/ I work on a cruise ship and plan on bringing a bunch of gals to their spa and want to give them a heads up since there will be several of us :) If you have any contact info that would be great :)
Thanks
Amanda
History in the air You are right Robin. We are seeing incredible history here. We have been amazed at all the antiques that are for sale here to foreigners. Our guides have told us that there are so many antiques in China that anything younger than 200 years is really not that valuable to the country. We will definately have to buy an extra suitcase before we leave! See you soon.
Great to hear from you John and Lois It is so nice to have my partner join me and share in this adventure. It is wonderful to travel but it even more wonderful to be able to chat and laugh about all our misadventures and exploits. Look forward to sharing with all of you when we return.
Thanks Erika Great to hear from you Erika and thanks to all of you who have e-mailed or commented on my blog. It's been fun to do and it is so much more fun to see new things with friends. Larry has already told me that he will limit my time on the computer once we are together in Beijing, so I may have to sneak away to keep you all informed of our journey. I'll do my best!!
Flo.
All I can say is Wow!!!.I am so glad for the journey you've taken us through and the great time yu have expierenced. I know Larry is looking forward to seeing you and you will have a great time in China.
Looking forward to more adventures.
Erika
Thanks to all of you who are writing Thanks for your comment Robin. I'm so glad that you are enjoying the blog. It is a good way for me to reflect on what I'm experiencing and share it with my friends and family. Just wanted to thank all of you who have sent me e-mails or comments - the connection to home is so wonderful. I'm off on a couple of tours in the next week - one to Halong Bay and another to SaPa. I hope to post a couple of more blogs before meeting up with Larry in Beijing next week Wednesday. He has already said that I cannot spend much time on the computer - you know Larry!! Talk to you all again soon.
Just Wonderful I can't say enough about how much I enjoy reading your blog. So interesting and so inspirational. What a wonderful experience you are having and isn't it a wonderful world we live in.
I am so glad you are enjoying the blog It has been really nice hearing from some of Gloria's family and friends. I know she is thinking of you all. It has been great having such a nice house companion. The computers at the school are very slow, so I haven't been as good at posting as I should. Each picture takes about 20 min. to download. When I find a faster computer, I'll publish again.!
Good Job Flo I am a friend of Gloria's so I am happy that you can give her family and friends such a nice summary on your adventures. It looks so wonderful and I know you will love Hoi An. Send us more pictures!!!
beautiful flowers I believe that the pink flowers at the bottom of your post are Hybiscis. I am not an expert but I do see them quite often in Arizona.
Gloria Flo ... My name is Debbie ... and Gloria is my mom. She gave me the link for your blog. I love reading the details of your trip and seeing the pictures. My mother is somewhat "computer impaired" so I appreciate your sharing everything (don't tell her I said that). Looks like you guys are having a great time. Can't wait to read more. Thanks!!
Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday....... Hi Flo,
I realize that it's the day after your birthday in Vietnam, but it's your birthday today in Beaumont! Too bad I wasn't with you now, I'm sure there are a ton of places that would be only too happy to pierce a body part or two on the birthday girl! Happy Happy birthday Flo
Love your pal Shell
Happy Birthday I have to admit that I've been getting a lump in my throat everytime I open a comment or e-mail from one of you who are wishing me a happy birthday! I can't tell you how much it means to me to have such wonderful friends and family at home cheering me on. I'm too busy most times to feel homesick, but when I hear from you I realize how much I appreciate your good wishes and how much I miss all of you and my wonderful home. So don't worry - despite having a wonderful time, I will be happy to be home!! Love you all.
Happy Birthday!! Hi: Thanks to Robin for advising your birthday is coming soon - so a Big Happy Birthday from your friend at home:) I know your day will be wonderful as is this whole adventure. Keep the blog and pics coming. Stay healthy and safe, Dar
Happy Birthday Flo Hey you!
Hope you didn't think you would sneak by this one just because you aren't at work at NorQuest! Talk about going to great lengths to avoid another birthday!
Of course, we all miss you and are being thoroughly entertained by your vivid descriptions of your adventures. I sure do wish I could pack up and join you right now - but just one more week to Cuba time - that will have to do.
Anyway, please continue to have the adventure of a lifetime and do enjoy your birthday. We will be thinking about you!
Happy Birthday Hi Flo,
To begin I want to wish you a happy birthday. I know I am a bit early but I figure if I don't send my best wishes to you now I may forget later this week. No doubt, this birthday will be one that stands out. And thanks for remembering mine. Don't know how you managed to do that with all of things you had/have on your plate in preparing for this trip.
I love your blog!! and your pics!! Having the pics really adds dimension to your stories. Sounds like you are thoroughly enjoying your experiences and managing very well on your own. (Not that I had any doubt you would). Spread your wings and Fly Flo!
Robin
Hi Flo - what a brave sole you are!! Hi Flo - I am so proud your courage and am in awe of your adventure! You look healthy and happy and I can't wait to hear more news of your trip. Thank you for including me on your blog - take good care! Darlene
Finding your motorbike Hi Flo,
finding your parked motorbike must be like finding your black suitcase at the airport carousel! Looks like you are adapting well as always!
Your proud friend Shelley
Hi Flo
So good to see and hear you are doing well.I'm loving the pictures and feel like we are living the expierince with you. Keep on writing friend..
Erika
Squatting and eating Great to hear from you Shelley! For anyone reading her comment, Shelley is an x-ray technician and knows of what she speaks. She's also my golfing buddy and you know I might just bring some of those hats for our rounds at Ladies League this year.
Squatting and Eating Hi Flo,
Great to hear that you've travelled safely to Vietnam! Just one comment on the squatting issue, if I remember correctly from the 70's (remember the boat people?), the elders of this group don't have very lovely looking hip joints. We just thought they didn't have enough calcium in their Asian diets, but maybe it's the squatting! Also maybe those roung peaked hats would be a good alternative to golf visors! Would certainly protect us from the sun!
Take care
Shell
