| 15th April 2009 Upper Middler | CAMP NELLIE HUCKINS - From: Camp Huckins Life....... HUCKINS IS MY LIFE I GO FOR TWO WEEKS, BUT I WISH I STAYED THEIR MY WHOLE LIFE (yet still see family somehow) |
| 7th December 2008 vietnamguide | An interesting experience - From: Trekking in SaPa Your experience was so fantastic. Thanks for your sharing. Hope you have more good contribution. I am wondering if I could post this entry on our blogs with your permission. Also, the more people read, the more they desire to experience like you. I am looking forward to hearing from your positive reply! |
| 23rd November 2008 Jenny | Krista! - From: Hanoi and Halong Bay Good lord, is she alright? I'm no doctor but it sounds to me like she went into, or went almost into, anaphylactic shock, which COULD have been fatal. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I have had this reaction a few times, and when I have doctors have given me an antihistamine, like Benadryl. If you see some somewhere I'd recommend stocking up on it, just in case it happens again. Unless she reacts badly to Benadryl, but it's usually used as like a cold medicine. How scary! I'm so excited for you guys, though, that you're on this awesome trip! You're so inspirational the way you just up and go to cool places. I wish I was closer to all these cool places and not a half a world away. :) When you're done with this trip, come back to Boston and visit again. :D xoxo! Jenny |

| 10th September 2005 Jenny | FALULAH!!! - From: Last few days at camp..... So, there I was. Minding my own business, realizing that (Good Lord Almighty) I'm having a TOTAL brain fart on how the Farewell song starts. I decide, just for the hell of it, to google camp huckins farewell song and about the fourth "relevant" site on the list is some random blog. The words are obviously about Huckins, and it's obviously written by someone on staff, but I have no idea who it's from when all of a sudden, there's the name FLORA!!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH, FLO!!! I miss you SO much. And you didn't write down any of your information in my little book. I can't write to you, I can't call you, I can't do anything. But I do miss you. The second you guys were out of sight as I drove away from you I was absolutely SOBBING. Sobbing. I wonder how you three are doing in LaLaLand and I miss living with you and our stupid little messes. Okay, fine, our ridiculously huge messes. Please write to me and tell me what's going on. jclemensfox@gmail.com I love you, Flo! Big, Fat, Huckins Heart, Jenny |

| 16th June 2005 Frenger on Tour | Anon-a-Mouse - From: Adios Amigos..... Hi there Flora>inspired indeed - its been good to read all your activities and experiences on the blog pages. thought it would be rude not to do one also.
