Small world - From: Nam's Return
Just back from Vietnam. Adopted little girl on the left in the 3rd picture from TQ center. What a small world. I hope we can return with her in 11 years (she's almost 3 now). Her web site is: http://www.cattivi.com/archived/phuong/ruby.html Pictures from our adoption trip at http://www.flickr.com/gp/17450377@N04/6Jn3E1 Best to you and your family.

loved your blog - From: Byron Bay at Last
I am from Brisbane and most people here love Byron too. And YES 3 days for Australia... unheard of!! ha ha. I have enjoyed reading your adventures. I have 3 kids too so found it entertaining. I have always thought about adoption and loved reading about your family and how happy you seem at making it work.

Wow - From: The Bangkok Incident
This is a story that you will some day be able to laugh about. I know we can relate to it, more on a smaller scale in a theme park setting. I can only imagine, how happy you all must have been, the first night you got to be home once again and sleeping in your own beds

Good Stuff...Keep it commin' - From: Small Elephants and Big Rocks
Just got caught up with your trip after returning from Europe with Drew and my Dad. Love those family outings! You guys are are very lucky--a trip to remember for a lifetime! Get Nam to keep a journal on the critters, creepy crawleys, and beautiful flowers he is seeing for his Biology teacher--and maybe some pictures too. Stay fit and well, and keep the posts coming. Looking forward to a full report when you return.

your photos - From: Sri Lanka and the Orphanage
The picture of Rachel on the beach is exquisite. Sounds like you are having the trip of a lifetime. What a wonderful gift to give your children! All is fine here--the Backyard Deck that Ate Douglas Park is still in the works. We'll have you over to christen it upon your return to Western Civ.! CF

Hello Dunbar Family I've been catching up with your travel blog. What an amazing trip! Can't wait to get together and hear more. I wish Anna had access to a computer so she could read the entries as well. Rachel will have to fill her in personally. Debbie, I hope you bought a sari for yourself I think you would look lovely in one. Thanks for taking the time to write the blog. Take care and stay safe. Noemi

WOW - From: Sri Lanka and the Orphanage
How incredible is it that the same people that were at Rachel's adoption years ago, are still there!! Henry, you are doing an amazing job - I am so enjoying reading all of the entries and seeing the pictures. Thanks for doing the blog! Debbie - it is quiet and boring here without you. Stay safe!

Most Amazing... - From: Sri Lanka and the Orphanage
I think these are the most amazing pictures thus far. I also think this must be an amazing journey for the kids. As an adoptive mother myself I can only imagine how many emotions both parents and kids are processing right now, especially the kids. I'm sure it's a joyful yet sometimes sad and poignant experience for all. Stay strong and enjoy everything this trip has to offer. We still miss you Debbie!

Wow! - From: Agra and the Taj Mahal
Hey, I just logged on to see what the Dunbar / Hill group was up to. I am amazed by your adventures and the pictures. I also laughed at Nam's comment about Debbie tipping too much and not being a very good haggler :) Too funny. I know I would be the same way. Stay safe and keep up the good work. This is the trip of a lifetime so I am jealous! Mandy

Yo! - From: Agra and the Taj Mahal
Hi Guys! Things are going fine in the hood. We missed you on the 4th. The trip sounds amazing so far. The picture of the kids in front of the Taj Mahal is definitely Christmas card material. Did you bring a Washington Post with you? Their photo could be published in the Kids Post. Hope Henry's feeling better. Can't wait to read your next entry!

How hot is HOT, anyway? - From: Agra and the Taj Mahal
What a good-looking crew~ Don't all those megatons of marble at least cool you down psychically? Is the lady actually buried inside? I love the posters' changing voices. I bet the Dunbars get a book deal out of this blog. love, Amy Naz.

Great blog entries! - From: My actual opinions
All, I've been catching up on your adventures after our vacation. The blog entries are terrific - keep it up! You should think about quitting your day jobs (and school!) to become travel writers. Can't wait for the next entry. Have fun! -- Reid

News from RIFland..... - From: My actual opinions
I loved being able to read all about your trip today since I am sitting happily at home and not on some silly business trip or out on the Mall where they evacuated at 5 p.m. due to thunder storms. People will start coming back to the Mall about 7 p.m., and indeed the storm is passing over, sun is back out sporadically here in Alexandria. The BIG news in RIFland is that Thea Helen was born to Rebecca yesterday....7 lbs. 7 oz. and 20 inches long. Sue Ryan went by the hospital today to wish baby Thea a Happy 4th on her very first 4th...Rebecca's mother believes Thea's ear (not sure which one) is perfect according to Sue's report...in fact Sue said Thea's grandmother believes Thea is perfect, period; and Rebecca is smiling nonstop ear to ear! Thanks again for your wonderful blog! Carol

Celebrate the 4th!! - From: My actual opinions
Hello Dunbar family, I've enjoyed reading about your adventures... from Nam's philosophical view about peeing in public, to Rachel's cross town traffic musings, to Lydia's thoughts and feelings about her ol' home town. Enjoy the rest of your trip and celebrate the 4th of July! Cheeseburgers and hot dogs for everyone!! Or, kheema and dhal! Indian's also share the need for celebrating independance from the British... although their day is different from ours.

No smell in basement - From: What Lydia Thinks...
Hey, I'm staying here and there is no smell in the basement! Noland is fine. I will write later about my adventures with Noland. Oh yah, he just goes in the cage in the basement at night (in the basement). I had to drag him in. Maybe he thinks it stinks down there. KK

Sounds Exciting - From: Hyderabad
It is great to travel the world with this amazing family. It makes Newton Grove look kind of red necked, but it still has it circle drive! NC is still a beautiful place to be. Have a wonderful, unforgettable trip. And thanks for sharing. Aunt Grace

Breaking the Mold - From: What Lydia Thinks...
Lydia: Thanks for the recap; it's good to see you are still "breaking the mold" after all these years ; you did even back then evidently (after you, they had to close down/knock down the orphanage:::)??!!! You DO have a way of making an impact on people and things, and hopefully that continues well into your future. Keep us all posted of your adventures ; the girls say "hi" ...just don't complain about our moldy-smelling basement when you get back....JonCarEmNieve

Greetings!!! - From: 2nd Day in India!! WOOT WOOT!!
It's been great keeping up with you guys and reading about your journey (escapade!!!). It certainly brings on a huge smile and laugh while reading your blog. Well Nam -- it's great to know that your acquiring new taste buds :) and your entries do keep one smiling. Go on and make a pee picture - no one will know.
