We said that once we were back from our year of travelling and have a home to live in and when we have finished our renovations we would have an open house. Well all those things have come and gone so were going to show our travel pictures (bring a blanket and pillow). We are planning the open house for November 7, 2009 - 3:00PM till whenever you all go home or we run out of booze. I know a lot of you guys are from out of town and of course are invited but coming from Scotland isn't necessary, just [View Full Entry]

This was a quick dash through all three countries. We visited family that I hadn´t seen in a long time and met others that I´d never met. Very exciting. We traveled from Glasgow through the highlands in Scotland and as far north as Ulleypoole. We also went to Edinburgh castle. Scotland is so different from what I remember and I definitely have a different outlook on it. Beautiful country. Thanks to Cathy, Cully, Alice, Frank, Laura,Keith, Nicky, Jack and Andrew for all your hospitality. We had a great time. In England we went to the English Riviera - Torquay and saw [View Full Entry]

Hi there, we are furiously trying to catch up on these blogs but there really is not enough hours in the day. Greece was absolutely fabulous - we both fell in love with it - the people, the beauty, the food. Really I think I was Greek in a past lifetime. It felt like home. The people are boisterous,loud, and talk fast and with their hands. It was great. The greek salad was to die for. We only spent a few weeks there and wanted to return but the euro was killing us and we had to make some very important [View Full Entry]

Hello, time for another update aka a boring night about the world today. We spent an incredible month or so in Turkey. This is a must stop for everyone who is thinking about touring in the area. We also had the pleasure to hang out with our friends Rena and Anne from Kamloops. Turkey is amazing, you have all the ruins and weather of Greece, the variety of cultures and customs of Europe and Asia and the friendliness of Scotland, no kilts though. Highlights (in the order we travelled, not by any other criteria) Ephesus - very cool Roman ruin site [View Full Entry]

Hello all, we have just arrived back in Bangkok after about 4 weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia. Today is May 16 and we are in an internet kiosk booking plans for Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. I will cover our trip to Vietnam on this blog entry. Vietnam, what can you say about Vietnam. We flew from Bangkok to Hanoi on April 16, I had done an online visa application before hand. We arrived at the Hanoi airport with all the appropriate documentation in hand. There was a French tour group ahead of us and this seemed to cause massive confusion [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Hope this finds everyone doing well and the weather getting warmer. Well we had some exciting times in Krabi. Got got in a massive monsoon type rainstorm. We've never seen it rain so hard. We were sitting on the deck of a restaurant and had front row seats to watch the lightning show. All was well until Marcia and I had to go to the toilet. I had flip flops on and just about fell on my ass going down the stairs - marble is very slippery when wet. The guy from the restaurant gave us an umbrella because [View Full Entry]

Yes we are still on this planet - having a bit too much fun here and no time for the blog. Well since we last blogged we have been island hopping - seen alot of the south of Thailand. Ko Samui was once the place to go but is now very overpopulated and still growing except for the sewer system - we were not impressed - quite disgusting. But we did meet some very nice people Deb and Lisa from London. We are hoping to meet up with them when we get there. We toured around the island which only takes [View Full Entry]
