| 27th February 2007 Lionel | WOW - From: A little bit of France. Pam for reasons I cant understand I was not getting your blog and when I did I couldnt get into it. This morning I did some investigation and figured out how to get in and read all of your blogs from begining to this one (Feb. 25th)....I have found a new carreer for you. Your are such and excellent writer you must begin to write a book on your global travels......it would be a best sellar............I find myself wanting to hold a map when I read because truthfully I find the spelling of the locations quite combersome... I worry I dont give each of them the attention the deserve................you continue to amamze me..........your detrimantion, your curiosity,..........such remarkable character traits.................stay safe..........have fun...........bring home pictures.............all the best, Lionel |

| 23rd February 2007 Shirl | Enjoy the climate - From: Flowers Sounds fabulous, Pam. Flowers seem like a distant memory in Saskatoon in February. We have another blizzard today and people who live out of town are leaving work early so they don't get storm-stayed. Big winds and snow. Luckily it is "only" minus eight degrees C or so. Our snowbanks in the yard are the biggest we can remember in 18 years we've been in our house. So enjoy the climate! See you soon. |

| 21st February 2007 Suzanne | Pondichérry - From: India Hi, I know nothing of India but remembering a movie I saw .... Pondicherry was a french area. In the movie it sounded as though it was some kind of a paradise for the french people....paradise!!!!! You tell me... |

| 16th February 2007 Monique | Vacation in Varkala - From: Paradise I'm so glad for you that you found Varkala beach. I loved the black sand and the cliffs and the dolphins that would come in to play in the morning. I also ate the best falafels of my life at a restaurant up a spiral staircase toward the top end of the beach strip. Have you met Renata, the exuberant US expat yet? I imagine her to be a mainstay. Enjoy! |
| 15th February 2007 donnie | Just curious. . . - From: Paradise When you go shopping & buy something, where do you put it? Do you have to carry the "buys" with you? Or, do you leave stuff in a locker at the train station? I know - how mundane! |
| 15th February 2007 Kelly Bourassa | Hello From Regina - From: Paradise Wow, Kerala sounds amazing. Glad you are getting some sun and rest. It can be exhausting when one is constantly moving from place to place. All is well here....we are just today (Thursday Feb. 15) getting a break from minus 30 so would rather have been there with you this last week. Blair is settling into Edmonton on his first week of work at GreatWest Life and Laura has been in Tanzania for a week already (at a CIDA planning workshop) but will be back next Wednesday. Your house is awesome.......very quiet and relaxing. Take care....Kelly..... |
| 15th February 2007 Mary Anne | Paradise - From: Paradise It is what you were longing for - the beach and all the amenities that go with a tourist place - you deserve the break after all the road travel. |

What a success story; they're still amazing almost 20 years later! Just a thought about Dubai's construction--I notice the CN Tower in TO is still the world's tallest free-standing structure. Yeah Canada! We ate curry last night thinking of you (but ours was made with beef). xoxo |

| 29th January 2007 Donnie | Planning is good! - From: OTHERWORLDLY !! Wow - your itinerary sounds super!

| 18th January 2007 Dorina | Amazing - From: Awesome Hello Pam, it does sound wonderful and we will look forward to your pictures. What did you say a kelim was? We made it home in the wee hours of the morning and are moving slowly today. The cruise ship was beautiful and the food and extertainment was terrific. We spent a great day with Roger & Carole Puerto Vallarta and they showed us the sights and took us to a local restaurant for some great seafood. In Zihuatanegjo /Ixtapa we toured the local market and checked out the shops; this is the second time we have been there and it is one of our favoirite places in MX. In Cabo San Lucas we went snorkeling and whales watching but it was cool; the tequil kept us warm. The week went bye far to fast. Bye for now, Dorina |

| 14th January 2007 Brenda | What you're missing - From: Arriving in Istanbul Pam,you escaped (and I arrived home in time for) some pretty serious minus46 eyeball freezind weather, with blizzards farther north.

| 14th January 2007 Suzanne | Montréal - From: Arriving in Istanbul Hi Good for you, it was a good start though the suitcase delay could have been trouble....but you have a good star...and a good spirit. You are saying that Istambul is like nothing else, quite amazing...not so european then. And you compare to Angkor witch was so extraordinary. I recognise your curiocity with the rug makers, I see you chatting with them. Those 2 rugs where quite the idea. Are they all over you like those little old ladies in Sapa selling us things? I remember it has quite an experience. Them all over you and still see the picture in my head. Are you still plannig in staying in the 2 differents Istambul community? Remember 3 nights in the same bed.... Bye have a nice trip Suzanne. |
| 13th January 2007 Kelly & Laura | All Is Well - From: Arriving in Istanbul Glad all went well in your travels......everythign is great here. Temperature went up to minus 20 from minus 30 and it now seems balmy. Laura is at a weekend retreat and Blair and I will just hang about. Love the back porch for coffee and newspaper in the morning. We love the friendly people in Turkey,even if they do want to sell something they still are curious about you and will offer tea. How pleasant!!! Enjoy!!! Send more notes...... Kelly (for Laura and Blair, too) |
