| 8th July 2009 Andy | Nice one - From: Mexican Wedding & Goodbye To Our Friends Just came across this post and brought back many fond memories... I shouldn't drink before photos are taken is one. We often reminisce about our EV times and plan on meeting you guys again! |
| 6th April 2009 Janet Go | South America cruise - From: Our 2nd Cruise: Valparaiso, Chile to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil I enjoyed reading your cruise log: Valparaiso, Chile to Rio. I just returned from a 2-1/2 month cruise on Prinsendam from Florida to Florida, including a week on the Amazon, then south to Rio, Montevideo, B.A. Falklands, Antarctica, Chile, Peru, Panama, Colombia--loved South America. I was surprised how modern the cities were. It was like visiting Europe with a Latin accent. Loved the people, food, wine, music, wildlife, and scenery. Here's to more cruising! Thanks for your blog. |
| 10th March 2009 Gareth and Mel | Love it! - From: Our 2nd Cruise: Valparaiso, Chile to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Hi guys, Thanks so much for continuing to "travelblog". We love seeing what you are up to and would be terribly jealous if we didn't live in such a beautiful place. You must be due for another trip to Oz soon? Love and lots of it, Gareth and Mel |
| 16th July 2008 Achilles | Hey - From: Holiday on Boracay Island, the Philippines There is another Island called Mactan Island but much more easier to visit a direct flight from Manila is available. It is located near Cebu City or Cebu Island. Anyway here's my Blog http://www.filipinoboston.blogspot.com by the way, I can't help but saying it... Melanie your cute. |
| 18th June 2008 Andy | Good Stuff - From: Castle Praha & Larry's 33rd Birthday We miss you guys and Korean food and you guys!! Jeff needs a new t-shirt. Larry and Andre should work more on their Biceps! And Dain... never mind. Girls you all look stunning! |
| 19th April 2008 Gretchen | HaLong Bay trip - From: Vietnam - Hanoi & HaLong Bay I enjoyed reading about your trip to Hanoi & HaLong. We're taking our 3 kids & son-in-law (18-25) to Thailand over Christmas & hope to take a side trip to this area. Our daughter teaches in Thailand so she has done a lot of traveling in that country but not Vietnam. Any other suggestions for adventurous 18-25 year olds? |
| 21st March 2008 Marco | Enjoying Boracay - From: Holiday on Boracay Island, the Philippines Great blog. Those pictures made me want to visit Boracay again... |
| 13th March 2008 Mel & Gareth | Don't work too hard! - From: Holiday on Boracay Island, the Philippines You guys are working about as hard as us back here in Oz! Can we come with you on your next holiday??? |
| 12th March 2008 Jessica Lofbomm | Wow! - From: Holiday on Boracay Island, the Philippines Your photos from Borocay are so beautiful! Your hotel looks awesome. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. |
| 8th March 2008 danny | - From: Christmas & New Year's Eve, Seoul 2007-08 yea... flat stan is pretty awesome. you should take him to a baseball game. |
| 23rd February 2008 Ronnie | Flat Stan! - From: Christmas & New Year's Eve, Seoul 2007-08 What a riot! The pics with Flat Stanley are great! I did the same thing for my brother Bob's daughter Tina about a year back and showed her version - Flat Sandy - around San Pedro, California. My son Anderson helped, and we had a ball! |
| 16th November 2007 Bree | wow! - From: Vietnam - Hanoi & HaLong Bay your trip looks absolutely amazing. i honestly never really thought i would want to travel to vietnam before but now i am dying to go!!!! |
| 15th November 2007 Barnaby Ralph | - From: Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) & The Mekong Delta Wow! A couple of things come to mind here... The first is that you don't tell us how quickly Larry turned down the offer from the masseuse (I'm assuming he did, of course). My guess is that, knowing you were in earshot, he waited an agonizingly long time before refusing... Secondly, your bungalow experience actually reminds me of my time in rural Queensland. In a very hot summer, green tree frogs look for water wherever they can find it, so, if a window is open in your hotel room, the chances are good that you'll find one floating in your toilet looking up at you. Gave me a nasty turn - but I imagine it was worse for the poor frog! Finally, the image of a child selling heroin is striking...and disturbing. Great blog - and amazing stories! |
| 11th November 2007 Danny | lets see some episodes of boom boom!! - From: Boom Boom Musicland - Summer Garden Party - Lake Park Give me the directions for getting to the episodes of "boom boom musicland" !! If I can get to them then I'll try to find a way to make it easier for others to get to them too! |
| 9th November 2007 Buck | Tear in my eye - From: Boom Boom Musicland - Summer Garden Party - Lake Park I'm not crying - my eyes are just sweating... Just got a little reminiscent - thanks. It's great to see that good times are still going on. And Nic's still rockin it!! Mel looks so cute - I guess you didn't dress up as much as you wanted to at EV so I'm glad you finally found your niche. Rememberin' the good times!! Catch you guys soon. |
| 7th November 2007 Barnaby Ralph | - From: Witches & Wizards You guys look pretty serious here - this stuff is great. You seem to have found a comfortable, fun niche there that lets you both use talents that might otherwise lie dormant. I wonder how long you plan to stay! Then again, after seeing Larry in that wig, perhaps it is time for you to get out of the country... |
| 29th September 2007 Christine Gospodarczyk | memories - From: AUSTRALIA Part I - Our Trip to Sydney Hi: sophie's mum here - just stumbled across your Sydney Part 1 bog and it was great to read, see the photos and remember your visit.

As I look back on the many years and wonderful memories I have shared with Melanie, I cannot remember a time when she had a brighter sparkle in her eye than the time that she has spent with Larry. It gives the rest of us hope that true love and romanticism is still alive. I only wish you two were closer so we could share these exciting moments with you (oh, and so I could try on that blinging ring! jk). Seriously, Larry, thank you for being so wonderful to someone so dear to me. She deserves the best, which you have proven to be! Best wishes... |

| 18th February 2006 Bree | Holy Cannoli! - From: Our Engagement Congratulations!!!!! OMG, I am so excited. So happy for you both. I remember when Melanie had her second date with Larry right after we moved into Bedford Estate and said "I love my Guy" - literally. And I was like, whoa - those are heavy words for a second date. And then I think I saw her three more times at the apt. in the next 5 months b/she was always with LareBare! OK, that may be a slight exaggeration...slight. YAY! Congrats congrats congrats. I love you guys and couldn't be happier for you because in the words of Mariah "oh baby baby you belong together"! |

Must be strange walking around a city not knowing where you are going. What do the traing facilities look like? I couldn't imagine washing myself on a bucket next to 6 other dudes, but at least you should have the biggest banana! Keep up the blog, its good reading material. Best of luck to Melanie, hopefully she can keep her eye on the top of the theatre and not get caught in the ropes! Talk to you soon! |

It's a freaking blizzard here in nyc, so you're not missing out! Sayonara, Breebree |

| 30th January 2006 Mariana | WoW - From: Our Trip to Roppongi I'm so gald you guys made it there safe and it seems like your having a great time. I'm so jealous and excited for you. i love the "blogs" thanks for including me on the list. Good lck with aerial stunts Mel I know you'll get the hang of it. Hope to hear from you soon, Mari. |
| 30th January 2006 Erin | So cute I may puke! - From: We made it to Japan You two are absolutely adorable. I only wish to find such an incredible bond someday! It sounds like having your best friend with you forever...slightly making me ill, but that's only b/c I'm jealous. As you probably already know, I miss you like crazy (sounds weird seeing that you weren't exactly part of my everyday life for a few years now). MelWal, you certainly mean the world to me, an Larry, you're pretty amazing, too! I am so excited to hear how much fun you two are having. I look forward to more great information. As for me, the only news I have is that I have lost 8.6 pounds on Weight Watchers so far. I can't tell the difference to save my life, but I'm still hanging in there, as I do not wish to remain one of those fat, lazy Americans you speak of. :) I'll keep you updated. I love you. Have a great week! Now I am going to try and bribe Amy to play cards with me! Adios! That's the closest I'll come to another language...sorry guys, but I am learning a lot from you! :) |

| 29th January 2006 Brenda | We Love You Both So Much - From: We made it to Japan Love your blog and am so interested in the culture. Very interesting about the cleanliness! I am so glad you are not overwhelmed by the culture but hope you are not overworked, Melanie! You're a star now (not that you haven't always been!) We really miss you and hope you are both happy, safe and enjoying life. We hope to visit you! |
