Hey! You are so good at writing what you are seeing and experiencing!! I sit and read your blog and imagine it and then I look up and I see Tommy eating a mouth full of sand and Brody is just watching in amusement!! Your blog really takes me where you are, which is good because I am not a good traveler and I would rather read about it!! PLUS having these two monsters I will not be going anywhere for a long long time!! Glad you are doing well!! I tried to call you before you left, but your phone was turned off---please keep in touch!!
Very pretty I love the pictures of the Himalayan sunrise - very beautiful. Mom said that you're finished with your classes and are on your way to Indonesia to work on your research. I hope you learned a lot in school and that your research goes well. Can't wait to hear more. Miss you. Take care. Love you.
wow!!!!!!!!! tom and i have really been enjoying your blogs!! what a fabulous trip you and sean have had thus far!! it's like reading a good book...can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter. the both of you look well. know that we are thinking of you!
India looks much better! Lori, the blog is great! I'd say this definitely shows quite an improvement of India from what you saw your first few weeks! I'm reading the book INTO THIN AIR by Jon Krakauer (Judy's book) that is all about his experience with mountaineering starting there in Darjeeling. You'll find it especially interesting after seeing some of the actual places. Love you and Miss you.
Your next career... ...should really be with Lonely Planet! Great writing, Lori- I feel even more prepared for when I make it to Varanasi. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
glad you're having fun After reading your intro, I was worried that the trip wasn't quite living up to what you were hoping for. But the rest of your descriptions sound like you're enjoying it. It sounds like you've really been on the move and seeing a ton. I can't wait until you have time to add more pictures and stories. Tell Sean "hi". Have fun!
Fantastic Lori, You did a fantastic job of describing the good and bad that is India. How can something be so beautiful and so ugly at the same time? Well said. I look forward to reading more about your adventures are you learn and grow from the experience. And hopefully you don't get sick in the process!
Travel stories I didn't want to read but HAD to!! Lori, your blog of Laos made me laugh and shutter at the same time. I'm wondering at what point did you think that maybe this wasn't the best idea the 2 of you had come up with?!?! You do know you're mighty lucky to have been able to give all of us a "happily ever after" ending, right?
I know the time for your journey is drawing to an end - but the memories will go on forever - they are your precious possessions! It has been quite a trip, huh?! We are so anxious to hear more and see photos. Can't wait to get you home!!
Love you, MOM
what an adventure I should say that you earned your road trip badge! It sounds like all of the trials and tribulations of the road into Laos were well worth it, if for the elephant ride alone! I didn't realize that you and Nate were the only tourists there - what an amazing experience!! I can't wait to see your pictures. Have fun!!
Vietnam ... then & now Lori, you really have been seeing & hearing first hand some amazing stories about a very intense time in our country's history. I can well imagine what an impression all of this has had on you. We are anxious to get you back home here in another few weeks and learn even more about what you've experienced. Your blog is so full of insights and thoughts - I love it! The pictures are so good - I especially like the one of the adorable little girl - so sweet! The countryside is gorgeous. Your hike reminded me of Wyoming:) Take good care of you ... we miss you and love you, MOM XOXOX
Love your pics of Vietnam! Thomas has decided he wants to go there so we were looking through your pictures together. Ho Chi Minh City is definitely on our list for next time. I'm glad you did Ha Long Bay. You do such a great job describing your trip- I feel like I am back in Vietnam. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
sounds like more good times Hi! It sounds like your trip has been a complete success so far. Your descriptions and the pictures are wonderful - thank you so much for sharing. The floating markets are amazing - they look so cool. Did you buy anything from them that you had to catch? Seems kind of risky - what happens if you drop and it falls in? Too fun! Can't wait to hear more!! Love, Amy
Lovin' the geckos! I am so proud of you for showering with the lizard! Just look at how grown up we are: you are showering with lizards you refer to as "your new friend" and I booked a plane trip this weekend. Have fun and remember your "old friends" back on the main land miss you!
