Great story and wonderful to see you! I love reading about your trip and now I know why I don't like to eat living things. I just thought it was mean and now I know I am coming back as a cow. Great...You both look wonderful. The pictures are so clear and beautiful and Warner does look like a god . Well Brett, I can see you make the best of any situation. Most people would have been upset about their foot but once a day went by you seemed to work around it. Good boy. Be safe , have more fun.
We all love you and miss you here.
Love MOM
wow! Thailand sounds amazing! I'm not allowed to travel until I'm done with the SAT, but reading your travel blogs help make me feel like I'm there too! I love the flower pictures! how long did it take to bloom after she touched it? Also, that's really nice of the girl to pay for your hospital bills! She's either very rich, or really likes you! Good luck with your foot and travels!
Hey =) Hey Brett,
Nice you guys are having fun, sounds amazing there. Please tell Warner I'm sorry I missed his calls, but that I listen to his messages to hear his voice and they make me smile to the point that people probably think I'm crazy. Send him my love and a huge hug him for me. I won't ask you to kiss him though, that's all mine. ;-) Anyway you two continue to have a good time, be careful and take care of each other. Eat lots of seafood and swim in some pristine water for me.
Happy Bday! Happiest Bday Brett. I missed your entries^^ glad your foot is getting better. And who is that cute puppy? It looks just like my dog Wisdom. Such a pretty place, its so cool everyone is so friendly^^ keep having fun.....love,
shanni

So it begins... Welcome to South East Asia! Japan don't count, sorry...LOL Way too clean and civilized and orderly.
But now, you are starting to climb down the ladder of the familiar into the way way unfamiliar. Which is what this whole thing is all about, huh?
Now's a good time to check your bag - make sure you have everything, because KL is pretty good when it comes to shopping. Also, if you still need a shot to finish a series, this is a good spot also, because facilities are clean and cheap and pretty functional.
Also, take a HARD look at what you got and how heavy is your bag anyway? From here on out, unless you followed my usually confused comments, you will do a lot of shlepping of the thing and it will start to get h-e-a-v-y...
Try the peanut pancakes for breakfast if you can find them - and remember you are now in a Muslim country. I know, hard to forget with all the scarves on the women. Just be a little bit more aware...women are regarded much differently than they are in the West. No comment.
Cheers
great picture Dear Brett,
Good timing! I just got to a library in Hammock Dunes. Youl look great and sound like you are having the time of your life. Jon is polite too! He just isn't with you. We are having fun here and maybe you and Lisa will come and visit here with us. I miss you and Lisa . Give her a hug for me before you leave her and be safe when you travel. Say hi to your insane travel partner and tell him to behave himself. Hi Warner. You guys have a great time.
Love Mom and Larry
cute picture!! HI!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE EATING THE CRAB UNTIL I READ YOUR JOURNAL. WHAT A COOL WAY TO DRINK SAKE.. DID IT TASTE LIKE CRAB??
I TALK TO YOUR MOM THIS AM AND READ THIS JOURAL TO HER. SHE IS SO EXCITED ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURES... WE LOVE YOU --TAKE LOTS OF CARE ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE...
SAY HI AND THANKS TO LISA AND HER PARENTS FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF YOU.
LOVE , AUNT LANNIE AND MOM:):):)XXOOX
I am SO freakin happy for you Brett. Tell Risa I said hello. I'm gonna stop by the house and say hi to the pups. So happy that yor get to add more pins to your worldly map. Peace out....dave
Beard If you are like most of us, a beard sounds like a wonderful idea - but out here in SE Asia, what with the heat and humidity the thing itches worse than a cheap suit.
But hey, give it a shot.
Please, please, if possible, try to see a sporting event before you leave - I don't know what season it is, but baseball or sumo are the ones to really see.
Octopus balls?
wow!!! I DON'T NEED TO GO TO JAPAN , I AM SEEING IT THROUGH YOUR EYES!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. THE PICTURES ARE AWESOME. YOU AND LISA LOOK LIKE YOU ARE HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES. I AM SOOOOOO GLAD....
LOTS OF LOVE,
AUNT LANNIE XXOXOXOOX
Thanks The pictures are just lovely. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Enjoy every minute of your trip. These are memories you will treasure always.

The dog ate my homework Oh, sorry, I was just thinking one of my messages here disappeared. Anyway, cool pictures, but PLEASE, get CLOSER either with or too the camera. The closer the better - I know, you wanted the picture of the mountain, but give it a shot, ok? Really, no fooling, get closer. Kyoto is a beautiful place. Keep on keeping on.
japan trip its so cool seeing your vacation as its happening. we're so glad you're having the 2nd time of your life.......europe last year! Risa's family seems very sweet and you're very fortunate to have such great company and friends thousands of miles from home. that smile on your face in every pic tells what a great time your having with Risa and her family. tell them if they ever want to see the north carolina of WNC they are all very welcome here with us and tou and Risa. keep the stories and pics coming....love you very , very much.....dad and denise
enjoy i have been enjoying your entries and enjoying following your journey...i really admire what your doing and risa and her family seem great...it seems like a wonderful trip so far and i wish you a continued terrific time...stay safe...
Lannie and grandma could use more help! Hi Brett,
What a wonderful and most beautiful place....of course Lisa is still the most beautiful thing there but one can't compare. Has Lisa ever traveled in her country before? She sounds as excited as you and how great to have teachers taking you around. They must know alot about history.
Thank you for the blessings but next time around give it to Lannie for me. She is not well even as we speak. You know how much we need Aunt Lannie....... Give her many good blessings.
I love you and I can use the public library in Palm Coast to read and communicate with you.
Keep the stories and pictures coming. Everyone is reading them.
Love to you both.
