Merry Xmas Ron & Pam,
Thanks for the c-0-0-l pictures. The bar looks awesome. Mt. Cook looks like a very beautiful area. Gorgeous pictures.
Xmas break is going well. Fall temperatures, relaxation, reading your recommended Ludlum book,golf, etc.
Continue to enjoy, and Merry Xmas to you both.

Stunning... Do you wake up every day thinking, I am living my dream?? Wow...just give me the stacked stone cottage, the rose garden and the address for the wine tasting spot....LOL
The photos are, as always wonderful wonderful additions to this lovely tale :) Miss you both, was thinking of you while Christmas shopping yesterday Pam! HUGGGGSSSSSS
Really liked the pictures of the hikes and the glaciers. Are they advancing or receding? You two should be in great shape with all the hiking you have been doing. Talk to you in a few weeks.
Good gracious!!! You guys are living the dream. Happy holidays and keep on send the BLOGS becus it is so awesome to see everything!! Who could imagine glaciers there?! Do you miss the states? All is well here..Eliz.

Hello Ron & Pam,
Enjoyed the pictures and the explanation of your adventures. It is great to enjoy your trips with and for you.
Cool Weather and the Holidays on the horizon. Jenna's team still undefeated. Steven, Gail and I are fine.
My sister at the moment is pain free! She can't believe it, it has been so long.
Take Care.
Jim
Wish I were there Hey guys, It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Wish I were there. Thanks for being so descriptive as they really help me to visulize your experience. I am so glad Lynne has shared your emails so I could access the blogs. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing about more of your adventures. Jane
Ughhhhaahhhhh...... Do we ever have different lives. I am SO happy for your enjoyment, adventures, and relaxation. Meanwhile I got my guys, almost 4 and almost 2. Lots of runny noses, and interesting langauges to encounter and interpret. When to the time comes i've got to get to the Cook Islands. I'll be ready. Thanks for your appetizing look at some future vacation. Love, mindy
oops We were on the same spot as you guys 8 months ago in Rarotonga. Amazing! Red Kayaks out to the motu,the bus trip, the beauty. Our own private motu with the locals too. It is so fun reading your blogs and especially having been right there. You GO guys!!! We're in Naples now, new job, people and experiences. Way more professional than most I know from Sarasota Co. It is a welcome change of pace and an adventure both girls and myself are up to. Jennifer turned 16 last wee, has a boyfriend and starts her 1st job tomorrow. She loves it here and it was the best move I could've ever made for her. Elizabeth is finishing up her Senior year and attending classes at Edison College and AP classes at Naples High. Not sure what I am doing with the house on the island of Venice but time will tell. Keep having fun and know that others are looking and reading your story and reminiscing of our journeys to the same locale. Way cool. Be sure to visit Tasmania if you get an opportunity. Port Arthur was former prison and quite interesting. I would only love to be doing your trip under sail. Someday....my time will come too. Be safe, God bless and keep on enjoying!!! Kathe & girls
wow... Love it Love it Love it....in view of whats going on in my world right now...30 degrees and snow flurries, this almost makes me want to be there, bugs and all :) Also, office politics right now at my job are blowing everything up...people getting fired all over the place and many changes no one expected! So its nice to live a pleasant day through your pictures! Miss you!
Late as usual....the REST of the comment :) When I got the notices of the update to the journal, I thought "ooohhhh I wanna wait til I really have time to enjoy the pictures...and tonight was it and there was another one...! I can see that I will have to run to keep up with you even vicariously! LOL I agree with Donna, you both look so happy! Have fun, this is a wonderful way to stay in touch. Miss you both!
Great photos I love traveling with you. It is almost like being there. We are still camping. In the Great Smoky Mts. tonight. All the kids and grands are fine. We have dedided to extend our trip and not go home till Nov. 15. Keep bloging.
I love you
Dorothy
Okay, I'm jealous now! Hello Pam and Ron! Wow! The views are simply spectacular. What a great experience to be on Easter Island for several days! Tahiti's beaches/water look splendid too! Danrello thanks you for the postcard. He is bringing it to school tomorrow in hopes of having a postcard from the farthest away place. He received a lesson from mom on atolls when the card arrived. I'm sharing your blog pictures with my friend, Mark. Keep up the blog--we love it! Be well! Our love, Diane, Erin, and Danrello

Wilma! Hello Pam and Ron!
Great photos! So happy to see your blog up and running nicely. I'm always excited to get blogged by you! Just got back from Ft. Lauderdale (little weekend vacation without the kids) in time to "hunker down" for the hurricane. Hope Wilma doesn't creat too much chaos. Love, Di
Great photos The blog update is great. We are in Egg Harbor and headed for Fish Creek. You have inspired us to try the fish boil. Have a great trip. Write soon. IT IS STILL RAINING
