| 27th September 2007 Daniele | Djibouti golf course - From: Douda Golf Club I find this blog quite offenisive. It is easy for you to write an "ironic" recount of the sand course in djibouti, but actually it is not very good taste to be critical like that. Yes you will find camels, yes there is no green and yes it is unusual. However the guys that have built and maintain it are proud and are doing a damn sight better than other peers in their country for which they should be commended rtaher than told that you can barely call it a golf course. The caddys are young local guys that make a bit of money to stay off the street, so they shold be commanded for it too. And try to develop a grass course under 40C constant heat and then let me know how you get on. Suggest you hang around on a clean florida course or where ever you are from than going around with attitude and critising other cultures for the sake of writing a funny blog!! |
| 8th January 2007 carol | WELL DONE AND THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO - From: Trip to Lake Asal we have a contract in Djibouti and were scouring the net for info. Was very grateful to read your blog. THanks again. Happy travels ps what was the Bellvue hotel really like! ??? Thats where we are staying. |
| 18th May 2006 Stubbseys | Are you home yet? - From: City Walk I guess you are home by now and back into the golf fulltime again. We have loved the blog and thought you should keep it up for all your Aussie friends to keep up with you day to day. How about it? We are in Denham WA and loving the life. Jo and John |
| 10th May 2006 dave landy | home - From: Walk about Town you're probably home by now, but if you're still overseas, I might suggest you be carefull and alert as I have been reading the newspaper and I am under the impression that the area of the world you are in is a little risky . be carefull. who knows where the oil they used on the putting green came from. there could be pcb's in it or something awful like that. wipe your shoes real well before you go in the house. Better yet come back to the states and play golf where the grass is healthy. concerned about your welfare, cousin dave. |

| 1st April 2006 CR | CVPOA - From: Douda Golf Club The nuts are out of the tree!! I understand that the Cypress Blvd. Irrigation plan passed. I also understand some resident[s?] threatened to sue CVPOA if it is initiated because they are not permitted to spend money on county property and the median is!! What a bunch we have! |
| 30th March 2006 Jo Stubbs | Great golf courses - From: Douda Golf Club Hi Moni and Phil Loved your golf course at Douda. Have you read about the course at Elliston on our blog? Have to say this blogging is such a great way of staying in touch with everyone. Have you found the Chinese restaurant yet? |
| 28th March 2006 Pat Schuessler | Definite Fore!! - From: Douda Golf Club That was such a funny blog entry. It made me laugh. There is a course on Long Island with sand greens, & I thought that was odd. By the way, did you get my email to yahoo? ~ Pat ~ |
| 26th March 2006 Kathy and Bill | Travelblogs and Pictures - From: Grocery Shopping We are really enjoying reading about all about your adventures and seeing the pictures. We took your mom and my mom out on St. Patricks Day for corn beef and cabbage. We all had a good time. Keep the news coming. |
| 22nd March 2006 CR | Cross - From: Port Djibouti Looks like a "March Of Dimes" logo |
| 20th March 2006 Stephanie Runfola | Got your message - From: Grocery Shopping Dad, I got your message last night on my home phone. I had a soccer game at 7:00pm and must have just missed your call. This Sunday my game is at 6:00pm so if you try to get a hold of me around 4:00pm I'll most likely be home then. The pictures look great!! I see you're already counting down the days;). Tracy and I did talk to Nana. All is well with her. Talk to you Sunday. Love, Steph |
| 18th March 2006 Philip J. Runfola | WOW - From: Grocery Shopping Hi Phil & Monica I like your new means of communication. Keep them coming. Send more pictures if you can. With the price of food their, I think I'm happy to be in the USA. |
| 18th March 2006 Carole Weinberger | Love the Blog - From: Grocery Shopping Hi Phil and Monica, Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy the travelblogs that you send. Makes me feel like I am almost there with you. Must admit it is probably a little cooler here. Stay well and we are looking for the next blog. Carole and Chuck |
| 18th March 2006 Steve | recent addition - From: Grocery Shopping Phil, The place looks clean and well kept. Keep trying to load photos as its a great way for all to see what you and Monica are doing. It looks like Christine and Chad finally sold their half of the duplex. They should move in with us on the 25th and stay until their new mansion is completed in June/July. Take care, Steve |
| 17th March 2006 Pat Schuessler | Pictures - From: Grocery Shopping Hi Phil & Monica, The pictures came out this time & look good. Miss you guys! ~ Pat ~ |
| 15th March 2006 Stephanie Runfola | - From: The Adventures of Monica and Phil Hi Dad and Monica, I can't wait to see the pictures you post. We actually had temps in the high 80's here last week!!! Unfortunately that was short lived!! |
| 15th March 2006 Jo Stubbs | Our walks about town - From: Walk about Town Hi Guys We have been walking about Ceduna, SA. We didn't realise it was on the coast with beautiful beaches. Have been eating oysters whilst you have been eating whoppers! Heading across the Nullarbor desert tomorrow so will be a few days before we can blog again. Love Jo and John |
| 14th March 2006 Debbie | Great to hear from you - From: Camp Lemonier Greetings Phil and Monica--I love the blog and look forward to reading more about your adventures in Djibouti. All is well in Washington--the cherry blossoms are ready to make their annual appearance as I head off to Italy for several weeks (sounds rather pedestrian, doesnt it?) |
| 14th March 2006 CR | Tuesday Golf - From: Camp Lemonier Large chops today--I needed 11---made 23--Had my 11 in the first 4 holes--2 birdies in a row. Would have done better except I lost my 8 iron[ chipping iron] at the 7th hole and had to make do after that. Reese found it so all turned out fine. |
| 14th March 2006 CR | Quotabusters - From: The Adventures of Monica and Phil I shall report the results!! First tee is us @ 9:10 am--where???? |
| 12th March 2006 Don Kingsley | Ha! - From: The Adventures of Monica and Phil I know that the story about a haircut is false because you don't have enough hair for a haircut. Seriously, is there a golf course there? I looked on Google Earth and don't see one. Is it like the original one in Alice, sand with sand greens? We finally had rain in our desert after 143 days of drought. It sounds like you will beat our summer temperatures though. What sort of food to they offer there? Can you eat western, or are you on a diet of goat meats and eyeballs? Hope Monica is coping with the shopping. Our love. |
| 5th March 2006 Jo Stubbs | Welcome to the new bloggers - From: The Adventures of Monica and Phil See - it's easy isn't it? We are still in the Barossa and leaving tomorrow so will hopefully add to our blog tomorrow. Looking forward to more about Djibouti and photos. |
| 4th March 2006 Pat Schuessler | Your safe arrival - From: The Adventures of Monica and Phil Hi Phil & Monica, How cool is it to have a blog! We are glad that you arrived safely, though not timely. Can't wait to hear more about your travels. All is well here. |
| 4th March 2006 Glen | - From: The Adventures of Monica and Phil Had my hair cut yesterday and over heard two men talking.The first said " Sure glad that Runfola is in Africa" The second said "Why"? The first said" Now I have a chance to win some money on the golf course". |
