| 21st December 2009 Dianne Arcand Lavoie | Merry Christmas - From: Merry Christmas So enjoyed reading your post. I am sure you are missing your boys this Christmas, and the boys, I hope, will have a wonderful time, but will miss Mom and Dad, I am sure. Thanks for keeping in touch during Rick's adventure... and I do not want either of you to start playing bridge and other old folk related activites! Keep up the fun stuff, and you will deal with whatever happens!!! Oh, and by the way, Gail, green is your colour.... you look awesome! China is agreeing with you! Hugs to both of you, have a Blessed and Peace Filled Christmas...... Dianne. |
| 20th December 2009 John AInsworth | Season's Greeting - From: Merry Christmas Greetings of the Season form Surf side - Saint John NB. I'm surprised, to say the least, at the turn of events for Rick... good to hear he is hopping back into action... still has the spunk that I admired him for back at X. Rick and Gail's your awesome adventures sure are impressive. Gail looking good in the dress .. Rick maybe something a little more conservative next time though...Cool looking couple. All the best of the Season and with your continuing adventures. |
| 19th December 2009 Lynn Page-Scott | Fantastic - From: Merry Christmas Merry Christmas, I am so happy that you guys took the plunge and set off on what has turned out to be an awesome adventure! There is so much to see and do in our world and so few take advantage of it. I am learning quite a bit about China through your experiences, too bad we aren't still studying China in social. Have a wonderful Christmas and a terrific New Year! Keep on blogging! |
| 19th November 2009 Richard & Buff | Easy Riding - From: Motorcycle Hi Gail & Rick, Sounds like you're having a great time - with work, travel, learning about the culture and riding your new motorcycle. What adventures! We're envious of all the new experiences you're having, especially being able to get involved with the local people, visit villages and interact with people on a daily basis. Loved Rick in his motorcycle helmet with the fur collar. Gail, you'll have to learn to drive. So what type of bike did you get? How big is the engine? What brand is it? Keep the photos, annotations and emails coming. They're wonderful. Take care and keep having so much fun. Love, Richard & Buff |
| 17th November 2009 Lynn | Greetings from PR - From: Fairy's trip Hi Gail and Rick, Funny, I was just thinking of you guys when low and behold I get this e-mail from you. Thanks for sharing your trip. It looks like you guys are really learning a lot about China and its people. Keep on sending your blog, it is very interesting. Sure wish we were still studying China, these pictures and comments are so informative. Take care and stay in touch! |
| 16th November 2009 John Ainsworth | Along for the ride... - From: Motorcycle Just finished going along for the ride on your most recent adventures... would like to see a classic easy rider pic of you and Gail on the motorcycle..they didn't have any Harley's I gather... |
| 22nd October 2009 Lori and Patrick | Wow, we're amazed! - From: Yangtze River Cruise - Day 5 Keep the updates coming, we're so amazed by all your adventures! Your pictures are great and give us an idea of what you are seeing - we love reading about it too. We often think of you two and how you're doing. It's so neat seeing the people and culture from a Peace Riverite's perspective. Love the blog! |
| 4th October 2009 John Ainsworth | Awesome stuff - From: Yangtze River Cruise - Day 5 Incredible adventure. One of my tenants, a Richard Oland, of the Oland brewing family, had made that trip several years ago. I spent a couple of hours as he showed me a multitude of pics he had taken on the voyage. So I have seen some incredible detailed photos of what you saw and experienced....and I think boating on the Saint John and Kennebecasis Rivers are mystical experiences... Really appreciate being included in your travel log... Nice to hear all about your incredible adventures in China. All the best |
| 17th September 2009 Jo | Congratulations on your new life - From: Our First Week in China Am really enjoying following your China saga and thanks for posting the photos, which really expand the experience. Jo |
| 11th September 2009 Diana | :0) - From: Trip with Thomas i passed a 3 wheeled truck almost identical to the one here, yesterday evening in GP. it was new, and very noisy. Minnie and Mickey look different from how i remember them. i'd love to walk the aquaduct.... or the great wall.... what adventures you're having! it's very definitely autumn here. the leaves are just beginning to transform, and the nights are chilly. i took a walk in the bush last weekend. the air was rich with cranberry smell. |
| 10th September 2009 Rhonda & Gary | happy adventures - From: Our First Week in China Gail & Rick, love the travel updates and photos. You are in the midst of a great adventure! We are having our own little adventure here at home, with 3 sets of little feet to enjoy. Mara started school today... so far, so good. Riley is totally loving being a big sister, and baby Scott eats and sleeps.... Happy travels! |
| 7th September 2009 Diana Strid | it has begun! - From: Our First Week in China you're there! and finding your place in all of it. very exciting, and, i'm guessing, a tad daunting at times. the kitchen is a big change from its beautiful equivalent in PR. how will you cook those international dinners now?! ;0) but though it's small, i feel certain there's always something to share with a visiting neighbor or a new friend. Chinese beer, perhaps? i love the photos. do you have a mailing address yet? |
| 3rd September 2009 Gladys | Hello - From: Our First Week in China Great to have the blog, nice to see where you are at, it does seem very exciting. This week at work is much quieter than last week, starting to get back into the groove. Have fun and take care. |
| 30th August 2009 DIane | wow! - From: Our First Week in China Wow! What great pictures. Sure makes me appreciate my "small" kitchen. I love the market. I frequent ours every sat. so that would be one of my favourite spots. I'm looking forward to the next blog. |
