| 4th December 2008 TBK | - From: Mekong Delta Hi Aly It's great to hear from you! I am still having a fab time, thanks. It is just difficult getting the time to do it and access to the Internet is a real issue. I will be continuing with it though. It's great to hear from you. Xmas is not far away now! Tx |
| 27th November 2008 Aly | unmentionables - From: Mekong Delta No problem with any other critters, can cope with lizards and pick up mice just things with no legs I can't do! |
| 27th November 2008 Aly | anybody out there! - From: Mekong Delta Hi Hon getting a bit worried as you seem to have disappeared and the world news is not good! I am hoping it is due to a lack of internet access but please shout soon. All is well this end and winter is setting in. Can't wait for the xmas break as I am need of some down time. hope to hear from you soon x |
| 13th November 2008 TBK | - From: Mekong Delta Hi Di As you will find out from my later blogs (when I get round to typing them up) you will see that I am definitely into trying different things at least once. Thanks for keeping in touch. I hope that you are well. Tx |
| 13th November 2008 TBK | - From: Mekong Delta Hi Jane I know that there is a massive gap in my travelblog and where I am at the moment. I am still in Oz at the moment and will be in NZ for Xmas and New Year. I won't be repeating the snake thing in the near future - it's just something that I can tick off some imaginary list! It's great to hear from you. I hope you are okay! Tx |
| 13th November 2008 TBK | - From: Mekong Delta Sorry, Aly! What are you like with photos of crocs and other horrible things that can kill you? |
| 10th November 2008 Di | happy - From: Mekong Delta Hi Teresa Happy to hear from you - and see you so happy in the Mekong Delta - even if with a snake wrapped round your neck - you really look as though you are revelling in it! As you say - you seem to be into experimenting! Take care Love Di |
| 10th November 2008 jane Elliott | OZ.... - From: Mekong Delta Hi Honey Quite a mental leap for me - Vietnam to Australia in one sentence. Did you go to NZ? Are you still planning to do Galapagos and Easter Island? You don't look as though you are really enjoying the snake - but very brave of you for trying. Keep up the good work. J. xxx |
| 7th November 2008 Aly | eek an unmentionable - From: Mekong Delta As soon as I saw the name of unmentionables I knew I would not be able to look at your photos, you should have headed the blog 'don't look Aly'! I've come over all funny even thinking about it |
| 6th November 2008 TBK | - From: Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Hey Di! No, there isn't a chapter missing. Have I missed something out? There are lots of things to come but getting around to typing it is the problem! I will get it done - promise! Tx |
| 6th November 2008 TBK | - From: Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Hi Aly I am so far behind because it is difficult and expensive getting Internet access. I want to get it up to date but it is sooo difficult. I would need a couple of days solid to do that. Your house must be looking good now! Miss you too. Keep in touch! Tx |
| 4th November 2008 Di | august - From: Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) hello good to hear and I'm unsure of what's happened since I last heard! There seems to be a chapter missing.. It's good to hear your comments, and that you've got so adept at negotiating your way round - and I love the look for the post office! What's next, I wonder? dixx |
| 4th November 2008 Aly | hi - From: Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) was getting a bit worried we hadn't heard from you. It is sad that people are always on the make and seem to think you have loads of money! I can understand your not liking the cities. The dates on your blogs are still a long way behind which I don't understand!! We are in November and you are still in August. All is ticking over here, had a weekend in France and bought the staircase, will collect it later this month! Still miss you hon, keep safe hugs Aly |
| 4th November 2008 TBK | - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! Hi Jane Majorca - fab! It doesn't matter where you go if it had the desired effect and at least you will have had good weather for a week. I wish I could get my blog up to date but that seems highly unlikely. I am in Australia now so the Internet (and everything else for that matter) is really expensive compared to Asia. Keep in touch, Txxx |
| 4th November 2008 TBK | - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! Hi Ray Yeap, you're right and if I can manage my budget well enough then I have another 6 months - yipppeeee!!! |
| 31st October 2008 Jane Elliott | ABOUT TIME.... - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! Hi Hon. Just got back from a week in Majorca (bit tame compared to your locations) at a hotel filled with Spanish OAPs. Its about time you had some fun specially after what you saw in your previous blog! It must have been good to let your hair down for a bit. See from the comments you are in Malaysia now, can't wait for your blogs to catch up. Take care. J. xxx |
| 30th October 2008 Ray Greene | - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! But what a time you are having eh! |
| 30th October 2008 TBK | - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! Hi Ray! I had a feeling that you might do something like that and I think it is a great idea! I will have finished my travels by then :( |
| 29th October 2008 Ray Greene | I knowww!!!!! - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! I know! The people in Malaysia are incredible. I have made the decision to take a year (at least!) out and start travelling as well. I'm planning on heading straight back to Malaysia next June and then taking it from there. I'll be in touch to get some recommendations before the time! Keep up the movin and a shakin! Hugs. Ray. |
| 15th October 2008 TBK | - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! It really was time to move on. I have had some fab experiences since then that i wouldn't have had if I had stayed in the one place. I only managed to get to KL and Malacca in Malaysia because of limited time. I would definitely go back to Malaysia because the people were soooooo nice! |
| 15th October 2008 TBK | - From: Phnom Penh Hi Di! I read a book recently that was written by someone who experienced the regime first hand when she was a child. It was a chilling read, especially as I had been to those places. Tx |
| 14th October 2008 Ray | uhum uhummm - From: Sihanoukville - a beach, at last!!! I met a really nice English guy and I had to move on!!! Where's all the juicy bits I've been waiting for? and did you make it to Langkawi? and did you meet Din on Centai Penang???? Keep up the adventures! Ray |
| 14th October 2008 di | mind blowing - From: Phnom Penh Teresa The atrocities in Cambodia were simply ghastly genocide, as I understand it. The capacity of the individual for such murderous impulses is appalling. You are indeed courageous in confronting and re-membering the almost unimaginable suffering of those who were so cruelly treated. Take care. lol dix |
| 10th October 2008 TBK | - From: Siem Reap - the jewel of Cambodia (oh yes, it really is!) Hi Jane Thanks for letting me know. It definitely sounds like you have made the right decision. Please do keep in touch and let me know how you are. I am in Malaysia on my way to Singapore because I have a flight to Bali on 14 Oct. I am thinking of you. Love Txxx |
| 8th October 2008 Jane Elliott | WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO GO..... - From: Siem Reap - the jewel of Cambodia (oh yes, it really is!) Hi Teresa Just thought I would let you know that I have decided to leave SCA and will be going just before Christmas. It was a hard decision made a lot easier by the fact that I am feeling so tired at the moment and, as I still have more chemo to come, it ain't going to get any better. Will still follow your adventures from my home laptop though. How are you and where are you???? J. xxxx |
| 1st October 2008 TBK | - From: Siem Reap - the jewel of Cambodia (oh yes, it really is!) Hi Jane! Angkor Wat really is amazing and you probably did recognise some of the locations. I am really enjoying the opportunity of meeting up with some great people. It makes all the difference. It also means that I don't have to keep talking to myself! I hope that you are feeling okay. Love Tx |
| 30th September 2008 Jane Elliott | AMAZING - From: Siem Reap - the jewel of Cambodia (oh yes, it really is!) Hi Teresa. Ankor Wat looks amazing - I saw Tomb Raider and can definitely spot some of the locations (well, I think I can). I am so glad you keep meeting up with nice people - it must be good to occasionally have company on your travels. Take care honey. J. xxx |
| 29th September 2008 TBK | - From: Siem Reap - the jewel of Cambodia (oh yes, it really is!) Hey Di! It really is good. These girls were great - very easy-going. I love the fact that I am meeting some really great people as well as seeing some amazing things. It really does enhance the experience. Tx |
| 28th September 2008 Di | lovely to see - From: Siem Reap - the jewel of Cambodia (oh yes, it really is!) the Indonesian girls look great, and you seem a really relaxed trio! It's lovely the way you can meet people and then just move on and someone else enters the space! Great going Teresa Love Di |
| 17th September 2008 TBK | - From: Kratie to Banlung Hi Jo I think I went a bit mad when I first arrived in Cambodia. I did slow down a bit after that. I hope that all is well with you, Tx |
| 17th September 2008 TBK | - From: Kratie to Banlung Hi Helen I will definitely be going to Perth so I will have to get that info off you nearer the time. Thanks for keeping in touch, Tx |
| 17th September 2008 TBK | - From: Kratie to Banlung Hi Ray Good idea! I will try that one. Tx |
| 16th September 2008 Jo Creed | - From: Kratie to Banlung Hi Tre - Wow you certainly are packing it in, dolphins, beautiful waterfalls and an elephant ride. Amazing, & it's great that we can see the piccies. Thank you. I would have freaked big time if I saw a rat. So glad you were able to get to another guesthouse - you wouldn't have got any sleep. Looking forward to the next update. Take care Jo xx |
| 16th September 2008 Helen McC | Dolphins - From: Kratie to Banlung Just enjoying reading your latest travel update. Reminded me of swimming with the wild dolphins in Perth. Was fantastic. As you say, seeing them in their natural environment is something very special. If you get to Perth I'll have to give you details of the company I went with who actually monitor the dolphins welfare. Well done for telling the boy to be nicer to the ellie. I'd be the same. Looking forwrad to the next update. x |
| 16th September 2008 Ray | top tip - From: Kratie to Banlung Hi Teresa, One thing that I decided to resort to was when guys like the one who followed you decided to latch on or asked me if I travelled alone, I would tell them my boyfriend was sick in bed that day. They find it so wierd that anyone would travel alone not to mind a GIRL! Tssh! The waterfalls look gorgeous. Keep the stories coming! Cheers. Ray. |
| 10th September 2008 TBK | - From: Cambodia - ready or not, here I come! Hi Aly! True. Enjoy France and thanks for the extra hugs. I do need them at times. Tx |
| 9th September 2008 Aly | just checking in - From: Cambodia - ready or not, here I come! Hi Hon so now Cambodia is trying to cope with you! Do be careful now you are on your own again. Seems like this accomodation is luxury, TV whatever next! I have just come home from Gothenburg, I had a meeting at our head office. All very interesting but not as good as your travels!Thursday evening I am off to France for 2 weeks, can't wait but I won't be able to read your blogs. I will have to send extra hugs today. as always, take care Aly |
| 8th September 2008 TBK | - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Hi travel buddy! I am glad that you can verify the accuracy of my blog and glad that it brings back good memories. It's brilliant typing it up after the event because it brings back all the wonderful memories and feelings I had at the time. I just wish I was more up-to-date with them! Tx |
| 8th September 2008 TBK | - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Hi Jane. Dondet was fabulous. I definitely wanted to stay on. That is one place that I would love to return to...preferably with a gorgeous man! Hope you are okay. Txx |
| 8th September 2008 TBK | - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Hi Di! It's so good to hear from you. I loooooved SE Asia - especially Laos. I am definitely stepping out of my western shell! Tx |
| 8th September 2008 Ray | Wow! - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Hiya, Sitting at home reading about your travels, I find it hard to believe I was so lucky to be doing that too. You write very well dear and it is totally accurate! especially the bit about me being a 'good gal, very perceptive and speaks her mind'. Yup, that means I'm sickly sweet and get myself into all kinds of trouble. Your photos are great too. I must send you on a few that I took..hmm. I'll work it out! Tog de bog e (take it easy in Irish) and looking forward to reading about Cambodia, Vietnam and China! Ray. |
| 5th September 2008 Jane Elliott | BEEYOOTIFUL - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Oh Teresa. Dondet is lovely and the idea of lazing in a hammock watching the sun come up over the Mekong sounds just ideal. It really seems to be a small world for travellers - and I love the sound of the guy who has been travelling for 10 years. And why not? Good to see a pic of the teddies and the bunn. Wondered how they were getting on. Obviously, you have moved on but did you feel a little bit tempted by the idea of staying on in Dondet? Can't wait for the next installment. Lots of love Jane xx |
| 4th September 2008 Di | sunrise on the Mekong - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Oh I know just the sort of place where you are staying! I'm so pleased you are enjoying SE Asia! Isn't the Mekong amazing?! It's great to see that you are really relaxing into it and enjoying the experience - stepping out of your western shell! Take care Love Dixx |
| 4th September 2008 TBK | - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Hi Aly It's great for me to keep the blog because I am travelling alone. I think it really helps. The only problem is that I am still 6 weeks behind. I have been to Cambodia, Vietnam and now I am in China! I just can't seem to catch up. Enjoy your bit of paradise! Miss you all too, T xxx |
| 4th September 2008 TBK | - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! Hi Na! Indiana Bunny is a little bit dirty now but he doing fine. Miss you too! Tx |
| 4th September 2008 Aly | another great read - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! You are really giving me a flavour of what you experiencing and it makes great reading. Bit confused about the dates though as your blogs are still dated July. I assume you are now in Cambodia. Summer is nearly over here and it has been a complete washout! We are all desperate for some sunshine! I am off to my bit of paradise next Thursday (11/09) for 16 days and cannot wait. Abi is off to China tomorrow, it seems to have come around so quickly. Life plods on at SCA, no major events to report. 6 new starters joined us on Monday! It will be a lively induction course! We still miss you, lots of Hugs Aly |
| 4th September 2008 Naomi | Amazing! - From: My first taste of Paradise in SE Asia - lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it! How cool does this place look!!! And indiana Bunny is still travelling well i see!!!! happy travels!! Miss you lots xx |
| 2nd September 2008 TBK | - From: Why, oh, why are things never easy? Hi Jane! It's quite an eye-opener! I couldn't agree more about S. America. Thanks for continuing to read my blogs, Tx |
| 2nd September 2008 TBK | - From: Seen one waterfall, seen them all, right? Hi Ray! It is sooo good to hear from you. We did have such a fab time. These blogs are great because I get to re-experience the whole thing when typing up my diary notes. I miss my fellow traveller; come back!!! I hope that you're not too hectic having returned to work. Keep in touch, Tx |
| 2nd September 2008 Jane Elliott | YOU'VE DONE SO MUCH - From: Why, oh, why are things never easy? Hi Hon. I love reading your blog - you are doing so much that the rest of us wouldn't dare!! Loved the waterfall day and the bed bus, amazing what other cultures take as norm that we are probably horrified by. Sounds as though you are right in deciding not to linger in Oz but get to South America - there's got to be more to see and do there than in the Land of the Long White Cloud. Take of yourself and keep up the blogging. J xxxx |
