| 12th April 2009 Glenn and Di | delicious! - From: Hanoi - first stop in Vietnam Hi After reading this we're wishing we came with you Hmm maybe next time Those road rules or lack of seem to work well Now just have to educate the balance of the Perth drivers and podes to think the same way Love Glenn and Di |
| 11th April 2009 Richard & Jennifer | Glad you finally made it!!! - From: Hanoi - first stop in Vietnam Hanoi traffic can be quite a shock. Glad you finally made it. Wish that you had let us know, Jennifer's niece could have met you and made your arrival a little smoother. If you return to Hanoi from Sapa, we suggest that you eat at the LaSalsa which is close to the Catholic Church about one block behind the ANZ bank. We were in Hanoi last November, and it's changed a lot since we lived there ten years ago. Enjoy your trip and let us know if we can assist it any way. |
| 8th April 2009 Thelma | Singapore - From: On the way! You seemed to have packed a lot into your visit to Singapore. I was happy to hear the Cable car ride over to Sentosa wasn't worth the money.....'cause I would have loved to have done it when Liz and I were there,but Liz doesn't like heights. The Arab area looked interesting too.Enjoyed all the pics., looking forward to seeing more. Hot here today, in the 30s. |

| 27th August 2008 Michelle Williams | Sounds wonderful - From: Nullagine Hi guys Loved reading your blog and checking out the photos. I have really enjoyed the descriptions of the adventures in and out of the classroom. We are currently remote too - in Pormpuraaw as we speak doing Internet training for managers of new public access facilities plus doing awareness raising workshops for community folk. Just a ball. We will have to swap travel stories next year. Still planning a 2009 trip west. Some of it may be to the Kimberly to continue this project. Michelle |

Only got 3 out of 4 IWB's working. There is something wrong with the 4th. The woman is coming up on the 21st and bringing a controller with her - whatever that is! love ya J |
| 4th August 2008 Mum | The Red Earth - From: Two weeks in Marble Bar Am enjoying reading about you experience at Marble Bar.It all sounds so different to "City Life"! The soil is very red, isn't it ? Have you found much bull-dust up there? Dreadful stuff !!How often do you wash the car?? It's good to see that the locals are looking after their land so well, they have such an affinity with it, don't they ?? Looks like it will be "Hello" and "Goodbye" when you arrive home. Holidays beckon ! Hope your able to get the IBW working tomorrow. It was great talking to you, love Mum |
