One of your pictures caught my eye, and I had to go back and re-read your blog about Mabul. I so want to return to Sabah and go dive here! Oh if only money grew on trees!

So thrilled you dusted off your keyboard!
Wow! Great to read your blog again. Keep them coming. Monkey business indeed. We have a good friend in D.C. and overtime someone mentions a monkey he says, those damn monkey's! Not a fan. They always look so inappropriate. Great photos.

Tender or terrors?
Those babes with their little mohawks are so cute, and how funny and adorable when one climbed up to groom you. But yikes, those tales of terror were scary--glad you escaped unscathed.

Awww...
This is so super adorable! :D

Your first blog in four years!!!
I've been looking forward to the day that both you and Ali can get away from Admin duties and reminisce about your travels...or even take new travels. BTW, I hate monkeys. I like gibbons.

How about I call it a monkey hair-do?
Michelle, I enjoyed reading it thoroughly! I don't recall reading your blog before; we always argued in emails, and that's the extent I read your text...why don't you write more? You have a freestyle that grabs a reader! Anyway, enough of pampering! Michelle, I am traveling to Bali in November, any idea where to stay in Ubud...not very expensive, but not a dingy joint either? Any recommendation what to see around,...temples, rice terrace...and oh, I forgot, Monkey Forest. Thank God, I lost most my hair, they will spare me. Any tips would be appreciated. By the way, it's lovely to see you without the scuba mask, never thought I will; that's a bonus :)

Summer Camp ESL
I found your website to be very useful. I am teaching in China and since the school year is coming up, my principal has asked me to prepare a summer camp for our chinese students. I completed some training with some staff from Beijing for a day and we followed similar ESL summer camp games much that you have employed/provided. I still will look up some more on other websites, but I have your website saved as a favorite. -Cameron

Thanks a lot for that comment Michelle, I always appreciate that. Your photos are wonderful as well. If you want travel companions I always like to travel with someone so you can find my contacts on my profile. bye bye

summer camp
Hi, I'm planning for my first ever summer camp and have found your website very useful. I want to do the storyteller with UNO, but I was wondering how you split the kids up, or if they played in pairs or what? I'm going to have at least 25 kids, which I know is a little extra, but wanted to get your input on what worked well for you. Thanks so much, Kelly
