| 27th July 2009 Judy Coghill | fabulous photos - From: puffins and whales Hi Marlene and Ian, I have never seen a live puffin on any of my trips to Newfoundland, so I am envious of your experience and appreciative of your photos. Super photos of the whales too. Love the personalized trip map. I must talk to you about how to do a blog like yours. Great idea! I will also have to get the name and contact info from your for Elaine's B&B! Very pleased you are enjoying so many of my favourite places in Nfld. Gail Aziz (to whom I had given an itinerary) called to further discuss her trip to Nfld in August. She managed to book the last room at Onion Cove for her stay. You must be heading home soon. Enjoy your last days on The Rock! Best, Judy |

I hope you get over to Change Islands too. Enjoy! Judy |

| 20th July 2009 Yola and Garry | hello from Wiarton - From: Down East Great to hear of your continuing travels - this time boatless. Lucky you, for experiencing the concert in Halifax. We are leaving mid-week for our North Shore cruising and will meet our daughters, son-in-law and 2 grandsons up in the Killarney area where we have a cabin rented for a week close to Covered Portage. Hope to do some shore and water activities with them during that time. We do need better weather than we have been having. Cheers, Y & G |
