Will miss your blogs
Still can't get used to the idea that the Sooze News from Shanghai is not going to be showing up in my inbox every week. After reading your last blog (that is, the one before this "last blog"), I was thinking of that same most memorable event, your trudging through the flood to get your kids, as the early-on blog that signaled that the writer was no ordinary "tourist" but a true adventurer, willing to take on the un-safe, the un-pleasant, the un-expected, and then laugh about it with her readers...you have not disappointed us on that score, Suzanne. To all the Slavens...Enjoy your homecoming!

Sorry to see you go
We also live in Shanghai and I have enjoyed reading your blogs and getting your insight of our lives here in Shanghai. I would love to know the names of your Mexican restaurant and also know the name of the mall where the "Dunkin Dumplings" are located. My grandchildren ages 5,8, and 10 will arrive here this evening, and as we have no children here, I have really appreciated hearing about yours. Have a great trip home, and I wish you many more adventures!

Thanks!
Thanks for your wonderful blogging! I first found your blog and contacted you about a year ago when we were first coming to the Shanghai area. My daughter and I have been back and forth every 2 months and returned a few weeks ago. I just thought of checking your blog to see what you had done new - you're a fantastic resource for great things to do with children - and what a surprise to see you are leaving! I guess we will not have a chance to meet in person, but I'm so thankful for the time you've spent writing about Shanghai. I'm sure I will continue working through your blog entries until I've read them all. (I might just have to talk my husband into Phuket!) Have a wonderful trip back home, Linda Walsh/covemom

Ah, going home...
Thanks for sharing these past two years with us, Suzanne!! As always, your current blog captures the energy and pace of the moment. You sound so appropriately rushed...and excited. Enjoy your last "lasts" and have a smooth trip home.

How perfect!
I can tell from the pictures that this was a fabulous Slaven holiday. And I'm glad to know, reading your previous comment, Suzanne, that you might continue blogging after you get home. Surely more adventures await you in Evanston...or anywhere. After two years of writing about your experiences, how will you ever be able to do anything funny or harrowing or remarkable and not blog about it?

not quite yet...
Not the last blog...just getting ready to finish "this" blog. This blog feels like it needs to end after we are back and settled or at least back...and then who knows. Perhaps another blog about finding adventure back home.

Pass that woman a s'more!
You are a real trooper, Suzanne...doing under-the-bus unloading duty, keeping track of the runaways, and going without s'mores. Great pictures from the Girl Scout trip! Love the fruit shopper story...yay Emily. I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of Emily reading Photochemistry and Photobiological...too funny!! Enjoy your last month in Shanghai. People magazine awaits.

I really loved your post and photos! I remember those photo booths in the subway, from when I was in Korea! My blog is looking for travel photos, stories, reviews (like any interesting foods, or your experience at the World Expo! ;) , etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email us at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Enjoy your last bit of time there! Heather :)

Great blog! Weather looks good there. Thanks for all the pictures...and captions. Love "Great views while lost". The photo of you getting help is just how I imagined it. What's a "loogie hocking"? Chicago term?

Surgery...
Well, if they removed your thing the same way they removed Ben's birthmark when he was 3, I can tell you exactly what happened. It was kind of gross and definitely bloody. But then they pulled good skin over the hole, stitched it up and he just has a bit of a scar. Hope you get good results from your test!
