| 14th October 2009 Cousin Rob | Sounds great! - From: 1 Year Anniversary in Phuket Hi Thai Dixons, Looks like a fantastic time. And congratulations on your first year! Many blessings, Rob, Amy and the crew |
| 7th March 2009 mataho | Congrats... - From: Wedding Hi! Congratulations. Beautiful wedding pics... I've followed your blog ever since your first trip to Thailand in '05-06?. In fact, you were part of my inspiration to visit southern Thailand back in '06 (my first trip) -- Trang town specifically -- which I have done many times as I have good friends there. Interestingly enough, I've now lived here for three years...and have made 11 trips back and forth to America! Your story -- and your wife's -- was (is) fun to follow...thanks for sharing it. I have a good friend who is the head of the English Dept. at Bangkok Christian School. If you ever want to connect with him send me an e-mail. Chok dee & Sawasdee khup! |
| 16th August 2008 Janice | Wedding and more - From: Wedding Plans Had a great trip with your folks. Of course, you and Saai were much on our minds. Looking forward to a California celebration. Keep that in your plans. Congratulations to you both. |
| 14th August 2008 Rob | Holy Cow - From: Wedding Plans How sad I am that I won't be at your wedding!!! I was going to have mom and dad send me out there but we have a baby due at the end of Sept. Congrats to you and Saai and we'll hope to see you both soon. Blessings, R and A. |
| 4th August 2008 ecs | malate - From: Philippines sorry about the snatchers, good thing you got your money back. I frequent the starbucks branch there. Next time you drop by malate you should try Cafe Adriatico, near bistro Remedios. Good food as well. |
| 31st July 2008 Klopps | thanks - From: Wedding Plans for the update! We were just wondering about you last night. Enjoy the big day. :) |
| 25th June 2008 mizz | Makati - From: Farewell to the Philippines I will be looking forward for your next posts... It is true that Makati is far better than Malate. I just hope more foreign travelers book their hotels in the Makati area to avoid disappoint with Malate or Manila. :) |
| 25th June 2008 mizz | Boracay - From: Sticking Around I enjoy reading your blog... I am glad you liked Boracay... I myself fell in love with the place. http://vitzy.net/forum/Boracay-One-Of-The-World-s-Top-10-Beaches-t760.html |
| 14th April 2008 dog gone | When in Trang.. - From: Halong Bay ...you might want to check out the Tha Trang Collection...it's a nice little jewelry and gift shop one shop in from the corner just north of the Clock Tower (walk past the book store). You can find something nice for your fiancee there. The woman who owns it is very nice and she speaks English very well...check it out. |
| 2nd April 2008 Glenn | Congratulations!! - From: Ko Samui Revisited Dave, Thought I would check and see if you had any entries lately. What an entry!! Congratulations to you and Saai! I am very happy for you both, and you look so happy and content. Life is looking good! Glenn |
| 31st March 2008 dbaird | - From: Honk Honk Hanoi Glad you're seeing the world - Also glad you got to see the UCLA games - we missed having you with us in Anaheim (sent you a picture) - the game won in the last nine seconds was electrifying. Congrats on the engagement. Thanks for the updates - we think of you often. db |
| 29th March 2008 stephanie | look straight ahead... - From: Honk Honk Hanoi Our street crossing advice for the streets in the old part of town, which actually worked, was to look straight ahead while crossing casually, and the bikes & motorbikes will avoid you. We didn't try it, however, on the bigger streets if we saw a car or bus approaching. (Yikes!) Try not to miss going to a park early in the morning (sorry) so you can see all the different kinds of exercise taking place. We also found the war museum interesting. Great pixs, Saai is lovely. Love, Stephanie |
| 28th March 2008 Heather | UCLA - From: Honk Honk Hanoi Glad that you were able to see the UCLA game! It wasn't the best game for Western Kentucky but the at least close the gap a little towards the end! Darrell and I also watched the UNC game. We won! Sweet. Hope that you are able to catch more games in the next couple of days! I totally forgot that you would have to get up early to see the game! Remember when we were all in Thailand for the Superbowl? Had to get up early for that too! Think I like watching the games from the states more! Not a fan of that whole getting up early thing:) Have a good one!~Heather |
| 28th March 2008 Heather | Yeah! - From: Ko Samui Revisited I am so happy to finally see the blog again! Like I said before congrats on your engagement! I am so glad that your parents were able to go over to Thailand to meet Saai. AND to go to my favorite island...! I hope they enjoyed it! Thanks for the flood of memeories. I will have to pull my photo album off the self and look through it again. Look forward to more blogs!~Heather |
| 28th March 2008 dog gone | Italian Restaurant - From: Honk Honk Hanoi There's a really good Italian restaurant just across from the cathedral between the Spanish tapas place and the French Bakery. I know it's Viet Nam, but this place is really good...and cheaper than most of the good Italian place in BKK. |
| 26th March 2008 Sandra | - From: Ko Samui Revisited Dave! This is amazing! I've been following your love story and finally the marriage comes! Love without borders!^^ Congratulations! |
| 14th March 2008 jed | hi! - From: Farewell to the Philippines how i wish i could travel as much as you do... :] i'll be looking forward to your next destinations. take care! :] |
| 12th February 2008 Michelle | Not enough to stay in Malaysia? - From: Farewell Malaysia Hi Dave, I know it's 2008 now, but I bumped into your blog as I was doing some net surfing on Koh Lipe. :) Somewhat, I felt the urge to post a comment to you about you commenting on my country Malaysia. There ARE plenty to see if you stay long enough. So many towns and islands you've yet to discover, as from what I read in your entry, you've only been to like 3 places??? You have not checked out the wonderful gems on our east coast, what about the Borneo? Just a short note to share with you. Trust me that you've seen nothing yet if you've only been to Ipoh, Penang and Langkawi and made that comment. In fact, I've just came back from Langkawi myself. Well, all in all..to each his own. Perhaps Malaysia just isn't your cup of tea. Cheers. |

| 12th July 2007 Eric | - From: The weekend market of weekend markets Your a brave soul....street vendor and eating are not to be associated. Keep up the blog. I usually check in once a week. Glad all is well and tell Saai hello. Your new closing should be There gone Dave. |
| 11th July 2007 Jim rak Thai | Experience of a Lifetime - From: Thailand tidbits... Dave, this article sounded a little more like a tourist than a resident, so I assume you've just made your move. There are no words to describe the spiritual side of living in Thailand and learning the Thai ways. I lived there for eight years and my dream is to return one day. As a resident, you should explore the less touristy parts of the country. I highly recommend Isaan. The northeastern people are the gentlest and most hospitable. If you visit in an Isaan home, you will be served food. It is best to ask no questions on those occasions. The best way to visit Isaan is to go with a friend who is from there. I envy all the neat experiences you will be having. |
