Thanks for sharing!! Hi Heather!
Miss you in NY! Hope you are enjoying Zurich and your new job! What wonderful pictures and details of your experiences, all of them. Thank you for bringing the world to those of us not lucky enough to have witnessed them first-hand.
Jill and I are still contemplating a trip to Zurich to visit you :)

Thanks for a great tour! Guys! Thanks so much for sharing your extraordinary adventures. It was truly a delight and joy to read and view the marvelous pictures! Thanks again, and all the best in Zurich! Vince
The final travel blog ? No way ! Dear Heather Lee,
I just turned on my computer and, to my pleasant surprise, there was another e-mail from you. So, as I always do, I set up my Microsoft Word to accept your e-mailed blog and copied it into the format that I have used to save your now 26 travel blogs, which I then print and send to Aunt Greta and Uncle Joe. -- But what I received and copied was shy of even one double-columned page. I couldn believe my eyes. And then your words hit home. This was all! Nothing more.... Not even some more photos from Hong Kong?!
We arm-chair travelers have looked forward to and enjoyed each of your travel blogs, Heather Lee. Our appetite has been piqued -- for more . . . . -- about Switzerland, whatever. Your writing skills have been honed; don let rust set in by inactivity. Do give more and more to us, your faithful readers and viewers. Do say youll give us some hope that youll at least reconsider putting down your camera and pen / keyboard. Kudos for what youve done with your travel blog! There are weekends of experiences to share with us. Please do.
Love and Best Wishes from all of us, including me,
Aunt Joan
P.S. Today we are having our first snowflakes of the season. The temp is 39 degrees F, so, hopefully, they won stick. I can bear the thought of an early AND long winter . . . Yuck! -- I am an avid gardener and Stan and I enjoy frequent walks at the Flume in NHs Franconia Notch.

Left Vietnam HI Tom,
Greetings from Zurich/Switzerland. Our blog is a bit lagging our movement :). We are currently in Switzerland and Heather has started a job. Any plans to come to Germany and pay us a visit in Switzerland?
What an adventure What an adventure. I hope that you have stopped at every postoffice and picked up new issue stamps and will stop in lincoln city, oregon and drop them off in person. Hope to see you both when you get back to the states. Tom
Natural wonders . . . Hello, Heather Lee and Florian!
Such natural wonders interspersed with significant culture, but, alas, singed with regretable history -- and yet the people go on . . . .
Thank you for helping us see and understand. We await more sharing....
Love and Best Wishes,
Aunt Joan
Unending . . . Hello, Heather and Florian!
We are happy that you are continuing to share your wonderful travel ventures. Please keep on telling us of your travels and sharing your unbelievable photos. What experiences! What memories!
Love,
Aunt Joan
She is kicking me!! Hi Juliana, at least one person who understands this picture and the whole situation!
Hope you two are doing fine in Sing, we miss you!!
Florian
Wondeful! Heather, you are a born writer. Your vivid descriptions and photos are fantastic. You must write on travel. I am still trying to find something to praise Wolfgang, but I am sure he was very valuable to you in carrying your writing pads and pencils!
Cambodia Heather and Florian, such beauty tainted by such horrors! What you have seen is certainly short-changed by the history books. The people show that life must go on. Our hearts go out to these resilient people! -- Echoing the sentiments of others, you should think seriously about sharing your travel experiences with more than just us, your family and friends.
-- Copies of your "Burma/Myanmar" and "Cambodia" TravelBlogs are off to Florida in time for the Aug 6th Wedding Anniversary of Aunt Greta and Uncle Joe.
Best Wishes from Stan and me, Aunt Joan
When is the book coming out? Hi there, once again phenomenal! When is the book coming out, I could see your photos on my coffee table! Miss you both - luv jj
PS - One question - did Heather escape the Jail cell??
Money and crickets Your story about the perfect money made me laugh! When trying to change money at the airport in Tunisia many moons ago, the bank official tore my $100 bill in half, then taped it back together before handing it back to me, saying it was fake and that I could not exchange it there.
But, seriously . . . fried crickets? I try to be open and adventurous and all that, but that is pretty gross.
Spanning the miles . . . So THIS is the country our local Thai restaurant owners came from! Exotic!
And, as the world seems to grow smaller, thanks to your travels and your travel blogs, Heather Lee, so your plans, as we understand them, will keep you spanning the global miles, visiting more blog sites AND the USA before zooming to Zurich for a new episode in your life.... How exciting!
Love and Best Wishes,
Aunt Joan
Surreal . . . Each episode of your travel blog seems more surreal than the previous. Your Thai blog was so meaningful to us as our favorite New Hampshire restaurant is run by a young couple from Thailand. We oftern order crab rangoon (Poo Jar) and chicken soup for appetizers, Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mow) and Avacado Curry with shrimp and scallops in a coconut-milk based greem curry (respecively, Stan's and my favorite entres), tapioca pudding with coconut milk for dessert, and Thai tea to sip. Hm-m-m! And now your Burma / Myanmar blog to top all others! -- Thanks for continuing to share your surreal ventures! -- Aunt Joan
Jealous but I still learn! Hello guys! While I get thoroughly jealous reading your blogs and seeing the amazing pictures (I think you should have a coffee table book) I somehow still learn something! Thanks for the entertainment and the teachings! JJ
PS enjoy Honkers and Happy Birthday again to Florian!! And a big congrats to you both for your next step!
Wonderful pictures Its 10 o'clock pm here (cold and rainy as well) and I look at your beautiful Buddha pictures. Tomorrow I will show them to Linus and Leonie so that they can see this wonderful and unknown God! I would have been interested to learn more about your experience with the monchs?! So I hope to get some updating via phone soon!
Take care,
Carlotta
Love the photos! As usual the photos are wonderful and also inspiring! I HAVE TO GET THERE!!
Also thanks for the postcard! So sweet!! we loved seeing you so very much - let us know when you are coming through again - hint hint!! j
Ihr Lieben 2, seit 255 Tagen seid Ihr nun travelling around the´world, ich bewundere Euch und Eure travelgugs. Könnte ich doch in eurer Hosentasche mitfliegen- ich hab gerade "Malaysia" gelesen unhd bin mal wieder total begeistert- was Ihr schreibt, und was Ihr erlebt. Weiter so! With love-Corinna.
Greetings from Mozambique Na ihr Lieben, danke für die ausführlichen Reisebeschreibungen, da kann man ja nur neidisch werden!!!! Ich wohne übrigens nicht mehr in Vilankulo, sondern bin weiter in den Süden gezogen und zwar nach Inhambane. Dort hab ich mich von einer deutschen Consulting GmbH unter Vertrag nehmen lassen und wurstel jetzt in einem Infrastrukturbauvorhaben der KfW rum. Ist sehr spannend, nur leider werden meine Augen immer schlechter, wegen der vielen Zahlen. Lasst bald wieder von euch hoeren.
LG
Sven
Meine Kinder in Singapore Also, es ist unbeschreiblich, Euch in Singapore zu wissen und den tollen Bericht zu lesen. Ich verfolge Eure Reise auf meinem alten Diercke-Schulatlas und weiß genau Bescheid. Heather schreibt ganz tolle Kommentare- Floris Bilder sind auch nicht schlecht. Ich freue mich jetzt schon wieder auf neue Nachrichten, später laßt Ihr sie binden und schenkt sie mir zu Weihnachten. Alles Liebe-Mami.
