love you! hey hunny. Have to say that everytime I read about your travels I feel so happy! You must be having so much fun! Miss you lots and lots! Your pictures are amazing and I cant wait to read your next entery.
green-eyed monster Hey Robin
I have loved gettin your email updates up to this point as now I am back home and it is well exactly as I left it! At least I can't complain about the weather. Anyway sounds like Thailand is a beautiful place perhaps I should go there next. Enjoy yourself for as I have learnt these things pass all too quickly. Have a safe flight home - maybe pop down to Perth before you go? It's right next door :)
love penny
I recognize that view! Had to stop in passing and read your blog as i recognized the view from the shower block of the Old Inn at Bundipaur as soon as i saw it, it is certainly the best view i've ever had from a shower!!! I spent a wonderful Christmas at the Old Inn (2005) and i too was outdone by young and old alike on the winding hill paths, but it's an experience i shall treasure forever.
HI!! Just thought id leave u a comment to say how amazing ur pictures are. u must be having the time of ur life!
and may i just say... well helloooo sexy laydee! hope u dont mind me saying so... as i am female myself! but ur looking good considering most travellers look pants. hehe
Your blog is great and it's been both inspiring and confirming to read... I'm a a fellow Canadian West Coaster headed to South East Asia in a few weeks and I had hoped it might be possible to tie in some travel to India but wasn't sure if I'd have a) the time b) the money c) the courage... Great to know it's both possible and worth it; sure to be something I will check in to. Thanks and best of luck.
Good News What up! I'm going to be kickin it in Thailand starting in mid. Dec. for a month or so... Reading your blog is gettin' me stoked. Just to let you know they are appeciated. Pace!
to clarify... for those who don't know me personally and stumble upon this blog, i am a very sarcastic person, and entries like these should be read with that in mind. friends and family at home are killing themselves laughing at the very thought that i'd be in the same country as some place like ko phangnan and some party like the full moon party and not be right in the middle... most likely dancing on a table. ;) didn't mean to offend anyone!
Wow Robin, your journals are amazing and your pictures even more cause for envy...were these trips found in your birthday travel book? Because if so, send it my way! How unfortunate that I don't even have a camera where I am, though settling down in NYC actually can get mundane. People, lights, buildings, taxis, and sights made familiar by movies can never seem to compare to the beauty of history and nature. Missing our days of restaurant gluttony...Bia
Elitist Hi,
I have spent lots of time in thailand and always struggle with the anger people seem to harbour at the way others are having their holidays. Why are you so morally elite compared to everyone? What are you doing there that is different?
When can i sign up... sounds like a total blast! way more back to nature than singapore, thats for sure. im going to need to plan one of these trips in the near future. hopefully you can give some pointers.
-keep the blogs coming,
rob
Question Hello My name is alysia. I am planning a trip to thailand this time next year. I was wondering, i hear it is rainy season there this time of year. I see in your pic beautiful weather. if you could give me some insight on the weather there that would be great.
My trip will be early Sept 06
I am just thinking of a great western equestrian sport where people in gorgeous dress ride their horses and order them to jump over hazardous obstacles such as high fences and ditches. I remember seeing many of the horses too afraid to follow the commands. Many horses fell to the ground after their failed jumps. There is also the King's sport where people on horseback force their horses to sprint as fast as they can over a distance of several hundred yards. So, please feel Sabai Sabai when you ride on our gentle elephants. We rode them, work with them and went to wars on them over the past 700 years just like westerners do with their horses. Enjoy your stay in Thailand!
Please do not feel bad about riding an elephant. The English still(?) kill foxes for fun. Americans still race dogs and tease bulls at rodeo shows. The Australians kill thousands of kangaroos annually just to preserve them. The Spaniards still brutally sacrifice hapless bulls and horses in their bullrings. So, the Thais riding elephants in jungle treks sounds most civilized to me.
Great blog Your blog is great so keep it up! The pictures are coming out very well although they are so compressed by the blog software that they lose a lot of detail. Your originals should be great for printing photos etc. Hope it is fairly easy to do at the internet cafes.
So trek on and keep having fun! Dad
Nice to hear from you Hi Robin,
Here with Grandma and Grandpa. It was great to get your first blog with pictures!!! It is fantastic! The pictures came through beautifully. Take lots. If you can manage to blog a lot then I don't thin you need to worry about phoning too much although Mom was happy to hear from you. Asia is quite a bit different from Europe, eh? Stay healthy, have fun!
Love Dad Grandpa and Grandma
