This baby is going to be so lucky and loved .. and Goddamn GORGEOUS no doubt! a serious cocktail of beautiful genes here .. ! Congrats to you and Duy both ..
Lis!! It all goes back to the transvestite at Allez, loud yelling and a rescue mission at 2:00am by your Duy ..that's when he won me over ..though i think he'd already won you by then..! So happy for youll babe!
Nicest thing EVER ?? Are you tellin' me that in all your years and adventures no Canadian boy ever wrote your name in the snow ?? HA !!!!!!!!! Actually...your name in the dunes is dang spectacular. Claire told me you'd met a boy....so I presume you're not comin' back any time soon then...
Also-- there's a new show on "SPIKE" tv here--called "The Dudesons" It's four guys from Finland--all anmed Jari and Jurki and such--and they spend the entire show falling off of and in to things, breaking bones, crashing cars......Is this an image the Finns want us to have of them I ask....it'd be like having Ricky, Julian and Bubbles represent Canada to a worldwide TV audience.
Very happy to hear/see you so happy!! Just wanted to send some Canadian attitude over.
Give 'er !!!!

Oh my god!! Alisa!!! WHOAH! I can't believe you met this boy (he seems fabulous) AND you're meeting his parents!
Congratulations dear, you deserve all the happiness in the world. Keep updatin' - my 'Nam nostalgia is fierce.
Re: Ode to Esther A truly amazing girl. Anyone associated with her is honored beyond all things that are honorable, lucky beyond all things that are lucky...well, if you knew her you'd understand.

"aaaahhhhhhhheeeek" I think that's the sound I was making on the back of your bike - I love how very serene you look (is that when we were navigating the insane roundabout or going the wrong way down a one way street or swerving to avoid a man, his three toddlers and his giant chicken coop?) The rest of the pics: hot hot hot, and I am especially happy you got a picture of the little guitar man.
Sitting on the 37th floor of the corporate whoredom that is the law firm I work for, I'd give up the world for another go on that little green Vespa. I'm trying to figure out a way to get back there ASAP. Be well, Alisa, and keep living it up!
You're living a good life... Wow... It's just AWSOME!!! You live and enjoy an amazing journey. I'd wish I have a such a wonderful time when I was your age!!! It's wonderful to see different people all over the world enjoy simple life in VN. I left there just over 31 years. Never been back yet, however, I've been reading most of these personal journal and I try to familiar myself with life back in VN. I hope I'll make a trip back to see for myself. Thanks.

Kick ass Aww Alisa, I'm so glad you're keeping up the blog...forget the pop cliches, they'll only ruin your soul. Keep writing, living and kicking ass.
i knew i knew it.. i knew i knew that you would be a 'good writer'.. never loose the naked honesty in your writing.. here's to the dog, the cat and the beach front hottie thirsty for some lemonade ..
you've touched saigon as much as its touched you..
Sweet! Your blog even works in Cambodia although some others are blocked.
So I can still get news from 'home'.
Nice white smile, by the way! ;-)
See you tomorrow.
Cheers,
Sandra
Hey So I tried your email and it doesn't seem to be working, so this may be less personal but more direct. I got your message and was driving so was probably out of range. Nice pictures. Small world eh? So leave a number and the time difference somewhere and I will try you1
Cheers

where do we begin all i can say is amen... i miss these conversations we used to have - hicking on Salt Spring with the dogs and discussing what the world really holds and how to make it a better place for us and at the same time make sure we are happy... i will stop here because if i don't this could go on and on forever...miss you tons and hope when you get back to this country we can once again raise a glass to the joys that we have and are allowed because we live in a country that allows us to live the way we do...Cheers - on a happier note i am thinking that it is time to get another dog...do you really think that a "pug" (think frank the dog from Men in Black) would suit my personality? luv you babe
Wow life changes fast Okay so I arrive back from my jaunt to the South Pacific for 2 months to find that you have taken off and are now in Vietnam... How cool is that. It sounds like you are having an experience of a life time. this short got to go to work now.. will post to you again soon.. K

Tap Dancin' !! G-force !! Loved the nostril shot--I know Petronas--they sponsor motorcycle racers Not sure what they do or make or build--but if they spend mony on racin'...they're fine folk by me.
