I know what you mean..... We've had quite a few people pass away lately or are quite ill (family, friends, clients, colleagues). I do the same and throw words about like they don't have a deeper meaning - I know that sometimes I really need to stop and think before I speak. You're right on the mark !!!!
"no regrets" Hi Ty and Rebecca
What a thought provoking blog you sent us on Thanksgiving day.
We are often too busy being thankful for a lot of things that aren't really
important
and you blog say's it all!
One Month and it's just the beginning.... OMG.....Rebecca....I love, love, love what you said in this blog....."it wasn't horrible, no one died or anything"! Life is so precious and yes since it is Thanksgiving, let's be thankful for what we have and who we have in life to share it with. I even shed a few tears while I read this....today is Thanksgiving Monday and will will live it to the fullest and be glad that I can. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Tyler and be safe.....we miss you!
Love Dave and Gina
I like to hear your thoughts Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. ~Author Unknown
Sounds like you had a chance to stop and think of what might be the whole reason for Thanks Giving. Well done. We have been surrounded by family this weekend and you always comes up. Thanks you, and safe travels as you begin month 4
Love dad
Thinking of you! Hello Ty & Becca,
Want to, also, wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving a time to think about and appreciate the ones we love. I have followed you religiously and enjoyed every moment, thank you for that!
Lots of Love - Pat, Deb, Max, Ali & Rye
Wowsers What views, you truly have seen Shangri La. Keep on trucking, and be careful around those darn landslides... We will miss you at Thanksgiving but have you there with us as we talk about your adventures... Love you both.. Uncle David is 60 today, how did that happen? Have a beverage on a mountain for him will you??? hehe
Missed you Hallo Rebecca and Tyler,it took a me some time to catch up on my reading,loved the pictures.Loved the one off you and Tyler, bin also on twitter and loved it.Please be safe, we love you Oma and Opa
I think I'll just take your word for it on this one... There have been many times while reading your blogs that I thought - "you know - that looks really cool - someday I think I'd like to go do that." However, this last blog, I think I will pass on! I don't think I would do well with people spitting (et.al) in the aisles next to me and a 22 hour bus ride on treacherous roads with 2 hour stops sounds anything but fun. So thanks for taking one for the team guys!! I will just leave this stop off my list and just enjoy your pics!!! :)
They are the cutest Those Pandas are adorable. Your crazy aunts and Mum are back from our amazing trip to England... It was so wonderful.Keep on having fun, you certainly are seeing a lot.. Love you both
China travels Hi you guys!
Your chinese blogs are simply mezmorizing! Amazing photos. Food sounds wonderful. I saw the riots you speak of - on TV - be safe.
Take care of each other, Love Gr. Shirley
HK to Pingyao Wow it looks so very different! The architecture looks very intricate and detailed. What are the street made of? Have you connected with any people? The Great Wall looks endless. Very interesting...looking forward to more blogs! Much love..Mom xo
Nihao back at ya! Loving that "we" have made it to a new country. The pics of the Wall, and the Forbidden cities (winter & summer) are stunning. I know what you mean about the history part - I felt like that when I went to Europe - hearing the stories about it made me wish I knew more of the history before I went, so I have tried to do that ever since (at least read the guide book history lessons! haha). As always, loving the blogs and the pics. Have fun - stay safe!! Looking forward to the next ones! :) Zai jian!
This big shiny ball I love reading your blogs. Tric told me I should comment sometime and so here it is. I know what you mean about making every moment in life count and how you should cherish everyone and everything around you. I can literally feel your excitement when you write and its contagious. Keep it up - looking forward to the next one !!!
Welcome to the wall? Peek a boo I saw you..Glad the blogs are back on track. I miss my updates and the smiling faces you provide. The history and the beauty of this one of the oh so many places you are going through. Thanks and keep blogging. We are with you as long as the blog will have us..smiling for you both.
Bukit Lawang Restored Wow, the Bukit Lawang is totally restored after the flood few years ago.
I was enjoying the view, air and fresh water on there.
If I got any chance, I want to visit it again!
wrap-up & safe arrival
Hi you two! I love your Indonisian wrap and your personal thoughts. .So glad you arrd in China safely. Your 24hr train ride will also end and who knows from there? I cannot tell you how thrilling this is for me!
Keep safe and look after each other---love you lots ---Gr. Shirley
I for one can't believe it's already been two months that you guys have been gone. The blogs have kept us up to date and made me feel included every step of the way. I had never really thought of Indonesia as a travel destination before but it has definitely been added to my list (although it is already a long list! :) ) because of all the amazing things you guys have seen and described. So here's to the next step on your amazing adventure! Thanks for taking me with you! :) By the way I have a cousin that is in South Korea teaching English as a second language - if you are headed that way let me know and I'll get her contact info! Tric
Journeying together What an amazing journey you two are having. I just find it so amazing all you are doing! Great blogs and pics. Feel like I'm on the adventure with you! Glad we got to skype! Safe flights to China! Talk soon! Much love...Mom xo
Hello Bec! Hi Rebecca! I'm an Indonesian and I read your blogposts about your travel in Indoneisa, and I'm in awe reading to your stories. Just want you to know, if you decided to stop for a few days in Jakarta and need some help, I would be more than happy to help! I live in Jakarta. Just give me a message,
Thanks :)
We are Tyler and Rebecca, and we are addicted to sunshine!
We also get lost A LOT, think there are few things in life better than "ocean hair", are Philadelphia Eagles fans (NFL), are obsessed with street food and hole-in-the wall restaurants and have just started to stoke our passion for travel!!
Originally from London, Ontario, Canada we recently completely an unbelievable backpacking trip through South-East Asia and China.
The early blogs on this site are very personal to Rebecca since the initial purpose for the blog was to keep in touch with home.
Our real adventure began in Singapo... full info
