So honored to have been a part of it :) Oh you noticed I was chatting the captain up did you? Cannot thank you enough and to be part of this amazing blog and amazing community of travelers is 'awesome'. Have never felt so welcome, bring on the next get together! This line summed up what you and Denise managed to do for us the whole weekend - It really did explode with colour.
"When you plan a surprise it really helps if it comes with a plain wrapping and the insides explode with colour" - Dancing Dave
Where to start? I don't know where to start thanking you Dave for the incredibly wonderful weekend you and your beautiful Denise gave us. It was my absolute pleasure to also spend time talking photography at the marina. I know there are some amazing concert photos heading TB's way in the future. Thank you so much Dancing Ones - miss you guys heaps. Bugger it, let's do this again!
Food, food, food I was hungry at the time when looking at all of that delicious food, but am hungrier now after reading all of the detailed descriptions of what was on offer! It was great to be able to join the Travelblog get-together from afar.
Food, food, food As Travelblog is starting a Food Forum...only fair to share that we eat amazingly at TB Get-Togethers. And yes...the Basque pies were sensational. Thanks for going to the trouble of attending by Skype from Axum, Ethiopia...our guests were blown away...and the reception was very clear!
Thanks Per-Olof Appreciate you taking the time to comment. I have posted many portrait blogs (Faces of...) on Travelblog, so I find it interesting which portraits attract comments. This was a prim & proper lady who posed for me in the Reunification Palace in HCMC.

The instrument is not the camera but the photographer Thanks Jason. I'll take that as a compliment. I am certainly interested in the people in front of the lens.
Fantastic! A great story - so glad Polly made it home in one piece. Perhaps word will get around and you'll be in demand for other frogs who meet with misadventure. Interpolly Inc to the rescue!
Faces - don't you just luv 'em?! A great selection of faces from a land I don't yet know (but which is on my ever-growing list!).

GREAT WORK I LOVE FACES. YOU ALWAYS MAKE A GREAT WORK OF ART WITH THE PICTURES OF FACES. AMAZING FACES. LADIES ON THE SOUTH EAST ASIA LANDS ARE SO FEMININE AND CUTE, SOMETHING WE (FROM THE WEST) HAVE LOST. HUGS FROM ARGENTINA. GRACIELA.
very beautiful girls. And great fun was had by all! Sure was...wonderful experience. As you know from our time together...meeting up with fellow travelbloggers is instant friendship and great times.
Faces One of your best. Delightful.

What a hero! Organizing the trip and then saving the day! I'm sure Polly will nominate your for TB Hero when that necessary category opens up. You're an inspiration to us all! Keep up saving the world, one frog at a time.
Keep up saving the world, one frog at a time. Great comment Tara. I'm just the messenger...just did what had to be done! Yet I wasn't in Afghanistan when Shane needed me. His kangaroo mascot Blue went missing in that country & has not been recovered. Guess there was no one there prepared to pay any ransom for him! Yet Polly is enjoying Dubai. C'est la vie!
The beers helped! Thanks Dave for writing down those fun memories. Hope you and Denise are fine and will have more and more interesting stories from all around the world. There are still many beautiful places in Vietnam waiting for you ;)
Cheers,
Nhu
The beers helped! Hi Nhu. Thank you for the comment. Building a plan...building a pyramid of empty cans...fun memories. Hope to see you next time we are in Vietnam.
My wife Denise & I like to travel "on paths less travelled" that capture our imagination, inspire my photography & where we mix with locals & remain safe.
