I had a smile on my face the entire time I read this blog We will be waiting for the up coming issue of Hello magazine ( maybe some photos should not be published) Dog gone it we miss Cockle. I was happy to see photos. I was happy to hear stories of TBloggers being united in foreign lands. Sounds like a fantastic time was had by all. Shane must enjoy a good wedding. Warnings should be sent to the next country that allows a Camel, a Cockle and a dancing duo get together. We will notify the state department if necessary....travel warnings can be issued.
I had a smile on my face (MJ & Dave) I had a smile on my face reading your comment...the comments & heartfelt regard of others in the ether...enjoying a visit from the Ghost of Cockle...remembering and being able to share wonderful times...connections that can only be made through Travelblog. Funny to say it but I know you'll agree.
David's exclusive massage pictures...... will be appearing in the next issue of 'Hello' magazine. I did have to haggle rather aggressively over my commission, however, I eventually managed to settle for one rather large German knackwurst and a small sack of the finest, Indonesian spuds......
I miss... Cockle who was one of my first Followers. I miss his curmudgeonly commentary, and he's not even old. I also miss the pictures of the massages...or perhaps not.
I miss... Yeh Bob...I miss too. Fortunately we are still in touch and our paths may cross again. He was an amazing host...none better. Hope you enjoy our further adventures.
Where's Shane? Gotta always keep an eye on the Camel as he's inclined to wander off...always getting himself invited to this and that. One time on the Mekong he was chatting to some English girls and the next thing I know he's in a canoe with them sailing off down a tepid stream...pretending he was deaf as I called out to him!
Have to work on it Rachael Took a few shots to get that one creepy enough...pretty weird directing Nick on the angles required. Had to feel sorry for the barber who was very serious and concentrating while Nick & I thought it was a bit of a hoot.
Bravo! You should try it Jason. Nothing like some aural surgery to fish out some some spare change that might have got trapped in there. You'd be amazed what some people have between their ears.
Wild times were had by all! Wild TBers hard at work--exploring the world of big beers, wedding crashing, and heavenly massage--and educating us on the little known processes of ear wax removal and forehead shaving. Good show! Loved your photo essay--fabulous placement and great portraits, as usual. I relaxed and enjoyed!
A caravan of camels... a troupe of dancers... a bed of cockles... ...so what's the collective noun for bloggers?
A bevy of bloggers...? A gossip of bloggers...? A tribe of TravelBloggers...?
Will you start the forum thread or shall I?!
A caravan of camels... a troupe of dancers... a bed of cockles... Hi Mike. A travel of bloggers...a *****of bloggers...great question. With a "camel, a cockle & a dancing duo" definitely "a great time of bloggers."
I'm in stitches! Clicked all photos, making sure I don't miss anything! That was some party. Love your first trio photo. And the aural surgery made my ears itch the past hour. You guys should meet and travel together more often!
LILIRAM I've never had my forehead shaved...never had a facial...never had ear surgery...never travelled with other TBers before...the party is just beginning.
"TWEETIE BIRD"! seriously Dave?! hahahahaha. this cracked me up =P you're a genius. the band needs to get together for the world tour rehearsals ;) keep the songs coming guys. x
CONGRATS TYNNIE What a night...what a band...what a great selection of life stories. Thanks for being part of it. Career change...lookin' good...time for a couple more gigs before our World Tour.
Music is the universal Language of the Soul Thanks for the nomination Dave. As what the great philosopher Plato says "Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination ... " and I must add, gives back the person's missing dots ...
JOHANNA ""the great philosopher Plato says "Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination ... " and I must add, gives back the person's missing dots ..."" And there I was thinking the 3 dots were born in Northern Africa...Ancient Greek...the things you learn. Not sure what music I should listen to to let that sink in!
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.
