Oh Boy So I have had no computer since I think you left.... Got a really bad virus and John is trying to fix it for me.... I am at PF and I am sneaking on right now...... to see what you wrote
Anyways I have been wondering where you are and what you are doing... I am caught up now.... It reminded me of that show where in the world is Carmen San Diego... only its kristin howell haha
I am glad you are safe and enjoying your trip..... I will shower double for you...do you have razors? haha
Miss Ya Love Andrea..... Dave misses you too :) haha
Just keep swimmin', just keep swimmin' Afraid as in Rech fraid? If I close my eyes I can feel the heat. I think the unrelentless heat invades one and leaves a permanent mark like a souvenier. May it be a memory that you look forward to leaving yet always remember. Southern NJ gets hot and you could come here for a "fix". my love, Lauren
So glad when you write...That's when I know you are safe...I would have said to that guy with the $20 ok we will not be going on your boat. Turned around to walk away and I wonder what he would have done?? He is a criminal...I bet they would have put the price down...Who knows...I guess it was better to do what you did.
I hope you get to the water filled volcano and the water is crystal clear and refreshing...Am I asking too much?? Love and please be safe...Mom
Miss You Hey Mama! Those kids were so adorable! You are a brave woman, Kristin. Cherish all these moments. THe weeks will FLY BY!! Still missing you and wearing my new skirt OFTEN!! :) THanks Again!!
Kristin you make us so proud. How you do what you do I cannot
imagine. Only once did I go camping but only because I knew there
were showers. I imagine it was hard for you to leave those kids.
Through your eyes we are seeing the way other people really live.
We hear and see it on T.V. but its not the same. Your grandmother
would have a fit with the snakes. She can't even look at a pic. of
one. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and enjoy. Love ya.
Our equivalent to Orphanages are foster homes I believe That was a very kind thing to buy them toys Kris. Seeing those pictures makes me greatful. It a call to the Sally Str also makes me want to place a call to Sally Struthers to donate money to her charity! Sounds like your having a great time despite the heat, grfeedy man at the market and the "little" critters in the river (as well as the germs! We miss you lots.
p.s.
I want a picture of you with your mask on!!!
Adoption! K-ho, I want to adopt one of those Cambodian Children. It is so sad. They are too cute. Glad the snakes and aligators didn't get you, I probably would have had a complete panic attack at that point! Hang in there. Be safe!
I hate snakes OMG, I hate snakes, hate hate hate. Can't even watch them on tv, like on Survivor when they show them on Tribal Council all the time!! And speaking of which, this reminds me of Survivor. A show I love to watch but know from my couch I could never ever do. I have the chills. Icky! And that water, makes me thankful for my water bill, MWRA and all! God Bless Poland Springs. I think it is beyond admirable of you to visit that orphange with gifts. That is an amazing aspect of this trip. May God watch over them all and you my dear sister. We miss you much and can't wait for you to be home. How come it seems like you have been gone for so long already and it's been less then a week that I cried holding on to you in the street at Janice's begging you not to go! Ughh! I am enjoying the blog. Love you so much!! xoxoxox Oh p.s. Jaclyn fell in the driveway yesterday and clipped her head on the fence, she looks rough but she survived. Her head grew into quite an egg instantly! She's tough as nails though, was more upset about the ice I insisted on, then the fall itself. xoxoxoxxo
you're not kidding! That water looks rather alarming! Your pictures of the orphanage were beautiful! Did you sing them our Annie song? Anyhoo, thanks for the pictures and story. Be safe traveling!
To afraid is to know you're alive Guardia and good old fashioned poop! That's what was in the water. :P
The things that scare you are the details you never forget.
Great photos! Your doing a great job with the photos. Its really giving a perspective of the places that you have been and the depth of the people. Great job. How about some photos of you and your crew as well? It would be nice to see how travelled you are. Be good and take care. Eric
ps Kris, I am in awe of your adventure and pictures but you have to know that your ps made me laugh outloud. I didn't see that coming! Keep on having a great (and safe!) time. Looking forward to the next blog. It's like finally getting those postcards drum uncle traveling Mack that I always wanted when watching draggle rock.
WOW! a 3 hour cab ride? It sounds like you are having a ball. DId you get to the orphanage? One of the kids I used to see l(for work) lived in a orphanage in Cambodia! I love the pic! Baseball update; The American League won the All-Star game and our own JD drew was the MVP!
Miss Ya Thai KHo
Sounds like lots of fun Kristen I would never put it past you to take a trip like this especially after going to England with you. Sometimes I wish i had the courage to travel like you but it definately not in me. I happy to hear that you are having a great time and will continue to read your blogs througout your trip.
Smelly? Kristin I know a little about smells and frankly you do not come to mind. The snakes were fine by me but an orphanage? I might not make it through this. This could be rough. Like a ripple in a pond, Kristin, leave them with a smile. Do your Helen imitation. It always makes me "Howell" My love Lauren
Flirting! Are you flirting with the Cambodian waiter? Ha ha jk. Glad you got there ok, and are still alive. UM, ya so the shower thing...I don't know how you are doing it! Please in your next blog can you include a picture of yourself with your back pack and fanny pack on? Thanks so much. xo stay safe! :)
The magic It´s happening. I can read it between your lines. You´re feeling it. You´re more alert than ever. You feel really alive. You´re catching it - the travel bug. Watch out World, Kristin´s coming.

Hello!!!! First, I have to say OMG and what were you thinking. (lol) Today is the first day I read your blogs, other plps comments. And I just can't believe your doing this. It sounds exciting but I could NEVER do this. My idea of a vaca is Aruba... lol -I would of cried just because I could only take a back pack. But your a trooper, I have to tell you. You are amazing and inspiring for taking this trip. I wish you the best of luck. I can't wait to see all your pics and stories/adventures at girls night. Have FUN and be SAFE....!!!
Now you're Cambodian? Everytime I see you posted a blog I get so excited. Your trip looks and sounds amazing so far. The pictures of Cambodia look beautiful. I love the one of the kids sleeping, it really captures the experience. If you get into the orphanage I am sure it will be an amazing experience... I'm sure the title of your next blog will be.. "I'm moving to Cambodia to work in an orphanage". And the best part is, I bet you would! Be safe.. I miss you!
Cambodia Well glad to hear that you made it and youare all well. Sounds like a great experience and what the trip is all about. continue to have fun and stay safe. Enjoy reading about your ventures and the photos too.
Love Lucille
