I don't even know you anymore!!! When the hell are you coming home? I haven't had access to email in a while because my computer isn't working again, so sorry I haven't been in touch. Anyhow, stay safe, have fun...all that. See you later.

'Pretending'
Maybe that comment says more about the person who said it than about you. What is a 'backpacker'? It is different things to different people. Some people think that you can only be a 'backpacker' if you stay in the cheapest places and eat the cheapest food and spend the least amount of money so that they can say that they have 'roughed it' or some such c**p etc. But maybe a backpacker is simply someone who carries a backpack! And there is nothing wrong with staying in more expensive places etc and putting more money into the economy of the country you are travelling around. Maybe your label for what you are is a traveller - not a tourist - but a traveller. Anyway - they are all just labels - and there are too many of those in life. Just enjoy it and be there doing what you are doing for your own reasons and for your own self. Dont be influenced by other's lables. Continue to be your own person.

Kevin, This is awsome I'm soo glad you have hooked up with others over there. Reading this makes me (and maybe mommy) want to sell everything and get the hell out of this rat race. Enjoy your time, it seems as though you are having such a good time and so many experiences that you may never want to come back and get caught up in what we called the Corporate World. Be Safe Kevin....Lov ya Daddy # 2

Common scene in Thai man.
Youre in Thailand, not a 3rd world country in the far far away africa or so. I am suprised that you didnt realize that Thai is developing fast and have done so the last 15 years or so... actually more.- but you can run to a re,ote beach that is not sandy, between Surat Thani and Hua Hin somewhere, and find your quiet spot. Or off rad Uttaradit, inthe forest. :D

Quiet...
I guess getting hit with the whole starbucks / laptop / vente mocha frapaccino scene is enough to drive anyone to think the entire world has been plugged into a matrix of mainstream madness. I thought you would have hit that point while whatching that long neck women texting someone on her mobile phone. That seemed pretty crazy to me. I am glad I couldn't sleep tonight and had a moment to read through your blogs. Enjoy your travels no matter where it takes you.

Reading through the travel Blog
Kevin, I can't sleep tonight for one reason or another but as I read through your travel blog I am both envious and inspired. I couldn't agree with you more about the whole work thing. It should never have that grip on anyone and it some how grips us all. I also fully know what you mean about finding the greatest moments when you least expect them. I hope you keep finding them. I'll continue to read on but wanted to let you know I am damn proud to know you. maybe this epiphany could lead you to become a travel agent in the future organizing the best stress relief travels for all of the over-stressed corporate executives of the world.... Who knows... just a whacky idea.

How to get in contact with Boy
Kevin, loved your story on travelling around with Boy in a 4wd. We are a family of four (kids 11 and 13) and planning a backpack trip in Thailand next summer. Could you provide me with price details and address of Boy. Would love to take a trip with my family as you made in the north..... our email wendyjol@hotmail.com

hey man, good to here the stories...it is all so amazing...good luck as you requested...talk to you in a day or two..
28th January 2006

Thanks
Dear Kevin - glad you are back blogging - it is great that you are back. Keep on travelling - when I travelled it was the happiest time of my life. Maybe 'real life' is not for me! Even tho' times may not always be great or go the way you want them to go - you learn so much about the world around you, the people around you and about yourself. You had the courage to go out there again, and to share so much with other people by writing your blog. You sound like a decent person and you are doing what so many people dont have the courage to do. GO FOR IT! What ever you want IT to be - it will come to you.

Perspective
Outstanding. Publish, teach, or find some other way to say this to as many people as possible. (You might want to start with 3 teenagers from Encinitas).

very inspiring
Thanks Kevin...you are the first person I have heard from in a long time that recognizes the moment and appreciates it for what it is. I love it.
24th January 2006

You are a ROCKSTAR!
I love that you are having such a great adventure! I think you should start pulling the "I'm a Canadian" card. But then again, I may be a little bias:) Be well my sweet friend.

What the hell?!?!
I got a puppy that is driving me crazy. I can't even go outside to the washing machine without him freakin out, let alone to the bottom of the friggin' ocean. BTW, I hate you too.
19th January 2006

Oh ya? You think you're having fun?
Well I am sitting on the phone all day at the office with pissed off clients trying to get them to buy software. Now that is waaaay more fun than what you are doing. So hang in there, it'll be ok Kev. BTW did i tell you I hate you?
