Your opening paragraph captured so much of what we are feeling now with such eloquence... I had to keep reading. This may be your longest blog, but it is your best, creating the visual descriptions again with such eloquence that I was with you every step. My wife and I had the same itinerary you did for the first two days in January 1979, but my blog pales in comparison to yours. Welcome back to blogging. I look forward to reading about your dives.
Thank you I'm so glad you appreciated the blog, I truly enjoying hearing from you! Cairo is such a unique place, I wanted to convey those feelings as much as possible. Strange times for our wanderlusting souls, but I'll keep the travel bug alive through my writing until we're able to roam free again!!
Hello Hi there, where are you staying in thailand?? Might be visiting in July and would like to see if the option of couch-surfing is still available??
Hey there! Hi Arnold,
I am always up for hosting couchsurfers, but unfortunately this blog was a goodbye memoir....I'm back in the US for the next 6 months! But if you do find yourself in either Phuket or Koh Tao, I have lived both places and could reach out to friends who may have a couch for you! Feel free to e-mail me at kkelly@rollins.edu or find me on facebook with the same address :) happy travels!
Each drop of rain gathers to create a stream. Each experience helps you grow somehow, whether you are aware of it or not. And together they provide the momentum to push you on to your next adventure. Keep on truckin'! I love you!
I guess it was better for you to concentrate on the positive... the negative is both mentally and physically exhausting. I hope on slow days you get to dive and do other neat stuff.
It doesn't sound like it... ...because I didn't mention the less glamorous bits like: holding sea sick bags while passengers vomit, carrying piles of dirty linen up three flights of stairs to the washers while the boat is cruising along the rough winter seas at 25 knots, running around the boat to collect signatures for the manifest before we move the boat, or trying to serve meals and promptly clean up after 50+ people on a busy day! I play housekeeper/bartender/waitress/doctor on top of my admin duties, so I'd say it's pretty full on!
Thank you for NEVER doing acid. Just saying. And when you catch your breath, shoot us another entry on your reflections on all this activity! Love you tons! Mom.
Other than the quick trip to Hong Kong... it's been awhile since you've had an extended overseas trip. I'm looking forward to your next great adventure.
And an even shorter trip to Mexico... You are telling me! I am also very much looking forward to my next international adventure :) Thanks for the support!
and Awesome! I think that lizard really digs you! Congratulations on all that you have accomplished and suffered through. I feel good that I told you to stay there a while. Can't wait to see you here for a visit! Love you tons, mom.
"'Cheshire Puss,' Alice began, 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where--' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.'"... full info
