Laura421's Guestbook

Laura, so good to hear of your day in Sydney on your own! You make everything into an adventure! And why not! I too went to Bondi Beach when I was there and remember someone telling me that it had been a real hippy outpost during the 60's.
It still kinda had that feel to it. Hope flight to Phnom Penh was good and look forward to future blogs. Love, Shirley

I am so glad you are at least safe and not being treat badly physically.. M,any things abroad are unfair. as you said maybe becasue we are Americans. WOULD really like to sit and visit with you someday soon; Right now, difficult times finan
cially but I will do better by end of year which is coming quickly. 2012 is almost hafl over. I am going to Costa Rica in July.

Hey Laura! How are you? I've realized I don't have your email address.. But I see you're back in Thailand now - what plans have you made? Are you going south?I'm enjoying being at home. My sister had the baby five weeks early, so the little
girl is already here :) I hope everything's good, and that it wasn't too sad to leave Wat Opot..Happy travels!

Well, the bonus of having spiders and geckos and frogs, aside from their eating bugs, is that they are some of the more sensitive (environmentally) species, so it sounds like the country there is at least fairly healthy. As long as they all
have the proper number of legs and heads and such, that is. Good luck with the spiders! It reminds me of, one time when I was staying at Amanda's house (this was Amanda who you don't know, she lived in Berwick with her family at the time, I was spending a week or so there one spring break, or summer) in a sleeping bag on the floor and we were yapping, and a GREAT BIG SPIDER came up out of the sleeping bag (I was in it) and crawled right up onto my collarbone! Neither of us was overly happy; I was pretty freaked out. I think we moved into her car and slept there for the night and went nuts cleaning the next day. But it was very startling, and I do not envy you the spiders. That's what cats are for - eating them! Shall I send you a cat? Comet is a good hunter ;) anyway, glad that y'all got smart to the poisonous snakes before something serious happened; they are one of those species where time is important and with you being out in nowhere I'd worry about getting someone air-lifted out in time :/ So glad you are watching carefully now. The frogs just sound funny, too. Hope you're getting pictures!
