Nurse Don's Guestbook

Thank you so much for taking me along on your travels through the wonderful blogs. It is so exciting to sign in each day to see "what & where". I admire you so much for not only the courage to venture out to worlds unknown but to have the heart of a person that respects and appreciates the people of each culture. You are truly a good example for any who have the desire to explore the world to follow. Now, move over Anthony Bourdain, my Bubba is on the move!! I love you little brother!! PS: after you see the world, don't forget I want you to come grow old with me eating hot water cornbread and chicken & dumplins!!!!

Wow. Very well written, and I agree 100%!
Hi there, I love coming on this blog and reading about people's adventures in Thailand prior to my own coming up this January. I could not agree more on your 12 points. After having toured the world with Cirque du Soleil, and working on the world's largest cruise ship, competing in countries around the globe, I have learned the same things. I think the one I agree with the most is about the language! Learn a little bit, a TINY bit, any willingness to do so shows respect of the culture. And you almost always will learn how to swear first! I can't now say vulgar phrases in about 15 different languages! Anyways, thanks for the good read this morning!

Are you okay? Did you make it out?

I was planning on warning you about Lisa's birthday when you got back to the states...good catch!!! It is now safe for you to return

Awwwwww thanks
Hi Don, Still friends after all these years!!!!! Enjoy the rest of your trip

From your one Follower...
and hope you get a few more. You fit right in with Travelblog as none of us take blogging so seriously that we have to be something other than ourselves. Most of us start blogging for ourselves, family, or friends, then realize that we are connected to a much larger audience. Don't let that affect you other than encouraging you to keep writing about your travels. Glad to hear you stood next to my radar station!

Fun time
Now that sounds like fun. Did the girls all speak English?

Thanks for the memories...
I surveyed the top of Doi Inthanon for the radar station in 1968 and then returned after college to build the road to the top of the mountain and the radar station in 1974-75. My wife and I lived in Chiang Mai and just loved the place. I took my three children there in May 2007, and they were amazed. I also took my son to Krabi and Railey Beach in 2009 in conjunction with a trip to China and Vietnam. I blogged about these experiences in case you are interested. Continue enjoying Thailand!

Paradise
Don, your right I'm jealous! That is beautiful! Could definitely see living there. Did you find retirement spot? Karen
