Finally In Turkey
I can't say I'm very happy with the method of your arrival, but the first day does sound good. My cousin has just been through there and had a wonderful time. Apparently they went to a place called Pamukkale. If you're doing that too, Anne-Maree, who you may remember, may still be running one of the hotels there. So many maybes...

The joys of Singapore
Glad that you have finally discovered Singapore outside of Changi Airport; the wonderful food and comfortable environment is a perfect place to ease into and out of travels to more challenging or distant destinations.

Happy Days Ahead
Hi Andrew and Ren, Absolutely love it when you two go on holidays, don't need a book to read as I am addicted to your blogs. Bit of a disappointment regarding the mile high love affair. Having just come back from holidays are very envious of you. Loved the photos of Oscar and Jasper, hope they are enjoying their little holiday. Have a great time and look forward to staying in touch Love Deb xx

Hello Ren and Drew
We understand that complete feeling of relaxation once you have arrived on the plane and we have missed many a take off. It is always a little disorienting when you wake up and look around to figure out if you are actually in the air. Loved the photo of Jasper. I do hope you will post a photo of Oscar. We had a Corgi for 14 years. She passed away last June and we'd love to see a photo of yours. If you look on our bio page at our best blog for 2011 you will see the tribute my husband wrote to a traveling pup. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by Singapore. It has more to offer than you might expect... and it is very clean. Very different from the rest of Asia but well worth a visit. The hop on hop off bus might provide you a look around since your time is limited. A Singapore Sling at Raffles will set you back $20+ if memory serves. That is where the Singapore sling was created. The red light district is always entertaining. Happy travels and can't wait to hear more. I love your descriptions of what you are thinking, how you are feeling and the adventure begins.

Turkish delight
Hi Travellers, great to see you are back on the road again. I wish you safe travel, wonderful food experiences and look forward to many exciting blogs and great pictures. Would expect nothing less from you two, cheers from Dotti.

Great that you are on the road again!
We will follow along!

Tea from Doi Mae Salong
Hi! As it happens, the Xing Yang Tea House and factory you visited are my trading partners! I bumped into them (nice, nice people), when I searched the myriads of tea traders at DMS for a reliable supplier for my venture in teas from North Thailand (check my blog at www.siamteas.com and my shop at http://siam-tee.de/index.php?language=en). I was seeing if I would find them on the net, but your travel blog entry was the only relevant result the search machine returned.

Thailand/Bangkok
It has been a very interesting read. Glad you enjoyed it. Another friend of mine always swore by Bangkok, and would always try to go to wherever she was going via Bangkok. Welcome home.

Patong
Interesting that somewhere like Patong is so deep in the Muslim area.

Real Surfers Paradise
That did sound much, much better than the Riviera/Surfers Paradise drivel of the previous place. I'm now very intrigued to get The Phuket Report.

Hi Ren & Andrew, Enjoying your blog. It all sounds wonderful, even the touristy bits. Take care and keep enjoying all that wonderful food.
