G'day A great start to your snow free escape! Re the orange trees lining the street - that's unique, though I couldn't help thinking, with Seville to the north west and Valencia to the north east, there had to be oranges between! Cheers. Garry
Off Again Wow How nice is that - hard to keep up with you two - great pics. - love it when you share - must have great stomachs eating that huge plate of dried yummy slices of meat(LOL) - and to think you did not spill a drop of your beer travelling at that speed - You both are the World Travelers - NICE - xo
Peaceful Getaway Wow - nice you guys - Move to Kingsville - our weather is awesome(LOL) - closer to get to the Detroit Airport - looked at your pictures twice this morning - love them - I am in process of making my famous Tourtiers (meat pies) for Christmas -
Fond Memories! Looking at your photos brings back such happy thoughts of our trip to Australia and New Zealand several years ago - the good news is we can still remember it, although sometimes I couldn't say what I did a day ago!! It was so nice to see pictures of both of you and also your family, and I am sure they enjoyed every minute of time spent with you. Ian, your Mom looks great, hasn't changed a bit - please say hi to her for me! I think you made a wise decision on not eating some of the food choices - not sure what part of the elephant was on that plate ........
If you go on a China trip, check and see what is offered by Chinapac, based in Vancouver - we went on one of their tours in 2004 and I know things can change over the years but it was a great tour, 13 of us and then we added Hong Kong on to do on our own at the end - worth checking to get some ideas - it was good back then, hopefully still good now!
Happy travels. You are living the dream, for sure!
Pictures Pics are amazing as you two are! - And Joy, she looks awesome Ian - what a life you two are having - So happy for you - It is cold here - can't wait for Summer - Having a glass of Vino(CHEERS) as I type this - xo p.s. some of that food you showed (YIKES) (ha)

Wish we were there! Hi Ian and Marlene - Loved seeing your pictures! You both look great , guess all that wine and beer on vacations is keeping you healthy, works for us too! We loved England and Ireland and would go back in a heartbeat. Seeing your photos reminded us a lot of our time there. So nice to see that you are still travelling, there is so much to see out there!

Happy travels! Hi Ian and Marlene -
Just checked to see if you were still blogging and happy to see your most recent post - always thought we might like to venture to Dubai at some point ....Dietrich would love to go for the car race! We have friends who were in Dubai a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Our recent travels have kept us much closer to home but maybe we will decide to venture further from North America again one day. Both of us are still enjoying good health and love to see new places.
Heard on the radio this morning that tomorrow is Australia Day and that made me think of you and those wonderful buns ....the cinnamon ones, that is! Those were fun days for sure. I spoke to Nancy Westwood last week and she is still teaching - yikes! - she will be 68 in March and still has no plans to retire - she is number 2 on the Peel seniority list.
Hope you are both well - happy travels!
Love,
Nancy G.
