Hi you two!  Ed and Paula are coming to visit early Sept and see Ottawa, play golf and whatever. Your names styill come up first on tanga/tanga - quite amazing after this time has elapsed.   We hope you have both your feet planted firmly on ground now and are getting on with life.  It has turned from a wet early summer to a glorious July now and we are enjoying our place and grandchildren.  Keep in touch when you can.  Best wishes Alan & Pat

Hi, Tim & Linda! 

I just viewed the Ireland slideshow, and the picture taken of off the fairway #6 was really amazing! (Was it the 57th picture in the slideshow? I don't know...) Anyhow, that cruise must've been really wild from all the pictures in the slideshow!

-Rachel

Those photos are great, the flowering tree outside Blarney Castle was flowering just like that when I was there.  I'd recognise it anywhere!!!!

By far the most outstanding and incredible photos are those of your grandchildren.  I could just squeeze them, they'd think I was nuts but they are just adorable.  You certainly captured the spirit of Gillian and Linley

How lucky could one set of  grandparents be.... oh yeah, triple lucky when this newest one comes along.

Thanks for these.

Dawn

Hi

Welcome Back!  Love the photos from London! Will you be posting Ireland soon? I want to see all the shades of green!   

Talk soon!

Fxo

I just want to say that your Blog is wonderful.  What type of camera (s) did you use.  All is fine in La Jolla and we plan to due Europe in August until November 2008.  eldp4

Happy Mother's Day Linda.

I just got home from being down at the kids, had a ball.  And you should see the beautiful flowers that were waiting for me.  I am the luckiest.

Dawn

Good to hear you had a good time with the kids and grand kids!!!  I joined ladies league at salmo golf course!!!  Definately not ready for ladies pro circuit but having fun!!  Wish you guys were here! We miss you! Everytime we finish a book we have an uncontrollable urge to call you to discuss it...........then we get the wine shakes and a hunger pang.  I don't think it is a gallbladder problem.  Just "lonesomeitis"

We know we will see you again tho.........  cause we hold the key to all your belongings!!!!!!  heheheheh

Hi Guys,

I haven't read too much lately but I hope you are having fun

Len Fergie

What!!!!!!!!!!!  No grey!!!!!!!!!!???????   Who do those fashionista's think they are?? or aren't???  Getting nicer around here, bit cool in the mornings. Had a dive trip to Prince Rupert and got in the water 5 times. Last one was like Mexico....... without the heat, fish, turtles, Tequila, nude beach, Corona, sun, sand, shorty wetsuit, wife, gall bladder attack.......  you know the routine. I had one golf game so far, in Coeur D'alene......  parred #14... the floating green!!!  Got the certificate and everything. Hope to get out this weekend??? Glad you have fond memories of Rome. I've heard some goofy stories. Keep posting when you can. See you soon???  Ciao.......

Wow, these are incredible as ever.

I was in Rome so these shots were a walk down memory lane.  Did you feel the energy at the Col', and walking on those stones where millions have walked before you, imagine in the early days when they were first laid !!  Did you get swarmed with peddlers ( maybe not the right term?) leaving there?  and see the guys dressed as gladiators, charging for photos?   Sorrento is on my list, your shots could all win in my books.

Cheese will never be the same again, I am sure :)

Can hardly wait for your return.

Dawn

Hi Guys, spring has finally arived just in time for summer. I still have not swung a golf club . Waiting for you two to return so we can get a game in. I hope your  world tour was everything you wanted. Thanks again for the great pictures.

Kelly

Your site is wonderful.  Hope you are having a good time with the family .  We came home from England after one sunnt day as William  is reallt tired.

Amazing, it's all so old!!!!!!!!  And speaking of that, you definatley look the youngest on board, must be a good feeling :)  I can imagine the prints you will have enlarged to put on your walls, which ones to choose??

I am in the midst of planning my Level 1 and Level 2 courses, teleclasses and in the process of organizing presentations with a dr. who has a dark field microscope to do live blood analysis in front of a live audience.... so everyone can see, scientifically how EFT works, oh, I am so excited.  With Gary's 7 minute video, there's so much hype about and we are in the middle of it.

Enjoy your time on the water, I am sure you will view the ocean from here on in much differntly than you ever have before.  Have a pint of Guinness for me.... Dawn

Hello!  It's 9:15am Monday morning, and as I look out the office window, it's really black outside...nasty weather moving in, but your pictures make it all sunny!

You two look really happy, and I'm so glad you're having the trip of a lifetime!  Love the pictures...looking forward to the next ones!

Cheers!

Marcella

Hello!

Great pics from Egypt! Tim Z says 'are you getting tired of writing captions? Friendliest, Friendlier, ....'   Sean would like to know why you couldn't view Tut's tomb.  Please bring back Tuscany info for our clan - it is one of our hopeful destinations for next year. Sylvia had much the same experiences with shopkeepers in Egypt as you did - she was not impressed.

Life here is getting sunnier and warmer! Finally! Mark just got his wisdom teeth out today - so he is doing his best 'chipmunk' imitation. Sean is practicing for his badminton tourny at the end of the month and starts tryouts tomorrow for Track and Field. Tim and I just play chauffeur and hope that we don't miss a pick up anywhere, or that we both don't end up picking up the same kid!

Calgary is playing SanJose in Rnd1  - Oilers didn't make the playoffs nor did Vancouver. 

Fxo and Wingnut

Hey There Long Lost Travellers !

    It sure doesn't  look like your feeling any such thing like homesick !  ( where ever home might be ) .  The beer looks like its going down pretty good.  Its still pretty crazy over here. One minute its a beautiful summer day, and the next we're in another snow blizzard.  Put on my gardening gloves for the first time this year. Thanks again, I sure get a lot of use of  them!! 

Sure looks like you guys are having a blast !! Definitely a new adventure everyday. All your pics & stories are fabulous.  Its just getting to the computer cause I know I'll be here for a hour.  Still alot of hockey going on in our lives.  Jesse's very busy with Avalanche now.  I guess I won't have to worry about going downstairs much for it anymore until next year !!

   Mamma Mia was absolutely fabulous.  Definitely one of our favorites.  Missed you guys !! I guess we'll have to go to a show in Edmonton, maybe get invited for dinner, with some Baked Alaska for dessert !! ?? Sounds Entertaining!

   I'm not sure where abouts you guys are right now, but my brother & girlfriend are on a Norwegian Cruise Lines which left Barcelona, Spain on the 30th of March stopping at a few places in Italy. Today, being  Sunday, their in Dubrovnik, Croatia then Piraeus, Greece by Tuesday, Wednesday Izmir , Turkey, Thursday & Friday  Istanbul , Turkey then fly back to Van on Monday the 14th.  Would it be too funny it you ran into each other !! 

Can't remember when you get back but keep us informed. Continue smiling and having a Great Time !!

Hugs to Both !!  LM

Wow! Hard to believe it is already April 4.  Sounds like you guys have settled into "Life styles of the RIch and Famous" pretty well. 

St. Patrick's Day was a bust!  2" of snow and about -10 without the windchill, so needless to say we watched from afar like kids with their noses pressed against the cold window!

I have missed a couple long runs and am planning a 7 miler on Sunday.  Finally been able to run outside a bit as most of the snow is gone (except on the golf courses).

Big day yesterday!  Mike's electrical inspection passed and our heating guy is starting this Saturday.  Could be drywalling in a couple of weeks.  Linda has pretty much insulated the entire house by herself.....  Sore feet!

We recieved Tim's post card from Nam and yes the card games are going on, infact the last time my boss and his boss were here they commented on how they like the set of poker chips in the lunch room.  I explained that they belonged to TAG......

The Dubai pics were pretty cool to see.  I printed out the one of Tim standing by the Hotel.  Good conversation piece around the office.

Take Car you guys.

M & L

lol - dave beat me to it for the typical day aboard the Princess Calgary! Your 'house' looks great and really easy to clean! Thanks for sending us the at sea blog - it does look like there are too many choices each day, but sorry - I don't feel bad for you!  As I was walking out of the gym today and enjoying the sunshine, I was contemplating what a sabatical would feel like....  til next time!  Fxo

Healing great. Staples out. Snow today. +12 forecast. Canucks back in 8th place. ....................'bout it!   

Typical day aboard the Princess of Castlegar..... alarm somewhere between 7:15 and 9 depending on what's on TV, what cereal is in the cupboard, and whether or not Lynn is standing at the end of the bed with a rolling-pin and a can of mace! Then we don the bathrobes and sprint over the neighbours fence to sneak into their basement for showers (before they wake up). Breakfast in the lounge is always a treat... usually a choice of puffed wheat or rice crispies!  Then it's a sunny stroll around the deck... usually kicking cats off or brushing snow into the neighbours yard. I'll save the lunch and supper details for later...! 

Will be getting my golf membership in the next week or two. Heading to Idaho for a golf trip on the 14th with some boys from Nelson.  Mamma Mia was great, by the way. We agree it's the best we've seen. Great meal at the Italian Kitchen.(guess what Lynn had???) A few martini's at the Red Lion to cap off the evening.   More later.....  luv D...

Hello!  It's ironic, the day you set up your pics of Dubai, one of my workmates also did a noon hour slide show of his recent trip to Dubai and Abu Dabai. His sister-in-law moved there this summer and was teaching at the Cdn expat school until just last week when she transferred to her new job at the Cdn Embassy. They were there for a month and truly enjoyed the experience. I recognized some of your sights from his photos also.

we're having another blast of winter this weekend/week - spring is trying really hard to arrive in Calgary! I envy you your ability to wear shorts and t-shirts! 

Tim hears tomorrow if he made the Chiefs board. we've been waiting anxiously.  Otherwise life is normal here - oh and we celebrated our 18th anniversary  today! No bling but a nice dinner out last night.

I don't remember where you stop next but don't stop the blog when you finish the cruise - the stories and especially your photos have kept me going through this winter and I might get severe withdrawal when you're trip ends!!

Fxo

Hey, Nice blog L&T.

http://www.tangatanga.com/tunisiawellbeing/

Hey Tim and Linda

Your pictures have been fantastic to look at!  There is an appreciation and a respect for all life imprinted in each photo.  I can't wait to visit a few of these places myself.

Things back here are moving along as usual.  Everyone is overly optmistic about summer and every time the snow flys, sad little faces appear and ask each other when it's going to be over.  I like the winter, so I find it a little humourous to listen to.  Also, the longer the snow stays, the longer I can take removing the land mines in my back yard!   Boarding has been great and I spent a couple of days in the sun, on top of Granite.  I thought that I would put a picture of me enjoying the sun on top of Red, so you would believe me.

Anyways I can't wait to look at you next installment.
Thanks for being so dedicated to you blog. 

Jennifer

Thank you for your thoughts and feelings from India, I believe someone would have to go there to really "get it" and then some still don't.  What an experience.

Dubai, yes, all that and more.  When you wrote about the creek, finally, finally, someone will know what we mean when we speak of the New Years Eve cruise that took us up the creek, it truly was once in a lifetime 'cause we aren't billionaires either :0.  We had brunch at the "wave" beside the "Sail", and gasp at the price, but how do you repay the trip up the creek??  Our friends "showed us The Town" and I just returned when I saw your photos.

I approve of the bracelet, I can hardly wait to see it in person.  Such a keepsake.   Enjoy your days at sea,  and soak up that sun while we are still freezing here, just a bit below 0, spring time for us :).

Dawn

Dubai.......count me in next time you go??  Have you a date set up?  You must have Ireland in your sites now......well I guess a little way off.  Trevor, the man next door to us apparently can take red wine out of anything,  you'll want that out before they get home Dave and Brian both healing from their operations.  Brian on Wed.  Dave on thursday.  Our livingroom looks like a hospital ward.  Didn't realize how many remote controls one has for various things.  We have at least two of each.  Now if they can figure out how NOT to have to get up to the biffy.   Love and miss you both.

The guy from National Geographic called, he wants his pictures back.  The rug showed up also, did it come with instructions on how to get red wine out?  Awesome photos guys, everything looks amazing.  Keep on having fun!!

Wow, I am speachless... first time ever :), those photos are amazing.  The Taj Mahal, never been this close and it's unbelievable, the craftsmanship, what a loss the world has suffered when we see chipboard buildings going up today, only to last 20 years...   you can't come away without being changed I am sure.

hope you didn't eat off those street vendors,  I'm sure the level of curry would kill any bacteria !!

quite the toilets in the pilgramage shot!

I noticed the purses these chic women were carrying, Prada per chance, or maybe a knock off?

I can hardly wait for your jewellery shots.....

Dawn

Hey guys! Thanks for all of the amazing pictures. I have always wanted to go to Angkor Wat, as you well know, and now I have a better idea of the complex and how beautiful it is. Singapore also looks like it was beautiful and another stop to visit in this lifetime. Looks like you really enjoyed Thailand - are you going to become a buddhist now? Or just wear more orange? You must have so many stamps in your passport - I am so jealous!

Now you're talking, these photos are super, I'd love to visit this part of the world and spend some time, if you are ever going back to Phuket, we'll go with you.

I am looking forward to see what you saw in India,  it's a mystery to me so the mystery will be revealed when I see your photos and read your journaling.

You looked fabulous drinking the S Sling, cheers!!

Looked like you made out alright on the elephant ride Tim, gripping the water bottles :)    I will show my grands' the elephant pics this weekend,  the whole family is gathering so we will have a house full and I couldn't be happier.

Save some space in your luggage for your trip to UAE.

Enjoy, enjoy.

Dawn

Glad you are feeling better Tim.  Your pictures are amazing.  Love getting the sunset pictures!!!!!   wish we were there with you. I can't believe all the flags!  What a great job you are doing keeping us informed.   Snow just about all gone here1

Hi, you two on the other side of the world!!!!!!! What a group of interesting pics. We are enjoying the various scenes. Keep well and safe. Love G&GG.jml5y

WOw Linda and Tim, I just love reading about your journey! Thanks for all the photos, I almost feel like I have been to all these places with you :P Linda you were so brave to get the Thai Elephant massage!!! I would have been too scared the elephant would smoosh me :P Keep safe, sorry to hear that Tim was sick, glad he is all better!

-Trish

Cambodia has just made my list of 'must go to' places - my gosh what wondrous architecture and history. Tim - very glad to hear that you are up and about again!  Fxo

Thanks for Hazel's birthday e-card. They sing much better than us.

We sure enjoy your blog stories and pictures! Keep them coming.

We have been busy renovating bedrooms: paint, carpet, etc.

Tim, we hope you are recovering well.

Love,

Hazel & Ted 

get well soon Tim - sounds nasty! The whole family is enjoying your adventures with you. Sean has especially taken great interest now that you are in Asia.  Enjoy, and I'm with Lynn - send a pic of two of where you are living!  Fxo

Can't tell you how much I am enjoying this pictures and stories.  Every morning the first thing I do is check out this site.  You are doing great job informing us about your travels.  I love to see you guys in the pictures.  Makes it seem more real.  I would love to see more pictures of your home away from home tho.............what does your room look like??  Keep having fun, you soooooo deserve this.

Can hardly wait for your next newsletter.

I have a couple of questions and they are about the food.  Did you get bored with the food or do they refurbish with food from the varied locations?

I am presuming they change the menu often.  Like with different cultural dishes?  On the 10 day cruises that I was on the menu was quite varied and they probably restocked when they returned to Fort Lauderdale or Miami but they will be restocking enroute I presume.

Do they still put tons of papers under the door each day while at sea?

My nanny days are numbered I think.  Our son is telling us that break up has happened from Red Deer south and he is in Hinton now.  He'll finish the job he's on and probably be done until break up is over.  He has some exciting news in that he is being offered an incredible job due to his experience in Russia, it's a chance of a lifetime.

Things are getting busier at the shop and I am working hard not to go back, want  to keep on with my EFT, will see what happens.

Will you see the Terra Cotta Worriors?  that was always something that intrigued me. Such time consuming tasks to say nothing of the big wall.....

Oh, yes, how was the camel ride? an adverse reactions?

Take good care and see you in May.

Dawn

Hi Guys, pics are great to see.  Sounds like all is well.  Some interesting history form many of the places that you have been to.   We received the postcard at the reload.  "Good times", unfortunately Ken, Anthony and Dave 2 are all on to greener pastures.  We have been training hard and Linda and I are in the 5K St. Patrick's Day walk/run.  I did my 6 miler yesterday and it went well.  Haven't ran outside yet but hoping the weather will cooperate this week.

Have fun in China!

Mike & Linda

My Iwo Jima story....I have a vial of the black sand from Iwo Jima in my china cabinet..lol...my brother-in-law is a former U.S. Marine and he spent about 6 months there about 17 years ago.  He brought back the sand for Ken as a souvenir!

Cheers,

Marcella

Love the stories and pictures!  Actually, I've been sharing with people here in the office at Mountain FM - Val is very jealous!

Looking forward to more!  Cheers! 

Marcella

Ha Ha! The Shrubbery! Make sure it looks nice... and not too expensive! Ni! I just couldn't resist. So are you going to try the Fugu in Japan this time? We miss you terribly, but it was wonderful to talk to you on the phone. Keep up the wonderful pictures - Domo origato!

Hey Aunt L and Uncle T,

Sounds like your having a fantastic time.. Let the kids know that I say Hello!!

Hi guys!  Wow, so many amazing places and things to do and see. It's really great to hear how much you're enjoying the trip. We just got back from a week down in Wash. Went to visit Tim's Seattle Hockey family. Marvin says Hello! Boys did some snowmobiling and had a blast. Keep on blogging - I am really enjoying it all!  F&T

snow is melting fast, just might have to go to Osoyoos and golf, great pictures and I can sure tell your having a great holiday!!!

Hello.  So Tim what did you get Linda for valentines?  Or was the trip a part of the present?  Keep it PG too...Hehe..

Thanks for the updates on your travels. however I must ask I thought Australia had more than rocks??  lol..I will make it there one day.  So I guess your only done a month of your travels?  Two more to go!  I just got back from Bucerius which is 20min north of Puerto Vallarta, it was a blast. Just so happened that my recent boyfriend happened to be there with his family, it was one way to bring in a new relationship...really in paradise what could go wrong?  Except for the part of drinking way too much Tequila..really think I am done with the stuff..lol. 

Oh Linda is that pigtails I see you wearing with you hair..or is it really long in the back? Wish you safe travels always..

Love Chantel

I've been looking for those boots.  Looks ike you are having way more fun than I am in tornado alley.  Definately some "tres cool" pics, do you ever go to the beach and just relax?  Keep on enjoying it!!

See.........  it wasn't "just a rock"!!!  I'm REALLY jealous but very envious. You're seeing some really cool stuff. How's my t-shirt collection coming??? Need some cash? I'll check Lynn's purse.  I always thought kangaroo tasted like spotted owl...... or baby seal.... or snow leopard.!!  Yummy if you can get it!!!  (jeez, just kidding!!!)   No worries... cheers...... D.

Wow, your Australia pictures are beautiful!  Great pictures of the hock and owl.  I thought I would send you a picture of a lion and me in NY. 

Ciao,  Fayant

We are really enjoying OUR trip with you. We are quite familiar with PNG as we have four families in PNG as missionaries there who are from the St.Thomas area.Keep healthy.  Looking to hear from you soon.Love Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tim and Linda

Awesome to be able to see your travels and read about the amazing things you are seeing.  Next I am pulling up a map to see the areas you mentioned,  

Just so you know it is lovely here in Spruce Grove, sunny and blue sky, ....almost 0......lovely.

Nice to hear form you guys again.  We think of you often when the weather is not sonice here in Edmonton....... Oh that's been ever since you left.  Had a bad spell for the last couple of weeks -48 with the wind chill one day! Ouch.

Sounds like you had some fun with Jean and the fish story was pretty interesting.  I would imagine you were wondering if it was ever going to end?

Take care and chat soon.

Mike

Feb. 11

Good day.  Thanks again for the great story of your journey.  I was wondering how you made out with the storm,  glad all was well, that's all the bad weather you will have.

YOu both look tanned and well.  Good to see.  Please keep including pic's of yourselves as well as destinations.

Hope you received my pages of tapping points for various conditions, will help your cold too. Just out of curiosity, did you get your cold about the time of Jean's wild ride?

Things are going well here.  I am off shortly to Red Deer to see my dear babies, they have started to really give us smiles and are cooing away.  It is such an incredible feeling to have them respond, they are so precious.

Next time I may have some spectacular news to share with you, it's a little premature today but by next week we should be celebrating.....  love to keep you in suspense :)

Keep on taking good care of one another.  Savor the flavor

Dawn

Mexico was awesome!!  Dave got sick tho and we had to use the medical services!!  What's a resort if you can use all the facilities?  Dr. there diagnosed him with ecoli and gave him a couple of shots and some antiobiotics......still not better when we got home......to emerg and viola gall bladder! waiting for a surgeon.

Have a great day.  Hopefully the boat has quit rockin and rollin!

Love watching your adventures.........you are in our thoughts all day wondering what you are up to at that moment.   Thanks for all your hard work writing the stories and adding the pictures.  You are amazing!!

The happy birthday picture to Dave picture was an especially nice touch.  I LOVE the sunset pictures.

Miss you guys.

Hi Tim and Linda

You guys have no idea how jealous I am that you're there...and we're here wallowing in upteen inches of *^%*() snow!!!!  AND, you have NO IDEA how BP is just NOT THE SAME without you!  You are sorely missed! 

Cheers, Marcella

Hey guys! Love all the pics - Easter island was amazing! So jealous! I'm sure that all of us northerners will give a collective groan when the pictures from Tahiti come up! Have you tried any ethnic food yet Tim! I want pictures of that fo' sho!

Hi Tim and Linda,

Made it in, I know longer have to stand aside:)

Great pictures, how can you not have fun..enjoy to the fullest.

Jake

Hey Tim and Linda

Thought we would drop you a little line to let you know we are thinking about you.  Loved the pix of Easter Island, they have been my favorite so far!  Things are finally starting to warm up in FSJ, we are reaching a daytime high of minus 25 instead of the minus 33 of last week.  Time to break out the beach wear!  It sure looks like you guys are having the time of your lives on the cruise.  Every couple of days we bring the kids down to follow your progress on the map.  Everytime you reach a new destination, we wrap a string around the flag at that location following your progress.  We are thinking of you guys often.

Love, Jenn, Kevin, Gillian, and Linley

Hey Guys, Jenn has a big paper cut and couldn't work the keyboard!  The pix of Easter Island were my favorite so far.   Linley sounds cute as a button when she tries to pronounce MOAI!!  Finally starting to warm up here, only -25 during the day now instead of -33.  Before we look at your pictures we alway make sure that we put on our beach wear and imagine we are there with you!

Lots of love, Jenn, Kevin, Gillian, and Linley

I hope you are having fun. Just a bit of good news- it has almost been three weeks since my last cigarette.

Hi from the 'deep freeze' in Alberta!  Very envious of you two just now  -   We are really enjoying the photos and the history of your stops. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us and we hope that Tim found some affordable TP!! lol

Fxo

Nice to hear its warm where you are because Mike says it was -46 at the reload today and the giraffe would'nt run Reg said to trade it in for a Polar Bear before he started it. I discovered  stapleing house wrap is dangerous, Justin got off lucky when you got him Tim, as my nail is cracked 3 places and my finger is very purple won't be a gel nail on that one for a few months. Am waiting in anticipation for info on your next warm....... destination.

Mike and Linda

Hi Guys,

Hope you are having a great trip!!!! We tried to keep the Sun out while we were cruising. Keep in touch, we just got back on Saturday, good holiday

Len & Brenda Fergie

I really want to see pictures of Easter Island.  I read the most fascinating story about the history of this tragic place and the monoliths are supposed to be staggeringly impressive.

COntinue living your dream and stay in touch.

oops I mean Linda and Tim! (you brothers and your linda wives lol)

Hey Linda and Mike,

   Love the photos! Thanks for bring us along for the trip with you ;) You'll be happy to know it's -20 in Edmonton with a light snow :P Is it still too late for me to come with you, I'm sure Dr. Burns can manage the office without me lol

We are enjoying your blog and pictures. Thanks for sharing your holiday with us.

Happy Belated Birthday to Linda!!! 

Looks like you had a good cake.

Looking forward to more of your stories and photos.

Love,

Ted & Hazel

Wow!!  It's so great to hear about your adventure!  Wishing you both a safe journey and I look forward to hearing more from you and all the great pics!!

Cheers!

Marcella 

Looks like fun you guys ! Needless to say we wish we were there, we will keep visiting, nice updates.

Cheers, Scott and all the gang at BMO Nesbitt Burns.

Happy Birthday wishes! Love the Galapagos photos! The clarity and colour are fantastic - the birds are amazing and the Red Sally Foot crab is beautiful. Can't wait to see Easter Island - glad to 'see' and hear how fabulous your trip is going! Fxo

Hey you two!!  Wow have I mentioned how jelous I am of you..lol school work just isnt the same as travelling. I am so glad you two are having a great time.  Love the pictures of the seals..especially the one with the mama and the baby.  I will keeping a close eye on your travels...when you two get back and school is done perhaps I will have to make a trip to where you are and exchange stories..like we had meant to.

Anyways thinking of u lucky suntanned bums..

Love Chantel

We finally got logged on, what a trip!!  enjoyed all the pictures. We keep waiting for the one with Lindas BIG feet.Not much new on the house our shingler showed up and changed his price so he went home. So the job may still be yours when you get back, should be easy with a Man Lift!!!

.Take Care and happy birthday Linda

Now that's more like it!!  Loved looking at the pictures and what a photographer you are!   Your stories are fascinating.  Thanks for keeping us up to date.  You look like you are having fun.

Good pictures. Looking for more.

Hi! Just read your notes and looked at your Panama photos! What wonderful pics! Looks like you're getting to see more than the usual tourist stops! And PLEASE invite me to the 700 slide show of the Galapagos !! - it is on my must see list and I don't think I'll make it before the boys finish university! Blog on! Fxo

So apologies are in order. I finally figured out how to read your messages. They don't appear on the main screen, but on a sidebar - so it looked like you werent sending anything out! Hope you're having a great time! F xo

OK, I know that you are much too busy to write about all of your adventures, but a few more photos wouldn't hurt! I need to live vicariously through you guys (odd that, living vicariously through your parents). Tried any guinea pig yet?

We've been checking your blog everyday - waiting to hear all the exciting news about your trip!  Guessing that you are having too much fun to want to do anything that might resemble some work!  Be glad that you're not in AB - it's cold!!!  The Ziolas

Still looking for some flags?????  Are you still in Canada??  I suppose you are much to busy to keep us informed eh   How many books did you take?  Hope this finds you having a great time. 

Lotsa love.

Jan 1st... Happy packing! and New Year. and remember Newton's third law of thermodynamics............. (or something important sounding like that...)  for every action there is a positive and opposite re-action. I think of this often when I'm in the bathroom. I say this as a positive message as you pack and unpack your undies!!!  To save space... go commando!!  ( and send us the pictures!!!)... Love, D.

Happy New Year Tim and Linda!!!  Only 8 more days for you.  We are so happy, proud and excited and yes maybe just a tad Jealous.  Have fun in Fort St. John.  Hi to Kevin, Jen and girls.  Oh yeah Diane and Trevor too .  Will talk to you just before you go.

Lots of love from your wine drinking buddies.
