Alicia Soooo??? Where are you guys these days? Doesn't the morthwest of the good ole U.S of A deserve an update/photo or two?? :)

Will So guys, what ARE you going to do now that you're back? :) I think you should add "Call Will" to the list of things. Or maybe you don't like phones. Perhaps "Visit Will" would be better. Welcome back!

Stacey Poon-Kinney Welcome back! I was flipping pancakes (and burgers and sausage and and and) thinking of you two a few days ago. Happy to hear that a new adventure is unfolding stateside, with new perspective and as always, lots of heart. Miss you both. Call us when (if :-) you head to Cali.

Aaron & Liz Hello everyone, Thank you all for the kind words....and just to clarify, the bit about getting asked "whattayagonnado?" was just a reality then and still now...but, that doesn't mean that we don't want to talk to our friends and family about our trip! we welcome all your curiosity and love for us with open arms! We didn't aim to "scare" anyone off...and thank you all once again! much love, a & l p.s. good to hear from you Brown, we'll be in touch and glad to hear you're happy!

Chris Brown I just finished reading Aaron's most recent "rant" and my first thought was genuinely, "The country is better with you and Liz in it." Since I did actually read and understand the nature of the rant, that initial reaction was quickly supplanted by the following thought: The WORLD is better with you two in it. I hope that I get to see you two sometime in the not-too--distant future. My life is great these days, but I miss you both tremendously.

Mom & Dad ....and China to see us!

Tom Gelwicks Your last letter really ties together many of the elements of your great trip, which is an inspiring achievement. Thanks for allowing us a chance to travel with you over many months. Welcome back and best wishes for the year ahead.

Alicia & Andy Welcome back! Glad you are both safe and can't wait to hear your voices!

Alicia Damn---missed the birthday! Happy Birthday! Can't wait to see your smiling faces or hear your voices tell of your travels! Keep safe!

lia hi guys! so nice to see all the smiley photos! happy belated birthdays and anniversary! can't believe all the rainbow shots - seems like you already found the pot o gold. starting to wonder if you will ever return to the port. hope you do, b/c we certainly miss you around here!! we are finally starting to have slightly warmer temps -flowers are popping up everywhere. perhaps by the time you return, i will have semi-settled into the new condo on congress. need liz's landscaping touch for the back yard! travel safe! btw, congrats to chris brown.

2nd stool from the grill Great sunset pic's on flight north.So the city of good air is humid,amazing colonial buildings in BA.After seeing Iguazu on pbs your pic's are fab,only thing missing was the sound bet you could hear the falls from quite a distance.The snake sign would have done it for me.OH happy birthday to both,travel safe
