howdy my favorite travelers! I'm loving the blog...I keep hitting refresh to see if there's anything new, so go ahead- add me to the email update list too. Count me in! Life is great in texas...my belly has now surpassed Glenn's, he's very pleased to announce. I'm going to guess I'm having a sumo wrestler too. He's starting to kick and punch a lot. Other than an ice storm that shut down austin for an entire week, thats all the excitement here! Stay in touch! JJ

Bev and Sean - Wow! What a great update (1/23). We learned a lot. We hope you are as detailed again next time.

Hi Everyone! We are back from our trek in Northern Thailand. We'll be posting an update soon. Thanks for all the great messages! Cheers, Bev and SEan

Hey there you two wild and crazy kids! I have just caught up on all your adventures and all I can say is man, am I jealous! You are in the midst of the experience of a lifetime and I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to read more. Definately add me to the list to receive emails when you post a new message. All is well in B'more. Isabelle and Lily are doing well. I just met another baby who is the same size as Lily and he's 9 months old. Speaking of Sumo wrestlers... Love you two! Rach

Hey guys! Hope you're having a blast! Love reading all about your travels. I think of you as the Amazing Race team I'm rooting for. Too bad there's no $1m at the end of your trip :-) Speaking of Phil & company, thought you'd like to know that Amazing Race 11 - the All Stars - starts in a few weeks. Among other teams who are in - The Barbies! Also Dave & Mary (WV), Rob & Amber, Myrna & Smryna, Joyce & Uchenna, Terry & Bill. I think they went to Thailand - too bad you missed them :-) Hope to hear from you soon!

Well, tell us more. Firstly, how are you both feeling? Did you go on the Elephant ride? Do you have everything you came off the elephant with? Did you go white water rafting? Hiking? How is the weather there? How hot? Where are you staying now? Hey, Hje good to read your message. It is about time. How is little Ella doing? Sean and Beverly let us know what is next. Lots of hugs, kisses. Be well and be careful. Love you both to pieces. Zoopsi and Popsey

(accidentally hit submit on previous message)... As I was saying, I have learned more about your friends and relatives in reading the previous posts than I ever knew. By the way, billg spellchecker is a jerk. Hi Rachel:) It sounds like your trip is going well. I was inspired by you asking us where you should go next. Let's either make it a game in which audience participation truly determines your next destination. Or better yet, give us trivia questions about your location and the winner will receive an all expenses paid trip to join you on the next leg. Your trip to the market inspired me to get a piece of rare tuna at dinner the other night. Have a nice time. H, J, E

We just discovered this portion of the site - very cool. I think I learned more about your friends and relative

Hey guys. Good luck up North. I hope you guys have a great time and are able to find a room. If not head out to the jungle and sleep with the Elephants. :) The sledding was great for the two days it lasted. It's great reading your journals and seeing pictures. Hugs, Joshua, Maggie, Debbie and Brian

I love the stories. Almost makes me feel like I am there and a little jealous as you are in my childhood stomping ground.... I am looking forward to hearing more....
