Donna V Hi Michaela,Donder, here!  I've been trying to contact you for a long time.  I can't believe we've been apart since NGRHS.  How are you guys?  Congrats on married life (which is very long overdue...)I've been on Facebook, and found your website address on one of the profiles - your website is great, by the way.  Looks as though you have had lots of adventures.  My "sister-in-law" and her new husband have been seeing a lot of the same things you and Joel have - they started in Korea teaching Engligh, and then were home for Christmas 04, then travelled the Asia & Europe during 05 and 06.  Now they are living in Dubai (UAE).  So I am familiar with a lot of the places you've been.  Drop me a line sometime - I think I added you to my friends list on Facebook.  I would love to catch up with you, even though we've probably grown apart.  Missed you at Nicole and Randy's wedding! 

Patricia Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I've been such a terrible friend because this is the first time I've written to you guys in almost a year.  It looks like you had a great time travelling and I'm so jealous!  So what are your plans for here on out?  I have my own news... Seb and I are finally engaged!!!!  I know it's about time!  We would love to see you guys when you have some free time so send me an e-mail.

martin Hi guys!It's Martin here. The Swedish "Kids in the hall" fan from My Phangan Resort! ;)Glad to see that everything went well with the rest of your trip. Furthermore I hope that you feel relaxed and enjoy being back home.Me myself, I'm starting to feel restless now and I'm trying to convince my friends here to go to Thailand this summer.Joel: Red Wings are looking really good this season. My prediction is Detroit or Nashville for Stanley Cup this year.

brendan hi joel and micheala,  brendan and erin here, just wishing you well.  We;re still in wellington for another week then we bum around the rest of the country until march when we go onto australia then thailand.  If you have any good stories about places to go or tips give me a shout on my cell 64211888702  or email cause its cheaper and i dont always have the cell around cause it never gets used.  no point calling someone when all your friends live on the same floor as you.  only 3 months left in our trip we;re meeting brian in europe before we go home for a few weeks and ben is getting married on the 13th of february.  live long and prosper.  love you both, but micheala more cause your ugly  hope i run into you soon dude, may stop by the east cost and head accross canada on my way back. one never knows.

Mandy Wow. Great pics guys! I don't know which one of you took the flower pictures, but they look professional. The flowers are perfectly centred and focussed. Post-card perfect!

Bev Rowter Hi Michaela & Joel....it's hard to believe that you're nearing the end of this fantastic trip.  Are you spending any time in N.S. before heading up to Ottawa?  We'd all love to see you!   Fit us in when you can.  Enjoy the remainder of your trip!   Love Aunt Bev & Uncle Dan

Mom Selig The countdown to your return is on!! I can hardly wait to give and get the hugs I've been missing. Arriving in Nova Scotia on Feb 19th???Love you both....Mom

Mandy Sounds like you're having fun in the sun! Lucky! Hey Michaela, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this to you yet, but we had a visit from Rachelle Laplaine on the 22nd (BTW Merry Christmas and Happy New Year) and she told us she was 3 months pregnant! This from the woman who said just last year that they weren't ready and wanted to wait a while. She said they decided to start trying and it happened a heck of a lot faster than they expected. She's due early July (the 3rd or 4th - can't remember) and would like to know the sex so I imagine we'll get that news in the next little while. Have fun on the rest of your trip. Looking forward to seeing you again.P.S. Work's not that scary. :D

Marielle Hey guys!Just wanted to wish you a belated merry Christmas and happy new year! Got back to work today after a 10 day vacation in NB...not so easy this Tuesday morning! Take care and enjoy the beach, I'm super jealous!

Aunt Laura and Uncle Gary Hi Guys,Just read your last update. It sounds great fun for the most part. Sorry to hear about you losing your beautiful purse Michaela. I had that happen in Sao Paulo. It was a fav. bag of mine from Kenya. Hope your Dad has arrived and you all had a great Christmas. We are in Winnipeg. The weather is great. The boys are growing by leaps and bounds. Cheryl is in Ghana enjoying the sunshine before heading up to Cambridge Bay. Best Wishes to all the family. Look forward to hearing more updates.Blessings forthe New Year,Aunt Laura ,for the family 

Howard It's Christmas Eve here in Hantsport. Wendy and I are here with Mom, John and Leland. No snow and 8+C. Beautiful green Christmas. Great for eating and then walking off the excess. Greg, Wendy wants you to remember to bring her a "not-a-white" rock from a beach. Happy Christmas from all of us. With love.

Nicki Hi guys;  Quick update...Dad is now stranded in Malaysia and will meet you at the resort as soon as he can coordinate flights (seems many are full).  He expects to be with you by the 23rd, for sure.  Love you.  Talk to you soon!  N.

Matthew Spooner Hey Michaela and Joel. It was fantastic seeing you in Hong Kong. I've been looking at some of your photos from your travels across the globe. They're great! They make me wish I could take a nice long extended holiday. Aviva say hello. The two of us are off to Calgary this week to spend Christmas and New Year's with my family there. All the best and chat soon.
