Hello! Don't worry- I was far away from the cyclone. It was way up north- the area was pretty hard hit. 85% of Australia's banana crop was destroyed. But fortunately the death numbers were pretty low.

Danielle - sounds like a big vacation to me!!
Have you been effected by the hurricane????
Hope you were at the other end of the island when it hit!!

Tried calling your cell today and got a message that your cell wont accept incoming calls? Call us when you get a chance!

OMG!!!!!!!! I see youre not afraid of heights! Rock climbing looks so YOU! Great pictures and a view you'd never see from the ground!! What fun.

Just checking your board - will go back and catch up on your journal & photos - hope all is going well Aunt Kathy

HI Danielle!

Amazing pictures and I am glad you are having such a wonderful time! Yay for all the wildlife and beaches, makes me jealous, haha. Things are well here, just had midterms this past week, but this weekend should be relaxing. One of my housemates broke her ankle a week ago so we are helping her get around, luckily the snow is not so bad. Stevo will be in town this weekend, we are going out to eat. And I've still been seeing Mike every weekend (this weekend he is babysitting kids from his church) : ) Miss you!

love, Katie K

Loved the wild ROOOS! And of course the horse sighting. Cant wait for the next updates from your latest adventures! I will tell Uncle that you got him a boomerang! Only 34 more days and I will see you :) We went skiing this weekend and it was the best. Hard packed snow and warm for this time of the year 30's! Went to Harvey's for a late dinner. He is selling the place as his wife is sick and they want to spend more time together. Went to church this AM and was teary eyed when we sang "Shine Jesus Shine" becuase it reminded me of my beautiful girl and how fortunate I am to have such joy in my life. Kenny is coming home from Iraq 4/7 and I will see him just as I am leaving. I am sending him and Jeff to Panama City for Jeff's grad present and Kenny's welcome home. Jeff will have to miss a few days of school but I figure him and Kenny need some male bonding time and Peggy agrees. Jeff is going to see if others want to come too. Going to ride in a little bit with Dinna and April. Donna's son had lived in CA and moved back to NY a few weeks ago. Her daughter in law may try riding today. It is briallant and sunny and a bit cold- going to ride behind our house and into evergreens. Cant wait. Went to DiCamillo's for donuts and got punski's! YUMMY. Today was my cheat day. Sara wrote about your dorm room for next year. Check your emails. LOVE AND MISS YOU.

Hey you!! The pictures are beautiful and it sound like you are having a good time. We miss you sooooo much. Can't wait until you get back, but in the mean time, have a good time and don't forget the boomarang for Uncle!!!

Hey Danielle!
You sound great, look great, and so do all the wonderful places and things you are getting to see! (insert jealousy here) I'm sooooo glad you went abroad - it has so much potential to change your life, and I'm sure it will. Keep writing updates, I'll be reading them! Love your pictures, especially the ones with the trees! Keep taking pictures of neat trees, and don't forget to learn some species for me while you're down there!
Much happiness from Ithaca, where there is 6 inches of snow and today the temperature didn't rise above 30. :)

Dannielle,

I spoke with the folks this morning and they tipped me off to your web site. I'm really glad that you are having a great experience and that you are interested in the Poland short term mission with Pastor Moberly. If you can work out the details with East European Ministries we might be able to have the church provide some funding. Keep me posted so I can do the necessary follow up.
