shirley I can feel your anxiousness watching that guy stagger toward your car, that would be creepy. On the other hand, watching those kittens playing would be a nice sight to fall asleep on. Good blog, Linds, looking forward to more. Love you xo

Jessica Heintz I'm so freaking jealous! I would've freaked out about the monkey haha (in a good way though because monkeys are freaking cute) I'm glad you are in paradise and enjoy the hot weather! :) I'll be expecting you to be tan as s*** the next time i'm in Calgary! LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TONS! You are my rock and my bae. No one can replace you and I hope you know that! Have fun on your vacation and I can't want to read more about it! <3

gramma Lindsay, you're an amazing 'journalist', I love the descriptions you give. The shrimp dishes sound awesome (Grampa doesn't care for them), and I'm glad you found your favourite store. Sure hope your Mom's feet aren't still hurting, or at least not as much. Looking forward to more..... xo

Guy Always fun to read about your adventures Lindsay. :)

Gramma I'm glad you're doing this, Lindsay. Your blogs are always interesting and I'm imagining I'm there with you, as you describe it all. Have fun!!!! xo

Lloyd Petrick Thank you Lindsay, it has been wonderful to follow your escapades throughout your travels . You have kept us informed and entertained us with your excellent writing abilities, and as mentioned before you could very easily become a travel endorsement agent and do follow up blogs along the way . They were very good , and I look forward to hearing more from your future travels. Thank you very much, give our love to your family as well . Again thank you so much !!

barbara Cool!!!

Barbara well....welcome home! I guess this opens up a whole new world for you Lindsay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts along the way. Now it is time for you to relax and take some time with your family around you. They love you so much!!! I am grateful that they asked Real to take you along this journey. I am sure he tried his best to make it memorable for you and himself. I have also grown in this past month without Real being around with some help along the way with friends and family to help me through! I think change is good for all if we just except the challenge that goes with it! I am looking forward to Real coming back home and celebrating Jahra's Birthday and out 25th Anniversary together!!!! All the best to you and your family Lindsay......and a speedy recovery for Roma! I am filled with graditude....Thanks! Love, Barbara

Paige Yeah, definitely brings back lots of memories. The story of the Chinese Australian reminds me of the time Dad & I were in Scotland. A commercial came on with two women in full Geisha dress but they spoke with this super broad Scottish accent. It was so odd!

Karin Downey You're gorgeous. I love your new birthday song! Isn't it fun to extend your birthday? Yes, you know me, I take every opportunity! Love you Linds, see you soon! And thank you for the postcard!!

Roma If I put that much focus and appreciation in everything I see do, I would't get past the mirror in the morning.

Kari Loooove this photo! How perfect, this birthday. Looking so forward to seeing you- what I would give to see a video of you and Real at the Karaoke bar!!

Lloyd Petrick wonderful Blog again and the picture is fantastic. Again Happy Birthday Lindsay!!

Roma It's really quite odd, I am not allowed to drink green tea for the first time in my life. And you are drinking so much for the first time in your life.

Roma Happy Birthday again! You LOOK LIKE A GEISHA! Wow what an experience on your BD. You are on the home stretch now. Be seeing you soon. Received the post card from Chinzan-so today. Was mailed on the 12th of October.
