Kiley Well Mel, less than a month to go. I hope the rest of your trip is amazing! Can't wait to see you! Kiley 

Melissa Hey Linds,  Your pics from South America are amazing - I am sooo jealous! (althoug I guess I can't be THAT jealous)  Can't wait to see you at Christmas - M to the L reverse reunite!  Then I guess it is time to plan a wedding....yay!  Love Melissa

Lindsey Hey chica!! So Mitch and I made it to Ecuador.  Has been great so far, although the air takes a bit of chewing here in Quito (just a bit of pollution).  Managed to straddle the equator today, that was pretty cool.  Hope you guys are enjoying Nam.  Say hi to Ben for me.  Ciao.  We are off to a Salsoteca tonite....although we may just be spectators!

Andrea heya!!! i'm so looking forward to see you guys then, can't wait to get my tickets in my hands! so I'll keep you guys updated on my plans.... you have a good time, have fun!! much luv

Melissa HI Guys  Thanks so much for your messages.  It is good to know that I haven't been totally forgotten back home!  We are still in Cambodia now but will head to Vietnam on Saturday. While I will be teary - eyed to leave the Cambodia, the people are so amazing, Vietnam should  be just as wonderful.  Thanks again for all your well wishes and I can't wait to see you guys at Christmas - only 2 months!  (except you Andrea, I will see you when you com to Canada because you DEFINITELY are!) Miss you Love Melissa Ps, Aunty Jo, I will definitely be thinking of you guys over thanksgiving, and will try to phone on Sunday.  Good to hear Randi and Riley are doing well and I can't wait to see all you guys over xmas.  I think we should be able to see Jimmy at the beginning of December and hopefully even meet with Justin and Ashley!  Thanks for the info. 

Coralee Mel Happy to hear you are safe. I have to admit at times I was a little worried. I have seen your mom twice already for hygiene appointment and we have both decided that we are ready for you to come home. I have been checking your sparce postings and understand you must be occupying most of your time with your never-dull escapades. Your last posting about you helping the children of Cambodia really touched me. However, I had to chuckle at the sight of you on a little scooter carrying a bag of rice the same size of you. Actually another hygienist and I have looked into going to Vietnam for a month or two after Christmas to help out with a pilot project volunteering dental services to children. Still have to see if it takes off and have so much fundraising to do. Enjoy the rest of your visit in Cambodia. Be sure to let me know what Vietnam is like. Savour every moment Can't wait to see you when you get back, Love Cor

Kiley Hey Mel! Glad to hear you are safe and having a great time. Keep us posted on your adventures! They sound amazing. Can't wait to see you in December! Love, Kiley

Andrea heyhey, it's soundz awesome where you guys been up too!! like an totally different amazing little world....... probably should pop over by myself sometime and have a look!! so guys defenetly have a good info for you, hopefully - i will come to canada, now for sure! around February - March - so looking forward to it.... luv ya 

Aunty Jo Hi Sweetie - awesome message - I almost felt like I was there with you I am so proud of you and what you are doing.  Good job.  Uncle Glen, Gramma and I are going to Lloydminster for the Thanksgiving weekend, we haven't been there for so long.  The weather is still pretty decent so we will take our golf clubs and hopefully get in a game or two b4 the snow flies.  It froze pretty hard last night and we can feel the chill in the air in the mornings but by afternoon we almost forget that winter is coming.   Randi and Riley are both doing great - Randi will be home for Christmas so we are really looking forward to that - she didn't make it home at all this summer so it has been a year since we've seen her.  Riley is still working and enjoying his time in Saskatoon.  He bought his house in March and has room mates plus the basement suite rented out so he is living pretty nicely with little or no rent payments of his own.  His girlfriend Erin is in Saskatoon now taking Engineeering at U of S so that is pretty sweet.  He "retired" from drumming for Johnny Guitar as they were looking for more of a time commitment than he was interested in making.  Anyway, all is well here and we are looking forward to seeing you when you return home.  Jim Gullickson is going to be in Thailand from Nov 26/06 on and would love to connect with you his email address is [email protected].  Justin Schumacher (Brian and Leeannes's son - he is 21 or 22 ???) and his girlfriend Ashley are planning on going to Thailand sometime soon.  I am not sure of his email address but the family address is [email protected].  It may be fun to connect with them if possible.  They spent most of 2005 in Australia and  ???. Well I better run - love you lots.  Keep safe and keep happy.  Aunty Jo

Sheen Hey Mel....I loved your Cambodia stories. I wish I could've been there with you to experience everything. Sounds like you are still having a blast. Looking forward to December when I get to see you again! Have fun, be safe! Sheenah

Lee Elliott Hi Melissa, I'm glad you were safe in Thailand and the Cambodia adventures sound incredible. I'm especially happy that the hokey pokey is being passed on to future generations. Enjoy every bit of the journey. Love--lee

Michelle Melissa, Good stuff on the Cambodia advenutre!  I would love to be there again and see how it is.  Take lots of pictures so you can remember your time forever, and take your time!  You still have another couple months to go you lucky duck! I am in Chicago learning about "critical conversations" and "presentation skills".... It's a great city though, and I have been here so long I almost feel like I live here!  Take care and be careful about the meat in Vietnam..... they aren't buddhists...  Michelle

Melissa Hey  Just in case anybody still checks this thing.  Just wanted to mention that although there has been a lot of stuff (bombings, military coups) happening in Thailand lately it has not effected me or my travels as of yet and I am perfectly safe and ok. Love Melissa

Melissa hey Guys Thanks for the updates, good to know some people still check this thing! Still living the dream in Australia but head to Asia on Friday. Not much else to report am quite broke so did some work in Brisbane and am doing a lot of lying on the beach (hey its free!). Relatively pointless post but just wanted to say thanks for writing. Love Melissa
