casey ewwww... the agony of coming back eh? Sounds like such good times- you crazy kids

amanda jones Wow Renel! It sounds like you had an amazing, eventful, and memorable time! I am so happy that you were able to enjoy your experience! You totally deserve it! Travel safe & Welcome home! Love, Amanda J

Ingrid It is too bad that you do not have more time in England. The southwest countryside is gorgeous! There are even some surf towns you can explore in the midst of all those castles! Stonehenge is quite a sight...if you have the time you should see it. Just the drive there alone will give you a better perspective of England. Have a great time on your last leg Renel!

Ursula Amsterdam sounds super fun and beautiful! I'm excited to hear about London, too. Are you ready to come home yet?

jenny So glad to see your photos! I have really been enjoying traveling vicariously thru u, especially as I look for a job and a home and all of that. I think I have the job nailed down, it's the home that is the hard part. Take care! Hugs.

Tawni Pretty cool Renel, pretty cool.

Marci Hey, Shoshie and I spent some time in Haarlem too when we were visiting Amsterdam. Cool! I'm stoked you're having a good time over there.

April Hi Love! Isn't Amsterdam where our GENIUS Prez Bush got hit by a bike? Haha! Hey, there's a place where you can rent a BAR on a bike! Heres the link-its hilarious! http://www.fietscafe.nl/engels/index.html There are all kinds of bikes-a wedding bike, etc. More pics here: http://jamesonthecanal.blogspot.com/2007/01/bar-on-bike.html Luv u! Ben will bring the car to the airport as soon as you get in, just call him when you get in and he'll drive it over. luv, ape

Ingrid Becker Hearing about your travels through Amsterdam brings back so many fond memories. I spent most every year of my childhood in Amsterdam and England. I love how you have done such a great job describing your adventures. I can't wait to hear more! Have fun out there Renel! PS. Don't forget to try the Patat Frites (french fries with the peanut sauce and mayo on them) and stroopwaffles!!!

Mama Kisses to my daughter! Be sure and get yourself at least one little gift to remember your trip by besides all your beautiful pictures. You have such a good eye for photography! Nice subject choices and perspectives on them! One snap wonders! I seriously need to cut back! I have been traveling through movies; The Cave of the Yellow Dog, The Weeping Camel (Both from Mongolia) and Children of Heaven (From Iran) Lovely. We love you. Take good care and have fun! Mama

Terry What a cool trip. I am so jealous! You and Katie are having the trip of a lifetime. Those pictures are great. There is such rich history in those old buildings. Enjoy the rest of your time. Katie put away the PT book!

Wendy Wow, it was great to see all your pictures and listen to your sweet video, Renellie! You must be pretty tired - what a trip. Such beautiful nature!! I can hear your voice when I read your blogs - you're so funny. Lots of love

Dottie Hope you are enjoying the motherland. Have you seen many of my spotted relatives? Love, Dottie

Robby Hey Girls! It was fun reading about your adventures. I pray for your safety and hope you enjoy every second. I'm laying low at home w/ the family and love it. Can't wait to hear about the next adventure. Are you w/ Katie Clark? If so tell her hello! Watch out for chess playing guys in speedos, those guys are dangerous. Check mate takes on a whole new meaning.

Tawni Helen - It sounds like a wonderful time you've been having! The blog/site was a good idea, a good way to keep us all posted:-) Enjoy your trip and then make plans to visit me when you get home please. Love ya, tj
