I am glad to hear that you two are doing well. I was getting a little worried. But, I know you can take of yourself. Lounging and surfing sounds like fun to me. It is better than going to work. Enjoy it while you can. It looks so beautiful there. And very hot. Better than here. It is about 33 degrees and windy here in WV. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 38 and we are supposed to have snow flurries and wind. YUCK! Take care. :)

I hope all is well. The weather here has been less than beautiful accept for yesterday for about half the day. I hope that you made to Australia without any trouble. Things are going pretty good here for me. Just keeping busy. Getting ready for me trip in February. Too much to plan for. Keep everyone posted on your whereabouts. Take care. :)

Jealousy, envy...... can't begin to describe what I'm feeling. Outside of shear delight that you are in the part of the world that you are. NZ sounds amazing and I'm excited to hear about the rest of your travels as well. You are going to absolutely love Thailand. I traveled by bus for the most part except when I needed to get from north to south in a hurry. It was airplane then and it wasn't too expensive. Bear in mind that this was six years ago. I know a lot has changed there since then. Please email me if you have any questions about the place. Anyway, glad, really glad, that you both found a great partner in eachother and are having a blast together. Take care, safe travels and I'll be skiing my bum off for ya. Lots o' love!

Well, I hope you two made it ok to Australia. The weather here has been very odd. Yesterday it was 35 degrees and snowing and then this morning (which I get up at 5:30 a.m. to get a fresh start) the sky was so beautiful and it is supposed to be almost 60 degrees today and then in the 60's this weekend. I hope you are having good weather there. Take care of yourself and be careful. No more twisting ankles and crawling through brush and by no means no sleeping along side the road in your car. Crazy girl! Talkto you soon. :)

Please be careful. But, have fun. For some reason the word tribe does not strike me as very safe. But, I know you two will be ok. I really like hearing about your adventures and it definitely sounds like you are having an adventure. Stay safe and keep everyone posted on your whereabouts. :)

Hi Hon, So good to hear from you. I miss getting to see the pics though. It sounds a bit dangerous to me what with getting chased from the campground and the tribes. Be very careful. You do not know all the laws in a foreign country. I want you to come home safe and sound-a jail visit could ruin a vacation! Day before yesterday we got about 6 inches of snow and there were numerous wrecks. I knew our springlike weather wouldn't last but I enjoyed it while it did. Grandmom's itch is coming back now that she has finished her medicine. I hope your itch is OK!!! I had heard that NZ was accessible for wheelchairs-is that so? I wouldn't think so since it is primitive. We are all doing fine. As your mother I will continue to worry-can't help it!! Be careful and have fun. Take care of your ankle. Love you bunches, Mom

Hey guys glad to see you in good spirits, spite the mishaps along your journey. Sounds like you are having some adventure! Can't wait for you to come back so we can plan our next trip together. Continue having a great time! Love you!

OK, "sweet child of mine" where are you? I am back now and the last time you posted was Tuesday!! Mrs. Statts says hello. Winnie is in Las Vegas working as a probation officer and Eric is a band director in Williamsburg. Patty and Freddie Lay (friends of your dad's-Jennifer's parents) say hi. Write soon. Your worried mother. I love you!

I hope all is well on your adventures. I have been enjoying your pics. The weather is really nice here in WV. Today it is supposed to be 62. Which is nice for January here. But, it is supposed to snow on Saturday and be 35 degrees. YUCK! I have been working like a mad woman. I feel like I am on fast forward and cannot stop. I have been so busy, lately. Take care and I will talk to you soon. :)

Hi Hon, Just wanted to let you know that I won't be posting on here for a couple of days. I am going to Charleston tomorrow and won't be back until late Friday. Be careful. Love you bunches, Mom

It sounds like you two are having great fun. It looks like close quarters in the ole Bush Camper. But, that is the fun part. I am back from LA early because I found a flight out yesterday and I got back last night. I decided I had enough of LA and I went ahead and hopped a flight yesterday. I am glad to be back I am not much of an LA person. The weather here in WV is very nice. I love the pics it is really beautiful there. I hope Manuel's shoulder is better. Take care of yourselves and I will talk to you soon. :)

Hi Hon, I love the pictures of the scenery, especially the waterfalls. I am glad you posted a picture of the Bush Camper because I was not too sure what it was. Seems as if you all have a good buddy system worked out in getting your chores done. The weather is still springlike here. I am really enjoying it. The company that is suppose to provide my workers just hired all new office staff because of problems. Maybe now they will do a better job getting some help for me! Take care of yourself and be safe. Love you bunches, Mom PS I heard there were big snakes at the working farm unlike anything you see in California. They resemble the ones found in Jamacia!!!! I bet Jill would enjoy them.
