I saw the count for the blog and wondered who could be giving it all the hits. I didn’t give it out to many people. Now I found out that it is on Cruise Critic and that explains the increase.
First of all, any of you that know Liz or our family would love Liz’s Blog. For professional reasons, it isn’t public at this time, but email her and tell her who you are and she will give you access. It is absolutely excellent! Love those Tiger and Elephant photos!
Sandra asked if this trip is one we would do again or if it is a “one off”. We love it. No it is not too long, no not too many sea days. We would probably not do the full world again for a long time. We do not like Asia much. We wanted to see it and this is the perfect way to do it. We know we have had a very sheltered exposure to it, but it is enough for now. We liked Thailand, but it is not on our top list to visit again. We may want to take a very long cruise around South America or maybe a 40 or 50 day cruise to Australia/NZ and stay there for a month or 6 weeks and then take a ship the same length back. That would be in a few years from now probably. The length of time on the ship is no problem at all.
Jennie, Sandra told me you were watching the blog. Thanks for all your info on Melbourne on Cruise Critic. Glad we didn’t end up taking a ship tour, had much more fun bumming around Melbourne with Greg and Jo.
Linda W, Glad you are enjoying it. Nothing as exciting as when our plane was struck by lightning!
Paul, I was surprised to have a reader from Cruise Critic. I didn’t know it was posted on there. Thanks for letting me know.
Liz and Richard, I remember reading your blog back when Liz signed us up for the day with Tong and the fishing village! Thanks for reading.
Steve and Alice, thanks for the great send off from New York! See you in 5 weeks! We will have our hands full trying to deal with all of the luggage.
Nickie, Can’t wait to get home and read your blog (I’m too cheap to read it now).
Donna, The sights, sounds and smells are overwhelming. We are very sheltered on a bus, but we don’t take those too often. Had to come back and rest after Chennai, it wore me out because it is so intense.
Cheryl, I am really trying to be careful. I don’t want to end up on shore because I am injured.
Amanda ,thanks for keeping in touch. I can only take so many food pics. Let me know what you want to see. XXOO
Jaime, I hope this gives you the taste for travel.
Di, You were the first friend I had that did extensive travel.
Joe, I think you will do one of these someday. It would be a perfect trip for you.
Nancy M, thanks for being such a loyal reader.
Sharon, Love those comments!
Liz has a contact that has a foundation that is doing some wonderful work in Cambodia. Liz and Tim donated approximately 75 uniforms to a school for children that were unable to buy them and also brought a lot of clothes for them. They visited the school to distribute them along with others that had been donated by people that weren’t traveling there. The people are small and some of the teachers could wear the children’s clothes they brought. Her blog has many pics from their visit to the school.
The area is so poor that the teachers are forced to work in the fields to supplement their teachers’ salaries. There are many ways to donate. Twenty dollars a month is what it takes to keep a teacher working in her classroom instead of the fields. Another opportunity is to buy a child a bike for $40 so they can get to high school. It doesn’t take much to make someone’s life a whole lot better and this group has many ways you can do it.
Here is the charity website. You may want to get involved in some way. http://theplf.org/
