Joan Eley I'm really enjoying your blog and all the great photos. Looks like you're having a vacation to remember forever. You're making me want to go to Italy too, some day. Looking forward to some more great stories. Will catch up with you on the blog or in Vancouver. We'll be driving down on Friday the 7th.

Sherri Thomas Arwin's great. Not naughty at all, just adventurous. We've all settled into a nice routine now. Blog when you can & if u don't I'll assume you're just doing & seeing so much that u can't, which is a good thing! xxoo

sherri Thomas You guys are having quite the adventurous trip! From hotel room fires to ATM problems & everything in between. You'll have great memories & stories to tell about the trip for the rest of your lives. By the way, you're cat has been bad!!!! I figured she'd be okay on the balcony without supervision as she was a typical "fraidy" cat when you took her out to Betty's balcony, but guess where I found her? Walking the railing!!!!! Who knew she could jump that high?! I guess my cat taught her the bad habit. You'll be relieved to know she"s thoroughly supervised whenever she's out there now. Keep those blogs coming.....really enjoy reading them. Sherri: oh dear, it sounds like she has been pretty naughty. We're glad to hear she's having a little vacation of her own! Glad you're enjoying the blogs, I'll try to keep them coming...our days are so full with sightseeing that I have to make sure I save some time to jot down all the fun we're having!

Grandma Love reading your "blog". Look forward to the rest of your messages as soon you will be in territory where Frank and I were. Hope you enjoy the rest of your travels. I certainly agree with you that England's cathedrals are beautiful. After seeing them, we found Rome's cathedral a big letdown. Maybe they have cleaned it up by now. Look forward to more 'blogs'

Aunt Elaine Love the Blog. Probably this is the closest that I will ever get to Italy, so looking forward to your reports. I'm sure you are relieved to know that you can have 'beer and chips' when you get back here!

Alana Worsley Matt and Ali! Really enjoyed reading about your time in London. I listened to the Smiths the whole day, thinking of you two. Can't wait to hear about Italy! Take care! xoAlana

Jolene Bales Hi! Sounds like you are having an excellent trip! I am looking forward to seeing those photos. Baby and I are good, I think it's going to be a boxer :-) Have an amazing time in Italy!

Joan Eley Sounds like you're off to a great start. I'm home from Alaska and will drive to Kamloops on Tuesday to pick up Dad. Big homecoming weekend this week, so we'll be busy with the community band. We had a fantastic trip to Alaska.

sherri thomas I'm back at home & you haven't even left yet......weird!!! travel safe, we'll be thinking of you while you're away.

Colin I don't see any pictures yet. Have any pictures of some cats? Colin: You can be assurred that we will post some pictures of cats as soon as we see some...we know you can't wait to see some Guido felines.

Dad We're now in Dease Lake...it's Wednesday...and we're heading for Vanderhoof today. We're looking forward to following your trip and sharing your experiences on the net. Have fun. Dad
