Mom Viau Looks like we'll have nice weather this weekend for your return!  I can't wait to see you two after your long adventures :)  Ben decided to go to the prom tomorrow night afterall.  He was able to get a ticket at the office from someone who turned one in.  He's taking Christen Harbaliss. Hey, are you going to want to go out to eat when you arrive?  Think about it.  Maybe we could all go as one big group! See you in TWO DAYS!!! :) love, "Mum"

Auntie Linda Hi students!!  Loved Stonehedge.  I actually so a program where they tried to imitate how it would have been like to build a two stone up and one across during the time this was done.  It took them forever!!!  It was real scary some of the time as well because sometimes you felt like the huge rock would fall over.  They had over 50 volunteers.  Anyhow, it made me appreciate Stonehedge much more.  Have fun for the rest of your stay in England.  When you finally get home I'm going to miss these updates of your lives!!!

Mom Viau Wow  Billy, I can't believe how big your cousins have gotten! Great picture of the "3 Muskateers".  Thank you for finally updating this site - I've been wondering how your "vacation" went before having to head back to the grind.   Miss you guys - happy studying! love, Mom 

Auntie Linda Now I'm happy!!!  Great pictures.......  Great to see you are both alive. I was getting worried there for  awhile.

Auntie Linda OK guys, you've done enough goofing off.  Either you really hated being here in Hungary, or you've been brainwashed and don't remember a thing.  We've been waiting forever for the pictures and story and so far nothing!!!  Were we that bad????  anyhow, I have a dress of Cassie's she left behind.  Please give me an address I can send it to.  We are REALLY waiting for some sign of life from the two of you so stop smelling the roses and write a line or two!!!

Mom Viau Thinking of you two as our 24th wedding anniversary is coming up on May 1st!   I can't believe it's been that long!!!!  I hope the schoolwork is going smoothly.  Just a few more weeks and we'll see you home! love you, miss you Mom

Mom Viau So it's back to the school grind!  I hope you guys are ready for all that studying again! Very interesting that your blog caught the eye of a complete "helen-stranger"!  I don't think anything could top that proposal while you were in Venice - no matter what kind of trip anyone plans to that enchanting city.  I hope she's not disappointed!  Do you have pictures of millions of Tulips in Amsterdam?  What about the sites with your cousins in Hungary?  We are all waiting!  I went to A.C. Moore yesterday and bought a bunch of craft stuff to try to make another beautiful Venice mask.   I doubt that I could come anywhere near the craftsmenship of the one you sent to us - but it will be fun trying!  Study hard, do well. Love and miss you both, Mom

helen hi this might be wierd as i am a stranger to you but i went travelling last year and set up a blog with sta travel. i am about to surprise my boyfriend  with a trip to venice and knowing that i used to write essays about my trips, i thought i would check out other peoples blogs on venice. yours caught my eye and when i read it it was lovely. im so excited about going now as my boyfriend really needs cheering up and you have made it sound so enchanting and romantic, just what he needs :) thanks. i hope i have as many happy memories as you and congratulations!!!!! helen

Judy Miamis Congratulations! what a great proposal! love and best wishes to you both!

Mom Viau By the looks of that yummy chocolate in Belgium, it's probably a good thing that you are doing all that walking!! I can just taste it now. So it sounds like Bill wasn't feeling any kind of cosmic conections with his identity while in Brussels. His great grandmother (my dad's mom) was born in Belgium. Maybe that's why I like chocolate so much!!! Have fun in Amsterdam! love Mom

Linda J Lenard What a surprise!!! I knew that must be an ENGAGEMENT ring!!! Congratulations to the both of you. Lovely idea in front of Casanova's. We've been there as well but I think we'd been married about 20 years!! Can't wait to see that ring in person!! Eat your heart out Donna!! Monday's the day. Have fun until we see each other. Auntie Linda
