We landed in L.A. early in the morning and stood outside to wait for a shuttle to our hotel, which never arrived. Frustrated and tired, we caught a cab and when we started to get the run-around, i.e., "Which Ramada Plaza? There are many cities and many Ramadas", Barry lost his patience. The driver, pretending to be deeply hurt at …

Hi - This is Viviana from Alaska Airlines, SFO. I was really impressed with your family when you were at our counter on Friday. The kids were great, rattling off your itinerary by heart. And this is a wonderful blog, I intend to make my grandchildren read every bit of it. Wish you all the best - God bless you!

Holy, do you guys get around. I thought I just saw pictures two days ago with all of you in Australia. Now, the flight is at least 24-30 hours, so I'm starting to think you guys were doing the cut and paste pictures from around the world thing. You guys were probably here the whole time. It's amazing what you guys can do with the computer. You had me going. Welcome back. You were missed but you didn't hear it from me.
SAM AND BREANNE!
Hello Connor! We are sitting here at my computer at Sam's and I am not saying when you are getting home so Sam is throwing a chair at me..cause I'm keeping the secret for you. Hehe. Soo...WE MISS YOU! School is different without you but soon it will be back to normal. Hehe.
When are you getting home??(Sam talking). Anyway, we shall go. BYE!BYE!BYE! *Sam and Bree have left the building*

Hey Marg, Barry, Connor and Tessa, we love reading all about your adventures and wish we were in on them, too! Enjoy your days of sweltering heat while we trip over the snowdrifts on our way to Boxing week shopping.... I'm sure you miss the cold and the bargains (not!) Have a wonderful new year and have a few drinks for us! Kim and family

I am finally caught up on your blogs and photos from the past month. I've spent the better part of the last 6 weeks out of Canada and will be leaving again in about 2 and half weeks for Mexico. I have enjoyed tagging along on your world adventure and you are probably cramming as much as you can into the last few weeks before heading home. If "The Amazing Race" ever comes to Canada, you would be a great competitor since you have been to many of the places that are shown on the show. Think of the advantage you would have knowing the major sites, how to negotiate the public transportation systems, reading maps, etc., etc. Have a Happy New Year Down Under!

Have a very Happy New Year down under. Have so enjoyed travelling the world with you. The pictures are wonderful. We'll hear from you when you get home. Love Jack and Arlene

We're thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful Christmas, wherever you may be. We're waist deep in snow, and cold but glad the Christmas Season is here. Take Care and Merry Christmas. Love Alida, Jake, Matt and Josh.

Hi Barry,
Are you in Vietnam now? I thought you would go to Cambodia first. I was supposed to write you some words to show you some places you can go in Vietnam but I was so busy. Sorry Barry.
Did you go to Sapa in Northern Vietnam? It's nice and more nature. You can go to Nha Trang (Central Vietnam) and Phu Quoc (South Vietnam). They're beautiful and famous. I heard people said Mui Ne is very nice but I"m not sure it's in Central or South Vietnam. My sister and her fiance are going back to Vietnam by the end of Jan 08. Evan Clark is going to VN to. You guys make me feel excited and I want to go to . Keep us post and take care, Barry.

Congratulations! I am pleased to tell you that you are currently in first place and that much closer to winning one million dollars. Keep up the good work!
