For the last week and a half we have been in the southern Indian state of Kerala, which sits on the western coast of India's southern tip.We chose Kerala because we had heard rave reviews from friends about its beauty and rich culture.The reviews were not false - Kerala is physically stunning with beautiful rugged coastlines, dramatic mount…
We have returned safely from our travels in Latin America and Asia. We hope you enjoy the stories, photos and videos from our amazing trip through Guatemala, Argentina, Uruguay, China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and India.

Toddeeeoo and Christina, thanks for the call on my birthday...sorry I missed it, I was at the movies with my lovely wifeyyyy. We love you both and I can't wait to see in person and talk about your trip and experiences....
Mom
Dearest Christina and Todd,
So great talking to you tonight which motivated me to completely read your blog and peruse all your beautiful pictures!!! You are having the time of your life and we are so happy for you...learning and enjoying! We love you both and so look forward to seeing you...Mom
PS Congratulations again, Christina, for getting into the social work program!
Eric and Aumi
Wow...it looks like you are having an epic time (I loved your photos and video...Christina nice job on the biking). It is amazing how different it is there and we can't wait to hear all about your trip first hand....we love you both and miss you!
Mom
Dearest Ones,
Just read through all your videos, blogs and pictures and loved seeing that you are having a fabulous, fabulous time!! Especially loved the videos because it felt like you were actually there...goal!! Loved seeing the Great Wall of China because we are going there in 2009. Thailand sounds fascinating and appreciated yor story about the little boy and the rose. Also, loved your poem from Uruguay!! Had the crew over for hamburgers and jacuzzi because Denton has been talking about Papa's pool for weeks. We are so excited to see you in June and really can't believe that you are actually moving to Tucson. Sent in your medical form. Look forward to your phone calls...With Love, Mom
Scott & Chris
Wow! Having just returned to Tucson after our travels in Africa, I am truly amazed at the thoroughness of your blog, photos and videos. I think because we realize how time-consuming it can be to get everything on-line and hope that people are checking it out;) You can honestly never have too many photos of this special time in your lives (although Larry was falling asleep as Scott showed our 1500+ photos from our travels last night;). Be safe, have fun, and keep us posted! We can't wait to have you guys in Tucson (congrats Todd!)

Hey guys!
Thanks for the updates. It looks like you guys are having a blast. I'm sooo jealous. It is the end of March and it snowed today here in Rochester. I did just get back from spring break in SoCal & Utah (I did a little camping in Zion - drove through AZ on the way). Sam and Jo-Jo say hi. Jo-Jo looks like he's headed to Law school, who would have thought (accepted to Hastings and santa clara thus far).
Anyways, keep us posted. And, keep having a blast. Miss you two.
Chris
Just so you know, Stanford knocked off Marquette 82-81 in OT. Whew! They advance to the Sweet 16. WSU crushed Notre Dame and is also on to the next round. Looks like the two of you are having a great time. Could we trade places? Jillian was accepted at Claremont, still waiting to hear from Georgetown & Northwestern. All our best to the both of you!

Hello Christina!
You headed out for your new adventure before I got my thank you note to you. Didn't want to wait till you got back - so sending an e-mail to thank you for the lovely blue vase you gave me for Christmas. The glaze is so unusual and beautiful. I'll think of you everytime I look at it.
Have a great trip - I'll live the travel vicariously through you postings.
Love, Aunt Cindy
Chris
Happy to hear that you arrived safely and that you are enjoying the school and surroundings. Since you left you've missed several snow storms here in the PNW, so the story of your sweaty trip to the language school in Xela won't get you much sympathy! We are looking forward to hearing more about your adventures. Post some pictures, please.
Chris, Sally, Jillian, Patricia and Bridget
