so this is Canada, eh... 17pic update

now that I have a better connection, haha I've uploaded 17 more pics from my crappy resolution vid cam. I only have some 500 video clips to sort through now, and then I can create a video log... ahhhh, don't hold your breath, it will be awhile, I don't even know how to edit video HAHAHA

the last of the 5 pic update

Currently back in Saigon, 5pic update from the island of Phu Quoc the what was Suppose to be relaxing end to the trip, which it was, once I got over the missing wallet annoyance/anger, then I Finally got hit with the "Travellers" bug, and well, the last 5days has been challenging, but as the photos kinda indicate, well worth it ;) Now, if my camera hadn't got wrecked during the Songkran, those photos would be of a good resolution, but alas... they're not, haha what else could possibly go wrong... wait, don't answer that, I'm not on Canadian soil yet!! (Did I mention my car has been hit in Canada while I was gone??, can't remember.....) cheeeeeers see'z ya SoooN

the Wallet lasts 15days 8 hours and 33minutes....

and then gets pick-pocketed in the airport in Phu Quac Vietnam least it wasn't me being a complete idiot, wallet was in the front pocket... what can I say.... all is well, can see the sun setting on the ocean through the window of the Internet cafe Tonight I have to wake up at 1:45am to watch the ManU Champions League game. The guesthouse guy is also a ManU fan, so we'll be heading into town (someplace in Market, I think is how he put it). Should be fun. Dived today, and didn't drown, which is good, as there is a Third bad thing now waiting for me. Found out today that my car got hit in Calgary.... 2 Down 1 to Go Cheers for now, not sure I'll be able to upload anything between now and home time no Internet cafe close by, so I have to tredge along the sandy beach a good K ;)

I Wanna Lay on a Beach, and Do NOTHING

Feels like it's been Go Go Go and I Finally wanna do NOTHING for a couple days this has been a Fantastic Trip so far, kinda stuck in Saigon, as we couldn't get a flight to Phu Quac till 6:20am (which means we have to get up at 4:30 by the way). Feels like a wasted day in Saigon, but we've made the best, Traffice is truelly biZZaRe, I don't think I've EVER just watched and literally Chuckled before, well, when watching traffic I mean... I'm now sitting in a hotel "cafe and bar", but it feels like someones living room, as a girl is helping a boy with his homework... and I'm sitting on a couch, next to a tv and home stereo, lol. Had my first LeGiTe Vietnamese Vermacelli (spelling) tonight, was cool, except that I was literally Sitting on the STreet HAHA pics to follow SoOOOOOn Beach, here we ComE !!! cheers!!

Bill's post (holy crap is it LONG)

Subject: Let's Talk Hot Food Hello All, I tried to send an email a couple days ago but I couldn't send anything. (for you geeks, IE would crash on popups so I couldn't open a send) First let me catch you up on what's happened. We flew from Bangkok on the second day and by lunch we were heading north out of Chang Mai (a city in northern Thialand) on 2 bikes. One is a big dirt bike with street tires (known as a motard to bike guys) and the other is a bike I fell in love with - a VFR 400 from Japan that they don't sell to North Americans. It's likely the most fun bike I've ever ridden. It cool, cool, cool, has an engine that revs to the moon, it's light, moderately uncomfortable, has a roasting hot seat and handles spectacularly. It put big smiles on both our faces. We're going to see if we can import a couple to Calgary. When I found out it was going to be 35 to 40C just before we came (nope, I wasn't smart enough to look beforehand) I asked...
