So many breath taking pictures......thanks for all the time you spent putting them on the site. you and shane just look great. i am soooooo proud of you both.
I love ALL of the pictures!! Can't wait to see the rest... once again I missed your call. Can I call you now that you are in Australia? Oh and you both look great and like you are having so much fun! I love you both and I will talk to you soon. Oh I have so much to catch you up on in my crazy life!!
WOW!!!! Girl, you did a great job with the pictures. You have made it possible for all of your loyal followers to visualize most of your stories. I would have loved to have seen Victoria Falls and all of those precious animals. You both look pretty darn good, especially since you didn't have access to showers. I'm so glad I can live vicariously through your experiences because there "ain't no way" I could travel like you 2 ballsy characters. You both (yes, even you Shane!) have earned my upmost respect for all the things you've endured to get to your destinations. I can't wait to hear about Australia! Love you!
I hadn't checked in a while and am overwhelmed with jealousy. Wait...this sounds like all of my posts on your blog. :) I am inspired to quit my job and take off. Demorest is this weekend, so I will be missing you a lot. Guess you're in early spring down there?
Sorry...can't seem to get rid of the ridiculous name I randomly chose for myself one night. I'm not that dumb, but that stupid blog title stymies me.
