Hello from long lost Carolyn

Hi from Texas, India and Thunder Bay Ontario-the FROZEN NORTH!!!!!!!

Glad to see you guys are still having fun!

Bob finally got back from India - was at the Taj the week before the bombing-had moved from his hotel to an apartment because he had been saying it was just a matter of time before the big hotels were targeted.

We spent our first christmas in 3 years together but not on the same time zone!!!

are getting good at shovelling snow in tandem!!
Are off to a hockey game tonight then he gets on a plane to TX in the morning. I will head out to Vancouver to see my parents when the thaw hits there!!!

May in France is sounding very good right now!!

Take care and keep those pictures coming!!

Love,
Carolyn (& Bob)

Hey, Carolyn. It is good to hear from you via Chuck and Marilyn. I am glad that your Bob was safe wherever he was. Somehow the world is not as safe as I assumed it to be.

My Bob and I drove to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico at the bottom of the Baja peninsula for Christmas, and spent New Year's Eve in Loreto, Baja del Sur, Mexico. It was quiet in our hotel and especially in our room. I am sure we were asleep before midnight.

Happy New Year, and keep on having fun traveling. Love,

Dottie

Happy 2009!
This is really a test blog response to see if it shows up on the site. Not sure how to post here.

The travel bug still keeps biting! Kate, Hetty, Claire and I traveled to South America through Chile, Argentina and Brazil in Oct/Nov. I highly recommend it!!! Fabulous scenery and great people.

Kate and I are traveling to Sicily and the Amalfi coast with our neighbors in March on a Grand Circle trip and will give you a full report upon return.

We also were able to visit Vancouver for three days in September and take a repositioning cruise from there up through Alaska and then down the west coast with stops in Seattle, San Francisco, Catalina Island and San Diego.

We have lots of snow on the ground here now and have had since before Thanksgiving. It is going to be a LONG winter.Sitting inside by the fire looking out on the frozen river works quite well.

Heard great recommendations from other travelers about the Galapagos OAT trip. They say to go in January when the animal babies are born. Keep it in mind for a possibility in 2010.
I would post a picture, but am not sure how to do it here. Someone, please advise.

Wow, glad all is well. I did think of your family when the news from India was coming out, but failed to ask how things were. Sorry. Nonetheless, so good to know Bob is safe and is now out of there. Take care, Tom
