For: Chris and David

So I'm in Pittsford for the weekend and you guys aren't here. I'm kind of sad. :( But anyways, it sounds like you guys are having a blast and I can't wait to hear all about it. Love and miss you both so much. Have a great next couple of days and a safe trip home.

For: Chris

Hey! Sorry I haven't written in a few days, but we just got back from being in the Adirondacks for a few days. Oh yeah! Needless to say it was fun :) So it made my day to hear you were dancing Viennese...I'm expecting it to be perfect when you get back ;) I'm having so much fun reading about all you are doing. Hope you're still having fun even though you may be cold and wet at times. It's hard to believe your trip is almost over! I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

For: Two guys

is up with the good smelling orange stuff out. Make sure you bring home all the older toys/folks you left with :)

For: Two Guys:

Well it sounds like you learned what is is like to really live in the rain :) CJ, you will be very happy to hear that I picked out a couple of nice steaks today and I will try to get some new potatoes from Colbys... David, yes the cheese burgers will hot and juicy when you land if you can wait until you get home... or we can stop at Bill Wahls on the way. Yak milk'in!!!! You never cease to amaze me! Duff will crank up the hot breath when he sees the shotgun in the morning... he knows something

For: David

So I am really excited to hear alll about your trip! It sounds like a blast! Right now I am waiting for kikis friend to come so we can go out :) I can't wait for college! I must go to notre dame! hmmm well I'll see you really soon :)

For: Sandy

So sorry to hear about the rain, but of course it will make for the best stories, not to mention bragging rights! Congrats on your hike and what you have accomplished, despite the universe throwing you a curve with the weather. It will most likely be a big shock to get back to the real world (especially if your next stop is Kathmandu!). Can't wait to hear about how the experience has changed how you now see the world. Love you - Lis

For: Paul

Paul,I hope I finally figured this out and this message goes through, but I'm not holding my breath! Nice picture of everyone together!!! I hope you're not too sad about your newest adventure coming to an end. Now back to real life, which might not be all bad - the next couple of weeks should be interesting for you. Enjoy your last few days with your friends - some old and some new. I'll talk to you next week. PS Thanks for the birthday wishes. Joanne

For: Gina

Hope the hardened criminals didn't teach you any more bad habits!

For: Gina

Awesome post! Did you tell the group that you have hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon? I couldn't have dropped that far that fast, except with 5-wheel drive! Sorry about the rain, but more sorry that views were obscured. Tell Sandy I am wearing a vest she made for me many years ago, in your honor.

For: Chris M & Paul

Everyone looks happy in the photo despite the rains. Sad that your journey is coming to an end. I hope that you all don't suffer major culture shock upon returning to this side of the planet. Be safe and enjoy the remainder of your journey. Peace

For: Sandy

Hey Sandy, I'm here and watching your daily group posts and loving hearing about all your adventures! Over the days I have sent out posts that never made it to you! I don't know why? Stopped by and talked to Laura and she said I was doing it same as she and Linda. Then, after 4 tries tonight, I got through! Whatever? Miss you

For: Sandy

Sorry to hear you got soaked and muddy...but not the muddiest! Hope you are now warm and dry.

For: Gina

I'm sure you have mixed feelings about being close to the end of the adventure of a lifetime. I am sending you blessings for safe slogging the rest of the way! Cannot WAIT to hear about it. All love--

For: Sandy

Sandy, I expect it's been a pretty amazing trip. I haven't read all the posts but I'm guessing you're in better shape now than when you left...well, I hope your legs have held out. I'd love to do something like this one day. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. We'll have to have you over for dinner. I'm in the UK from 10-19 Oct. Perhaps we can plan on catching up sometime the weekend of the 23rd. In the meantime, travel well. Best, Kent

For: Gina and Sandy

Well, it is not the first time you have slogged through mud. Hope the rain stops, the sun comes out, and the mountains reappear. If not,you can create your own sunshine! Or live in the glow of what you have accomplished and experienced on the previous days. They have removed the grid on the spam filter. I can read the letters and numbers!
