So... since I am on a beach on an island in Thaiand, my days have been pretty low key and very relaxing. Leigh arrived here - on 3 hours of sleep, after a long day of travelling from Siem Reap, having gone out the night before - on Friday night, safe and sound, albeit a touch exhausted. We spent yesturday chilaxing... we went for breakies at the waterfront restaurant, made our way to the beach, played in the water, listened to some good aussie tunes and chatted about her last days in Cambodia... For an aussie, she sure turns a nice shade of bright pink from the sun AND it was overcast! haha (Sorry Leigh, had to say it!) Oh yes, what else did we have on our schedule? Well, we had lunch at the beachfront restaurant and then later went for a waterside thai massage... the BEST massage we have both ever had. And so cheap! 200 bt. = $5 usd!! For a pertnear 3 hour rub down!! Wow. We were SO GIDDY afterwards... folks thought we had just downed a "happy shake" or smoked a spliff er something! I felt like I was on extasy! (not that I know how that would feel... heehee) We were so jellowed that we just went back to the hut, laid down, stretched, and fell asleep. Unfortunately, the massage released toxins from our nodes and organs - as it is meant to do - and Leigh is quite sick today.
So that's pretty much it dudes! Sorry I don't have anything more exciting to write... it's near the end of my trip and I'm trying not to think about going home yet... trying to just be here now. Before I leave Koh Chang though, we're gonna check out the waterfalls here and go snorkelling to 4 other islands in the vicinity and so I look VERY forward to that beauty... I love snorkelling!!! In Bangkok I'm getting a tatoo... an elephant in Thai design... lower back to cover up the tiny cartoony-immature not-so-pink elephant... WAY cheaper to do here than back home, plus I really wanted the local art created by a local.
I'll write again likely from Bangkok on Wednesday or Tuesday evening some time... crazy. Thank's for reading me... I MISS YOU!!!

Hello Jacqueline, funny how things turn out. I cried before you left, not out of worry but out of the realization that my little girl has been growing up right infront of me all this time into a beautiful, wonderfull human being. I find comfort in the memories I will hold forever of you, growing , learning, evolving.
As it turns out,, I am crying again,,this pround and tender heart is spuing out H2O thru its old eyes. The thought of you coming back this week, in a few days is strikin the emotional chord and I look forward to seeing , smelling, hugging you. I send you Love, HUGS & KISSES.
Enjoy your last few days on the beach and know that my heart is with you.
PAPA,,,papa,,,

Another Thai Massage, eh? That sounds so nice. It's good to hear that you are coming back fully relaxed, showing your lines from the sun. I must say, it will be nice to have your company once again...oh...so excited.
Happy Cupid Day!
Lots of love

ps. to Jacquie's papa, you truly have a beautiful way with words...one can easily see where Jacquie gets it from!
Youhoooohhhhh Jacquthai! You lucky girlllll..... how did you say that?... a waterside massage... you make my mind go crazy... Hey Jacquie, je sais que tu ne veux pas penser tout de suite à ton retour, et tu fais bien de vivre le moment présent jusqu'à la dernière minute... mais ouvrons une petite parenthèse ici: (auras-tu une escale à Montréal pour ton retour??? Si oui, on pourrait se voir à l'aéroport?) fermons vite cette parenthèse pour ne pas perturber ton moment présent hi hi hi... et tiens moi au courant si ça peut marcher. Je t'aime, et je vais regarder tes photos un peu plus tard cette semaine. Tou'l'monde ici te fait une grosse bise. Muahhhhhhh xoxoxo
Hi Snorkling Jacquie!!!
I can't wait to read all your letters made words on your new experiencing of snorkling... traduction: j'ai vraiment hâte de voir toutes tes lettres alphabétiques que tu sais si bien mélangées pour former des mots et des phrases formidables à nous faire saliver d'envie...
Love, xoxoxo
Is it safe to say that I'm not the only one counting down the days? I'm full of excitement and anticipation...it feels like a freak out...like when kids are running and screaming with their hands waving sporadically in the air. yup, that's me right now...even if it is another 10 days to Edmonton landing.
So, I have a line up of government folks wanting to hear my story (well...our story) about water and Cambodia...I'm sure it's because they don't get out much...teehee. Be safe...sending lots of love for your crazy long flight to Canada.

Hi Jacquie, I am sitting here reading your blog and i went to comments, the first one i see is your fathers and i agreee totally what he wrote........so that goes ditto for me, love you always and can't wait to see you soon.......

Hello Jacquie, -41c up here without the windchill factor. It is Thursday and the predictors of weather "the Weatherpeople' are saying that the winds will be strong today,,,,brrrrrrr. We could reach -50's and better. I cant wait, I must go, I must bust out of here.
You speak of approaching people for a non profit organization, remember that the Building Trades operate a pool which contributes to local Alberta groups on a weekly basis. Jacquie if there would be a good sound approach developped from a group which would speak of a specific non profit org. and it's goals. A well thought out approach for funds would be the way to go. We could talk about it when you get back and if it is a viable path I could get you the information needed.

Jacquie la Bronzée... tu dois te la couler douce hein??? plus le temps d'écrire hein???... tu fais bien! profites-en... mais oublie moi pas, c'est sérieux... j'aimerais ça te voir avant que tu retournes dans le Grand Nord!!! alors, si tu peux arranger une escale à Montréal pour ton retour fais moi signe!
