I truly enjoyed our conversation and yes, part of me wanted to follow along with you and Ellie to trek into the beautiful lands and people that I am certain you have embraced. I was impressed with the courage you both portrayed… and admired the pioneering spirit you demonstrated on that brief encounter. And equally impressed in your targeted impression of my admiration of every aspect from the people of the many lands where I have gone. I guess I wore my love of Asia and the Asia Pacific people on my sleeve, recognizable at a distance. I see by your travels that you are both making great progress in your journey; again I am impressed and envious at the same time… though I have had my share of travels. But once again your keen observations were correct as I admit to squeezing memorable encounters in learning about the many different cultural experiences, and pleasurable people and friendships they shared in the midst of business. I think you would agree that in general, though we may be exited in visiting the lands of the world… it is I (or we) that feel more enriched in having the wonderful experiences and friendships from those people where we are truly guests. Beth and Ellie, I truly wish you have a wonderful and memorable experience. Enjoy the beauty of the land, the food, the people, and the acts of kindness they share. I guess you too know as da Vinci once said, the eyes are the windows to the soul… and we know that to be true through our encounters. Be safe, and I will check in on you again soon. I hope to hear from you one day. Bill Hello Beth & Ellie,

Yes it is I, the business person from Michigan (Bill Morelli)… and thank you for remembering me from our brief visit in the Bangkok hotel lobby. I truly enjoyed our conversation and yes, part of me wanted to follow along with you and Ellie to trek into the beautiful lands and people that I am certain you have embraced. I was impressed with the courage you both portrayed… and admired the pioneering spirit you demonstrated on that brief encounter. And equally impressed in your targeted impression of my admiration of every aspect from the people of the many lands where I have gone. I guess I wore my love of Asia and the Asia Pacific people on my sleeve, recognizable at a distance.

I see by your travels that you are both making great progress in your journey; again I am impressed and envious at the same time… though I have had my share of travels. But once again your keen observations were correct as I admit to squeezing memorable encounters in learning about the many different cultural experiences, and pleasurable people and friendships they shared in the midst of business. I think you would agree that in general, though we may be exited in visiting the lands of the world… it is I (or we) that feel more enriched in having the wonderful experiences and friendships from those people where we are truly guests.

Beth and Ellie, I truly wish you have a wonderful and memorable experience. Enjoy the beauty of the land, the food, the people, and the acts of kindness they share. I guess you too know as da Vinci once said, the eyes are the windows to the soul… and we know that to be true through our encounters. Be safe, and I will check in on you again soon. I hope to hear from you one day.

Was thinking about the upcoming trip to Thailand with my family and recalled your website. Your site provides really great perspectives and gets me motivated to get more adventuresome as we finalize our plans. Unfortunately, sounds like you will be deep in the countryside of Cambodia when we arrive in Thailand so we might not be able to connect. I'll keep up w/ your posts as we get closer to lift off for our trip and hope you and Ellie continue to have an amazing time. All the best. Happy Travels, Denis Beth,
