EffieL

Hey EffieL.
Bob sends me e-mails quite often ,but I haven't had any news for a few months.

Hi Effie, I also have not heard from him in a few months, last I knew he was still teaching in Phenom Phen.

talk about lost souls. where have you been girl you said you would let me know about your plan but never did hope all is well for you and yours don

Hey Effie..
I haven't heard from Bob in a few months either. I sent him an email about a week ago asking some questions for a friend of mine who is interested in doing what he is doing....but no answer. I was concerned since he didn't write back since he usually responds rather quickly. I saw him "online" in the gmail chat...but got no response there either. It sounds like he hasn't contacted any of us on the "group list" with his periodic updates......hmmmm....what do you suppose he's up to? Hope he's ok.
Now that I think about it...it's been quite a while since I've heard from you either!! Hope you're well!

Hi everyone. Bob and I usually email quite regularly ..but it's also been some time since I've heard from him. I sent him an email about a month ago and still haven't heard anything. He's a dear dear friend of mine and although I know he's a big boy .. I can't help but worry a bit. Since none of you have heard from him either .. this is pretty weird..cause as you all know .. he's very good at keeping his friends up to date with email updates. Ok Bob .. now that I've got everyone worried ..it's time you get your nose out of the teaching books and send me an email. I'll be waiting.. and you know how impatient I can get.. don't make me brake out into song again.. we've all been there and done that ! hahah :-)
To the rest of my thorn tree friends.. indeed it's been some time since I've sent an update. I'm glad all of you are well. Itsdon I'm happy to hear from you! Rexmand and Scoot salut !! Ragout good to hear from you too! :-) Things for me are great. Love had steared me into a whole new direction and in a way made me put down some roots here in Montreal. Life with my beau is great and the future is exciting :-) I haven't done any travel recently ..but very soon that will change. Looking possibly to Mexico .. vamos a ver ..but October looks promising for us. Anyhoo guys stay well and send some updates!

Effie - It is nice to see you posting again on the TT. I still have one can of maple syrup in the pantry. I'm afraid to use it up. It is like liquid gold. It is nice to know that all is well with you and yours.

Hi Effie-

Bob is in Cambodia teaching, and last I heard from him he was considering a prime position at a major resort in Thailand, teaching executives children in a private school I think, but was not sure what he was going to do...

The question is, where have YOU been?

Thanks Tim,
When is the last time you heard from him? ok so maybe Bob is just laying low for now. I hope I hear from him soon. So Bob..drop me a line amigo precioso.
Tim I've been here.. in Quebec .. doing what us Quebecers do! Working! Looking forward to some travel soon!
Stay well everyone,
EffieL

I just got an email form Elkythedogsperson this morning. Wanted me to let you know he was fine and here's a note to all:

"So tell the LP folks that Elky is still around and kicking. Getting internet time over here, even at school is tough, so I haven't been checking in much."

Just wanted to put your minds at ease......

Thanks Jo Ann,,,,

He is enjoying Monsoon season I am sure...

OK--

I guess there was a post from people wondering where I'm off to and why I haven't checked in as I usually do.

This branch is to be about CA travel advice, so here goes until RomanB kicks this off:

1) It's illegal to wear sunglasses or a baseball hat into a bank in Costa Rica.

2) The Pinto Gallo at the restaraunt in PV remains the best breakfast I've had.

Now that said, I'm still in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, teaching English. I just finished my second semester and my contract ends next month. I am up for renewal, though I am looking at possibilities either in SEA or a possibility back in CR (my TESOL certificate is good in 40 countries.) The last year+ has been an adventure and it continues.

Now lets see:

1) EffieL: I'll never forgive you for that offkey version of the Bob Marley song you tortured me with in Bocas. I'll figure some revenge though, and you'll regret the day.

2) Scoot: You'll be glad to hear that there's a thriving industry manufacturing Marcia Brady beach towels here in Cambodia. I've already ordered up 144 of them for you. Do you want them shipped to Coldsville or to your digs in CR?

3) Ticotim: What you're up to something like 27,500 posts now? Really, get outside and do something. You're in front of the computer too much.

4) Rexman: Loved the underwater pictures from the Philippines you put up. Look forward to the next round.

5) Maire: I hope you and the hounds are doing well.

OK, I know wasn't a topic here, but I was asked how I was doing. Sorry I'm not checking in so much, but since I'm on the other side of the globe I don't have too much to offer about traveling in CA. And since this post is way off subject, I'm sure it'll be deleted shortly.

Happy travels all.

Hey Bob. Good to hear that all is well. Hadn't received an e-mail for a while and was getting concerned. You can send the Tees to Coldsvile. I waited on a street corner for my cordless drill from you a few years ago in CR. That wasn't a very pleasant experience as the corner seemed to belong to a "street merchant".
Oh...one more thing. If you happen to spot any Bobby Sherman or Davy Jones vintage T-shirts, I'd like a few of those too. It's a surprise for BOOMER1 along with his Tetley.
Thanks for thinking of us.

He's back! All is ok again :-) Ahhhhhh.
