The beating heart…that one was Katherine’s. Read the story, “Dogs, Frogs, & Snakes…oh My!”

This is an awesome list and I love it! You have inspired me to make one too!! I’m loving looking around your blog! Great stuff :) was the dog in vietnam accidental? We did it too. But it was an accident and one I never hope to repeat haha
Hey there Daniel and Kelly!! No, the dog wasn’t accidental…but that would’ve been waaay funnier!! haha. We have a short story of the night we ate dog….search for Dogs, Frogs, & Snakes…Oh My. We checked out your blog….your adventure sounds great. Still haven’t made it to Phi Phi, but hope to for next Christmas! :)
I’ve nominated you for a Tell Me More About Yourself award because I think your blog is great and we are grateful for your visit to ours. Please see more info at http://wp.me/p1RfSy-eR
Hey, that’s awesome!!! Thank-you so much!!! :)
*sigh* I too would love to see the Maldives! A lot of the places on your list are in South America… I HIGHLY recommend! you’ll definitely LOVE it! In Istanbul, I did more haggling than actual buying, but they do have a lot of really nice stuff so you’ll especially enjoy the market. For all the traveling I’ve been doing, I have yet to put up a list online. I have one in my personal notebook but haven’t taken it further than pen&paper.
The Maldives look spectacular, don’t they? We’re kicking ourselves for not going while we were in Sri Lanka because they are so close. We ran into a lot of people who were going over for a few days, and were so jealous. Istanbul sounds fantastic! Tanzania is on our radar for this year too possibly. So many choices, not enough time it seems!! :)
Would love to see your list!
