Hi,
We are leaving the states in Nov. for 6 months in Asia. Vietnam will be our base and then several months in Europe and finishing with 6 months in New Zealand. Your blog has been such an inspiration to all of us. Our 3 boys 14, 9 and 5 loved reading the post our son wrote about Vietnam. Read geography of Bliss earlier this summer loved it!

I visited Kerela in South India with my family and was amazed seeing the beauty of Munnar’s tea garden and Kumarakom’s back waters. Many tourists are unaware of this state in India. It’s worth visiting with your family.

Anne, Anne, Anne…

This post, as I’m sure you know, spoke to me in a way few can truly understand. The water, the WARMTH(us cold-fingered friends only know), the endless horizon…Something I long for not because it’s California, but because California is me. If I have to feel my freezing toes and fingers for one more day I think I’ll go insane! It was 48 degrees yesterday. What the?
So, just as I thought I’d surrendered and about to hunker down here in good ol’ Georgia for a couple more years, I had to stumble upon this post. Thanks a lot. But really, thanks a lot.

Anne,

My husband, 11 year old nephew Kevin and I have just returned from New Zealand. Like you, I LOVE the LA basin, yet for three weeks, New Zealand gave us peace, good food, great scenery and a welcoming home.

Now back in the bay area, I have to say, and much like you and yours, we are looking forward to the next adventure, yet I miss living in LA.

Give my best to Tom who I worked with at ELNK.

I love your blog and only discovered it a few months ago. Anyway, I saw on your side bar that you are Puerto Rico bound. I went there last summer and was lucky enough to have friends from there take me to the sweet spots on the island. I’m not sure what your itinerary is but I wanted to recommend you venture out to Cabo Rojo/Mayaguez area and Boqueron. It’s on the west side of the island and about a 4 hour drive from San Juan. It’s a beautiful place and well worth the drive…and it’s where the Puerto Ricans go to vacation. Enjoy your trip. I’m going there on Sunday again and can’t wait.

PS – I’m Mormon too and was inspired by your family. Now I know that my dream of traveling around the world with a family in the future isn’t just a dream

Great post as usual! I just stumbled upon it and was glad to see something new up as we miss you.

I can relate! Yesterday, I read a blog from some Californians who traveled the world on bikes for four years and after 50 some countries, they have found their favorite country. It is California!

The more we travel, the more we appreciate the glories of that great state. In fact, we picked this part of Spain to winter in because it reminds us of home in Santa Cruz!

I love it all, but Mediterranean climate with mountains AND ocean, tend to give me bliss.

A belated welcome to California! Haven’t checked your blog in awhile, and low and behold, when I finally do you’ve quoted “The Geography of Bliss”! Just happened to receive this book yesterday because we’ve always loved the concept. Thanks for the post.
