that's it for tonight...click on site 2 and site 4 and they should work for you

The pictures are great...I enjoyed looking at them. Thank you for sharing them.

Nice pictures Bob. I really like taking the pictures next to you... I look so thin!

Bob,
Great photos. I do wonder, however, if Swenson's paid some kind of promotional fee. And, one of your photos is simply hilarious. Everyone will have to scroll through them all to find it. Tengo

Great pics! makes me yearn to be back in BKK and maybe Hau Hin!

Good photos Bob. It's nice that you were able to meet up with so many Fodorites and we are able to put names with faces now!
When we were in KL in '98 people were not allowed to go up in the towers so it was interesting to see your view from the 41st floor.
Looks like you got to stay in some very nice hotels along the way too. Looking forward to seeing the one in Bali.

Bob
I recognize some of those purses! haha Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bob- I'm guessing Melaka was not the high point of your trip?

bill, we actually liked melaka quite a bit....sort of felt more like the "real malaysia", what ever that is???

kuantan is where we are sort of neutral about

picture group five is here:

Great pictures thanks for sharing. Looks like you had an enjoyable trip.

If you don't mind, where did you most enjoy staying on this two month journey?

Bob: Thanks for a wonderful report, I've taken note of some helpful details. And thanks to Andy for the indispensable heckling.

favorite place...that would be places....the only place we would not return to is kuantan probably...

my favorite hotel room is a tie: pool facing room on high floor at phuket meridien and the upper floor, gannga room, at vila shanti, ubud, bali...

I strongly suspect the POB means that he enjoyed the room at the Alam Shanti in Ubud. This is the hotel at which he actually stayed. The Villa Shanti is a figment of his imagination. However, it's this type of "creative" reporting that separates Bob from those of us mired in reality.

he is right....i had the name wrong...

btw, we stayed in 19 hotels on this trip so i get them mixed up....i do not have the clear mind of the 'sage from cambridge'--

BTW, he doesn't have the clear mind of an amoeba either.

I did laugh at the piscture of the monkey which was entitled "andy in hua hin" hilarious

Nickey-do not encourage him. He's bad enough without any cheering from the sideline. I elected to let the simian slight pass.

But Andy it was funny and anyway i have NO DOUBT you will get him back for that remark (ten fold!!!!!)

did you like his exgenisve review of his bali trip??

<i>did you like his exgenisve review of his bali trip??</i>

Maybe he was too busy writing exegeses of your reviews?

What language do they speak in Needham? i've asked this before

You guys have me laughing exgenisvely!

(No Andy, I didn't laugh at all when I saw your pic!)
:(|)

more pics coming later tonight....i have been trying to label them while sitting here overlooking a fantastic maine lake....

off to the fireworks now by boat...

group #6 id the pics takes you into bali

share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BauXDJw2aqMpI

its too late, i will post the part 6 again as a whole section was dropped...

Hope you enjoyed your fireworks display, Bob. We had a really great display in our little town tonight. We can see it from our family room window, as we live close to the lake where it is put on.

Happy 4th of July!

Bob- Thanks for posting the photos. It was great to match faces and names to the folks who have given me so much help with my travels!

Bob
Am loving the photos and quinci villas looks gorgeous have added it to my (evere growing) list, although i would have killed Muffin if he had included a picture of my knickers drying.........

group # six only partially transmitted, here is the full set

Bob,
The photos really are great. Any censure for late posting may be erased, though that is up to Andy.

The golden Buddha mask that you bought is beautiful. Now, one question: when I get there in a few weeks time, will they have another one? Or, everything is one of a kind, or at least one per year?

There is no sanction for late posting of pictures. His report was timely, no penalty attaches. Believe me, if there was a way I could stick him with a proper penalty, it would be repeatedly assessed and discussed.

the penalty continues: friendship with gpanda!!!!

robert---andy bought the mask....i am sure he would make you anything you wanted....the maker is a really nice guy...putu took us there...

i lied, putu did not take us there, another driver we used for part of a day took us there....but putu would know where...

group #7 of my pics are here (all bali):
