Mar 4, 2007 - Cat Ba Island & Hai Phong

Lucy, you know I love you I really do, and I think we both know that I would have been beaten up on many an occasion in The Feathers, Chicagos and in fact Lloyds, had it not been for your intervention, but since leaving you for pastures new, it would seem that I am having a great deal more fun without you: Cat Ba Island Following the hit and run of the toddler, who by the way came away from the whole ordeal fairly unscathed (although I'm hoping, a lot wiser), these blokes asked me if I would like to join them for a drink, after seeing me sitting down for dinner alone.Lucy, you know I love you I really do, and I think we both know that I would have been beaten up on many an occasion in The Feathers, Chicagos and in fact Lloyds, had it not been for your intervention, but since leaving you for pastures new, it would seem that I am having a great deal more fun without you: Cat Ba Island Following the hit and run of the toddler, who by the way came away from the whole ordeal fairly unscathed (although I'm hoping, a lot wiser), these blokes asked me if I would like to join them for a drink, after seeing me sitting down for dinner alone....

Mar 31, 2006 - Haiphong Vietnam

After dinner in a soup kitchen with home made beer, which we really like, I took the kids home for a bath and to watch TV, while the others went out for a drink. The cheapest we found in Haiphong was 30cents, but then they ran out. ... Anyway they had a wild time, judging by the photos, drinking and carousing with the locals.After dinner in a soup kitchen with home made beer, which we really like, I took the kids home for a bath and to watch TV, while the others went out for a drink.
