Hi, WE'RE DAN & FRANCESCA,

"Damn Dan - everything was going swimmingly until I read about the Tuk Tuk accident - so sorry to hear about that and the injuries to Francesca and Ligaya - I can imagine the terrible guilt that I surely would also be feeling but as you say taking the positives the kids were not hurt, you were not drunk and there was insurance... fingers crossed for the fastest possible recovery".

"You have blessed your family with a super-power of the ability to look at the world through more than an American (cultural) lens. Far too often we judge others based upon American values, and fail to consider truly why others behave/think the way that they do.Well done. Safe travels".
Jim Miller
"What a fantastic way to embrace not only your family, but your individual children, their place as well as your own in this great big world. You are raising citizens of the world, not one insular town or country and that is such an amazing feat".
