Hi Mom! Glad you got to see some whales! I hope you got close to them while kayaking! Ryan's sister Megan is in town this weekend and I'm pretty sure Riggs is her new bestfriend. Can't wait to hear all about your trip and see pictures! Love you! Megan

Hi My Lovely. Bet you didn't expect your PC illiterate cousin to write but your trip sounds amazing and I am very envious of your courage in trying all things new. It's cold in UK & snow expected but your Buffalo winters have hopefully prepared you for cold. I hear Krakow is -28; dad talked about that sort of cold. I think it's all just too wonderful where you are to worry about temperatures! Enjoy, take lots of pics, love you lots and look forward to seeing you in July. Roz xx

I've been sharing your updates (Joe) with the family, and this is what your sister Melanie just sent back to me: I admire you so much for your sense of adventure and I am so glad you are having such an incredible trip. You truly live life to the fullest. I am proud to have you as my brother. I love you and your family.

Hi friend! It all sounds amazing! Wishing you wonderful and safe adventures. Missing you. XOXO

For: Kathy K.

Penguins and whales?!?! Sounds like heaven to me. I suppose I'll finish my night with a floss instead of seafaring, so that there isn't a DIFFERENT kind of adventure in my future. xoxo

Hi Mom! I am really looking forward to seeing your pictures, each day sounds more amazing than the last.How close do the whales come to the kayaks and zodiacs? All is well here. Just spoke with Dad and nothing new to report...he misses you but is fine and enjoying his new book. The boys are up to their usual antics and Chris and I are practicing our deep breathing skills ;) Love you! -Bianca
