are not unrealistic. That said, I would still be interested in a look plus if someone mentions silversmiths they instantly have my undivided attention.

I'd love to take a trip back to Hanoi and recently we were in Thailand. Some time was spent in and around Bangkok and two weeks in and around Cha Am. I fell in love with Thailand all over again after a 22 year hiatus...oh dear, where does the time go!

Seeing places in the north of Bali that I've never been to and revisiting others again after many years has huge appeal. It must be close to 30 years ago that I stood on a beach in the very north and visited the village of Tianyar, among a few other places. I did the journey around Bali with 4 friends and our guide came from Tianyar village where we met his lovely family. It was a great experience for us all as Bali was new to us then and we were new to Bali (i.e. I think we were a bit of a novelty).

Hi Mark, how are you and your family?.....I imagine your children are growing up. Hope all is going extremely well.
