To the Ladybug "possi"
It was great to meet you all and spend a couple of evenings out
together. You have a great lifestyle, I'm very envious, but I'm sure you'll
continue to make the most of it all. Good luck with it all and thanks for showing
us around the bug.

This is the first time in a boat like yours, and I would like
to say thanks for inviting me and my friends to the boat. I would like to say
it is beautiful inside the boat and everything is nice. I will never forget
that you are nice friends to me and my friend. People say it is easy to say
hello and hard to say good-bye. I would like to say "Malo e lelei".
Farewell from your friend Lola from Tonga and have a nice trip. (left)
To Dave, Stacy, Guy and Jo
May you continue to have the freedom to be yourselves and be some of the beautiful
people in this world. It has been my pleasure to have met you all and wish you
all pleasant sailing and a great life.

I think this is my second time in a boat like this and I say thanks.
I say thanks to you guys for meeting me and my friend. The boat is beautiful.
I will not forget you in my heart. You people are nice to me. I would like to
say it is easy to say hello and hard to say good-bye. "Malo e lelei".
Farewell from Susana and have a good trip.(right)
"Malo e lelei " (Hello)
Oh, what a nice day we have spent together. Talking, sharing some funny stories
and having lunch together in your boat. It is great and I really appreciate
that. Thank you for your hospitality. "Malo 'Aupito". Guys, One thing
I remind you; keep smiling for life is too short!
" 'Alu A / Nofo A"
From your friend Peni Fifita.
To Ladybug,
It's always wonderful to be thousands of miles away from home and then find
people who bring you home again. "Malo aupito" for your hospitality
and for being and island of refuge for PCVs across the globe. Happy travels
and may peace always be with you on the oceans. " 'Ofa atu!"
-Beth Campbell (Peace Corps Tonga)
It was an enormous pleasure meeting you guys and a surprise to
find a Brazilian in Tonga ("da mironga do cabulete"). Thanks for dinner, or
rather lunch, so favorable. Wish you incredible moments and good winds. Until
the next time.

After meeting you by chance at the Billfish last night and inviting ourselves on board, we've got to say that we are pretty glad we ran into you! Gorgeous food (tuna steaks in particular, cheers Jo), gorgeous boat, and even better company. What more could two girls want.......! Enjoy the rest of your time in Tonga and good luck on the rest of your adventure. All our love, Julia and Maya
