Wow! You're going to get inundated with responses, no doubt, and I just had to be one of them.
First of all, congratulations! Great to hear about your little one coming.
Second, I couldn't agree more with your decisions and I am amazed by your courage to make such a life-altering change. Keep me informed of any going away events. As noted, you're going to be very busy for the next several months so I don't want to get in the way, but I definitely want to catch up with you before you go.

- Bev Buckton, newmarket ON, 08.03.06

Congratulations Tostitos!!!
I haven't talked to you in years, but Lynn keeps me up to date on all of your adventures. i'm glad to hear that things are going full steam ahead for you, but I'm sad to hear that you are leaving TO. Even though you may not keep in touch with someone, you always feel that they are just around the corner. Well I guess that that wont be the case anymore. Good luck.
Hope that I get to see you before you're gone. Your old work friend,

- Mike Williams, stouville 08.03.06

Hey Rob, wow ... that's all I can say! ...well, I should say more: I have to commend you on making such a life changing move. I've done it before (Portugal to Canada on my own) and if it's what you want, the payoff will be worth all the trouble to get there. So you're getting off the grid, moving to a place where life will definitely be more laid back: Do you plan on remaining a graphic designer? A Photographer? Whoa! I can only begin to imagine the incredible shots you will get living in the Caribbean.

- Pedro Marques , toronto ON, 09.03.06

hey buddy
wow this is big news. first things first: Congrats on the new munchkin.
and on the move. so i guess my next visit with you guys will be somewhere warm :) cheers.

- Cory Davidson , dusseldorph Germany, 18.03.06

HOLY CRAP! Usually when I ask people about what’s going on, they don’t have much to say…
Antigua AND another baby on the way? What the???????? When the?????? What made you decide to move? And why to Antiqua so far far away?
I can’t believe you’re LEAVING! I am truly truly sad I’m gonna cry…you have no idea. I don’t think you know how much of an influence you’ve had on me since I first met you at George Brown. You don’t know this but, you were my secret mentor. I always wanted to ask you if I could apprentice with you so I could develop my graphic design skills but, I didn’t get my shty together soon enough and now I’m shyt out of luck. Procrastination never pays. I want you to know that your skills and the work that you’ve done inspires me to do better and to be better. You are a creative genius and I have no doubt that you will be a success wherever you go. I am so greatful that you will be here long enough to do my wedding and I hope we can get together outside of the wedding for a drink before you leave. When is that by the way?
All I can say is good luck to you! I wish you and your family the best of luck and all the wonderful things that life can offer.
I will call you before the end of this week to discuss the details of the ceremony… not too much to discuss now though! lol
Very very extremely sad Cheers…

- Michelle Osbourne, toronto ON, 28.03.06

Hey Rob,
Some exciting things going...congrats on the soon to arrive new baby. If I don't get a chance to run into you before moving...best of luck.

- Paul Fortune , kingston ON, 28.03.06

Rob
Great web site, great blog. I am hugely jealous, particularly seeing as I am still freezing my ass off in NFLD.
Cheers, OTT.

- Randy McMeekin, newfoundland, 29.08.06

Wow Rob, I had no idea. I love your pages, thank you for sharing your adventure! I enjoyed Antigua when I was there on biz a couple years ago. Good for you and your family! and, you miss our rotten winters. All the best and keep the blogs coming! EB
PS - this means that you can still do work for me down there?

- Ellen Boddington, toronto ON, 29.08.06

Glad to here that you are alive and well... Love to take a trip sometime in the distant future pehaps Che' and the E-man could talk about old times, who knows? Stay in touch keep me posted about life nearer to the equator.

- Peter Thomas, toronto ON, 29.08.06

i love to hear stories such as yours...that to me is living life and not letting life live you...i love it...all the best.
it's funny i've been fascinated with antigua for a while...i was thinking of travelling there last year...i would love to drop by end of january...when it's dreadful here in T.O. that time of the year...keep me posted as to how your events are going over in your new life....take good care.

- madame hair, toronto ON, 29.08.06

that's the fanciest blog i've ever seen... what a great website, photos,etc. beautiful country that i'm sure you and your soon-to-be expanded family will enjoy... keep up the updates!

- Helen Ha , toronto ON, 31.08.06

hi rob,
I'm so happy for you that things are going so well there! In a few months when winter hits all of us folks in Canada are going to be insanely jealous of your "hot hot" tropics, so enjoy it while you can.

- Leah Zhang, kitchener ON, 05.09.06

I love it all. I love the site, I love the stories, I love the pics. I love your little "struggle" adjusting to things there. It's awesome. Alot of silly things you talk about like the road conditions, customer service . . . remind me of Portugal. Take care.

- Mike Nunes, toronto ON, 19.09.06

Hey Rob,
Pretty amazing! I had a chance to look thorough some of the images and read up on your adventures. I'll get a better chance to take my time with it when I'm not in the office being pulled at from every sleeve. You're an awesome guy and I respect what you've done for your family. (I love the name Che as well....I'm assuming he's named after Che Guevara...if that's the case I read an awesome biography by John Lee Anderson a couple of years ago...he was an incredible individual.) Anyway, keep in touch and good luck with your new life!

- Francesco Policaro, brampton ON, 26.09.06

great photos! looks like youre fitting in there just right. woo-hoo! i've gotta get down there and visit soon. life here is still moving... work....workkk weekend... crazy as always... rock&roll ~k

- the Kurtman , manhattan NY, 26.09.06

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Where did u find time to make this! how did the move go? did u get everything?

- Nathan Segre, thornhill ON, 26.09.06

Nice web site. BTW, wrt the link "The Moment," "Carpe Momento" is my favorite expression. I was thinking of you at the Black Eyed Peas concert.
McMurdo and I took our pregnant wives. The band led the sold out Molson Amphitheatre during its rendtion of "Where is the Love" to the chorus of "George Bush is a terrorist."

- Jamie Wall , markham ON, 19.09.06

Let me ask you, do you have rooms for rent if I was to come and VISIT?? Sounds like a great place....LUCKY YOU.

- Christopher Baigent, toronto ON, 20.09.06

Dear Rob

I think you have moved out of Canada permanently? I saw the photos... I wish I could move like you. I wish you all the best to you and to your family. Best regards. ps: After you get settled I may take a vacation to visit.

- Joe Rawas, mississauga ON, 20.09.06

Great idea. I will try not to be too jealous. Willow is very cute. If you ever need a guest room back in TO feel free.

- Laurie McFarlane, toronto ON, 29.08.06

Bready my boy. I am sooooooooooooooooo envious. That gray haired guy---is that you??? Oh well at least you have hair lad!!!

- Brent Gabel, california USA, 29.08.06

I admire you on your move. cool web site.

- David Robinson, toronto ON, 29.08.06

Hi Brother Rob,
You have no idea with what interest I read every word of your journal! Deep in my heart, I am so happy for you and your family to have chosen this bold move. Good on you (as they say in Australia)!
I wish you, and your family, the best of luck. Give my regards to Lois and Che (and I yet to know your youngest one's name).
Looking forward to getting more updates from you.

- Ardavan Sehatzadeh, toronto ON, 18.09.06

love the little site you have put together to update us and the PICTURES! I can't lie, when I saw that plate of food I got a lil' jealous! lol I'm happy to see that you are eating well & living well and you look GREAT!

- l'Oqenz, toronto ON, 12.09.06

- megan ransome, markham ON, 01.11.06

- Laura Wills, toronto ON, 15.06.06

take care of yourself, and good luck with your future endeavors. There's been a few crazy memories over the years, from co-op parties to dougs birthday party, and of course, raw corn. Best Wishes and Bon Voyage,

- Jeff Darragh, toronto ON, 19.06.06

I wish you and your growing family all the best in this new (and very exciting and sensible) venture. I am certain that it will be a wonderful change. please do keep in touch and let me know how you all are doing.

- Jennifer Stellings, toronto ON, 23.06.06

That's great Rob, I still can't believe your in Antigua! When are you coming back? Had a look at the pics, cool, & hot!
I'll be so jealous in no time! Might have to come visit sometime.

- Richard Marazzi, toronto ON, 09.10.06

I for one enjoy your weekly updates. Keep them coming.
I'm glad you are enjoying your new environment.

- Dr Douglas Bayley, kitchener ON, 04.09.06

Wow man seems like your having a great time in the sun! please keep me posted in your adventures. Happy new year!

- Sheldon Power, oshawa ON, 17.01.07

Hi Rob,
I love reading up on your adventureous life! I'm glad that Lois and the kids (children) arrived safely. Little Ché is absolutely adorable! And willow is changing so fast as well. Let me know when you're ready for a visitor. I'd love to come down and hang for a week!

- Teresa Rolt, mississauga ON, 01.11.06

I understand you and the family will soon be leaving Canada. And I also know how much you'll be missed. At the risk of sounding sappy I would like to say thank you for the good times. And I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

- Mike Coseni, toronto ON, 07.04.06

WOW, and WOW again.
from your blog and photos you already seem much more contented and spiritual centered ... so begs the question nature vs nurture, environmental vs. heredity? how very wonderful for you and the family to have embraced this simplified lifestyle. in a society obsessed with materials goods, it's refreshing to learn that perspectives can still be changed allowing us to appreciate the natural God given gifts around us. may that serenity be with you always.
I understand how you feel, having returned from northern England where life in the countryside for those two weeks was so far removed from the rush of the city that it was almost unbearable to come back.
I hate the way the city is intensifying with buildings going up wily Nelly and no thought for urban design. the ride down the Gardiner from the east to west has the landscape all but obliterated by these imposing condo tower. horrible, horrible.

- Frisca Ozorio, toronto ON, 29.08.06

Hey Rob/snow does not abound at the moment. Rolling out the winter tires... my son is about to strap on his hockey skates and you're probably teaching your son to stay on a surf board. the minus weather got me thinking of palm trees...hence the email. trust all is well.

- David Robinson, toronto ON, 11.12.06

Hey Rob, Thanks for the frequent updates. It nice to see that you and your family are settling in to your new home. The pics are wonderful and a window into this new world of yours. Keep me in the loop.

- Doug Scott , toronto ON, 17.01.07

Rob,
Good to hear the update Bro! Hope life is good and that ’07 brings a great year for you!! Great Blog and Hi-Octane sites…look very impressive!! Hope all is well.

- Rob Imrie, toronto ON, 17.01.07

Hello. We missed you at the Hallowe'en party and Miranda's birthday party. Your replacements are not too sociable (might not have moved in yet). It is feeezing rain here- hope your weather is better.

- Laurie McFarlane, toronto ON, 16.01.07

Hey Rob and Lois,
First I want to say that the website is beautiful Rob...you did a great job. I love it!
To both of you I want to say congratulations to your beautiful second child....WOW gorgeous!.....You're a very beautiful family.
It seems like life is great in Antigua eh? What are you both up to...Lois, what are you doin' these days, aside from being a wonderful mom...as if there's any room for anything else right now....
Thank you sooo much for sending me updates on your website I look forward to them all the time. It's rare that I would take the time to view a website like this, but the pictures and the stories are spectacular. I wish you and your family the best in this new year....may happiness fill your hearts. Peace.

- Desiree Marshall , toronto ON, 17.01.07

hope you are doing fine in your new home and environment. I got your pictures from, if I am not mistaken from the Caribean country, I can not recall the place. The pictures looked great. When are you coming back to Canada? If and when, give me a shout through E-mail or home phone, it is still the same. Have yourself and your family and Merry Christmas and a happy new year dude! Keep safe and keep in touch buddy.
Enjoy every moment of life, because it does have it's reward. The reward is seeing our children grow to be the best they can be. I hope to see you one day again, to talk about your adventures.

- Jason Olah, toronto ON, 29.12.06

I just finished looking at the calendar and honeymoon. beautiful... It is all so nice it brings back many memories and even a few tears, Thank you. Thank you. love mom XOXOXOXOX.

- mom breadner, owen sound ON, 18.01.07

I spent some time looking at your photos and got a real feel for what it is like for you to start over in Antigua. Exciting times! I loved all the family photos, too. Congratulations on the birth of Willow. She is gorgeous, just like her brother.

- Brenda Lang , toronto ON, 23.12.06

Fabulous site Rob. Great to hear you are living life to the full. What are you doing career wise exactly, I’d love to know. Keep the blogs acoming. All the very best to you and your family. Cheers from -17°C (throw in the wind factor and we’re at –29°C)

- Tasha T, toronto ON, 07.02.07

Sab and I want to know where you got that ABC book, Harvard? We don't know half the animals in that thing. We need to the teacher to go much slower for us. Looked like fun and brought a smile to all. Willow is darn cute too. You guys definitely have the right idea. Thanks for staying in touch.

- Brien & Sab , toronto ON, 07.02.07

Good stuff. Watched a few of the vids. Looks like fun. And I'm working on a Goat's Milk skin care product from Quebec.

- Rob Worling, toronto ON, 07.02.07

Love the video of the goat riding. So cute. Makes me want to move to Antiqua myself. We had goats growing up and they make fine pets and a fine nuisance of themselves!

- Julia McKinley, vancouver BC, 07.02.07
