Update, long time comin’
So what’s up?
So many updates. This last 2 months has been so crazy, it’s hard to sum it up.
But let me try:
- Melissa’s dad passed away of terminal cancer on September 24th. Since August, Melissa has been at home (in Edmonton). We are all destroyed by this; those of you who know us know this already.
- My work contract is done in Kamloops, so I have moved back home to Edmonton to be with family and concentrate on the important things.
- We bought a 1974 Unimog 416 with a camper and expedition pedigree.
- We are in the process of fixing the Unimog up; it is in great shape, but we gotta make it our own! Pictures will follow soon!
- I fly to Conception, Chile next Monday for business! Hopefully I have the cojones to bring my 40D and take some pics.
- I will be travelling around North and Latin America for work until we leave, and hopefully will be taking pictures and writing as much as I can.
- Melissa will be going to Holland again in the spring, I wish I could go but we’ll see….

Hey guys, long time no talk! I am so sorry to hear about your Dad Melissa, I send you my thoughts and prayers.
So you are back in Edmonton? Where are you staying? It sounds like you all are busy than ever! Hopefully we will talk soon!
Take Care.
HI!!
Mike hope you are doing great in Chile!!
MELISSA i am listening to “my song” by Five remember english class! trying to get the words to that song!!
Love you guys!
RIP Uncle Ted, you are a great man who meant a lot to many. Especially Chris and I. Love you.
Melissa, Diane and I wish to express our sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of your Father.
Your wondering who is ………..Spanish class nearly a year ago with Emma.
I have not been following your odessey but once in a blue moon remember to check and see the progress. Thought you would have been in Central America by now, but things change.
I agree, the Unimog seems safer quarters, having the driving compartment accessible from the sleeping area makes for hasty departures should the need arise. The reason that I like motorhomes over trailers.
Our Spanish?? Essentially non-existant, will try again soon. I do have granddaughter Samanta (age 2½) bidding everyone, “Hasta luego” when she departs.
Anyhow, Hasta luego.
I forgot to mention that I saw your Unimog pass by the house a while back. I didn’t know that it was yours though.
Hey Mike/Melissa,
Mind my asking, but what have you folks done with the Unimog in your absence? I’ve been following your blog off and on since I originally spotted it on the Expedition Portal and it got me a bit curious.
In case you guys can’t reply here (or I don’t see it), it’d be great if you could shoot me an email (c_kirzinger@hotmail.com).
Cheers and safe travels,
Corey
