Okay guys, I'm soo sorry for making you wait 3 months! I'm worse at updating this than my diary! I'm soo sorry and I understand if your frustrated, but on the bright side, maybe this break will bring in a few new readers. I'm also really sorry about this chapter probably totally not worth the wait but on the bright side also, spring break is starting tomorrow, I promise I will update during that. Thank you for your patience and cooperativeness. :D This is kind of like a interlude/ summary of what happened during country hopping, Isabella is a much better updater than I! Hope you enjoy, and please review!

Dear Diary,

We landed in China safely, I suppose you could guess that from the fact I'm writing, but simply it's amazing here. Light and airy. It's oh so clean, one could get used to this! Enough for now, I must go sight seeing!

Dear Diary,

We got to the airport yesterday and asked as usual for a Feng Fu Rui which as it turns out is Ferb's name in Chinese. There is no one in China with that name unfortunately, unless they died. There's a Feng Fu Rui in the death records from about a month ago, maybe that's Ferb! It's quite possible he faked his own death. Which seems like a very Ferb thing to do.

On another note, I am so frustrated with myself! Phineas made this cute little dipping bird ting that's a replica of the one's we've seen here only out of pipes and I don't know what possessed me but I yelled at him. For no reason at all! What a horrible wife I am to him! I'm going to go eat some salt. Been wanting that a lot. Strange…

Dear Diary,

In the air again, the china lead ended in a dead end. But a shop keeper said he used to be a friend of Feng's and that he was a world traveler and that he talked a lot about people not dieing who were thought dead, strange, maybe he's hinting at something. I'll never know though…

Phineas looks so cute when he's asleep… he made me another creation today! But he says I can't open it till we touch down in our next stop Poland.

It's a bit out of the way but when we talked to Baljeet he said he got a good lead from Poland telling him that he knew something about a man named Jarogniew Ostrowski who was mentioned in one of the emails Baljeet gave us. Hope this lead gives us something!

Oh! I almost forgot! I saw Holly today, who knows why she was in China, but it was nice to see her again. We went out and got coffee (Hard to find in the place we were in in China) she told me about her family and how she's engaged to one of the people she met a while back on a trip to Africa. She seems happy. Though I'm not sure why that girl left the Fireside Girls! She has a debt still to pay! Why did she insist on campfire badges being made indoors!

I need to talk to her.

-Isabella

"Isabella, are you okay, you seem pretty shaken up, normally writing calms you down, what's the matter?" Phineas pleaded.

"Holly, why did that girl leave the Fireside Girls!" Isabella said as she pounded he fist on the airplane tray in front of her bumping the person in front of her who in turn, turned around to glare at her.

"Calm down! You know as well as I do that her family got transferred to Germany." He rested his hand on her hand trying to calm her down.

"But she left with out asking me first! It's common curtsey to tell your superiors before any one else your leafing! She didn't have to leave!"

"Yes, she did, the military doesn't change their minds that way, according to the whims of little girls. Now, what is the matter, you've been acting strangely, it concerns me."

"What does it matter to you, you don't care!" She began to sob as Phineas began to wonder if something was seriously wrong with her, or possibly her mental stability was off. He wrapped his arms around her sobbing body as he thought to himself and wondered if she was fit for travel, he loved her after all, and loving somebody means thinking for others when they themselves can't think correctly, right?

Dear Diary,

We are here in Poland and as it turns out that lead was a great one! The man said that a person matching Ferb's description was there about a month ago and worked for him gathering fish to sell in the market. He said he was a very good fisher, the fish seemed to nearly jump into his lap. He also said he had a person with him, who didn't talk much. I wonder who that is.

-Isabella

Dear Diary,

We stayed at a hotel close to the fisherman's house and he said that 'Jaro' was talking about fulfilling a want to go to Kenya all his life. Guess where were going now?

Dear Diary,

We are on the plane to Kenya today, it's a bit different from the rest because were flying there in a bush plane. Scary! Phineas insisted we land in Paris for a couple of hours so he could 'fix up' the plane, guess that means the plane won't look like a bush plane anymore after he gets his hands on it! Frankly, I'm okay with that so as I write this I'm sitting watching him measure the wings for modifications. That's the Phineas I fell for.

-Isabella

Dear Diary,

We have officially arrived in Kenya, and the locals around here call Ferb the 'mysterious green haired boy' . They called him Juba meaning Born on Monday because he arrived Monday 3 weeks ago. They say (The locals) that he stopped to give some medicine to the people and left as quickly as he came. This is a complete dead end, I guess were going by the e-mails again. So, to Mexico! Though I don't understand why Ferb had to go this way, it's a rather complex route, wouldn't I have made more sence to go in a strait line, I guess that's Ferb.

-Isabella

P.S. Phineas thinks that I need to go to a mental hospital because of some 'mood swings' though I have no idea what he's talking about. I've never gotten mad over petty little things and then broke down crying, oh well.

January 29

Dear Diary,

Viva la Mexico! We had a lead from one of the locals pointing us towards Chihuahua, Mexico he seemed really paranoid though, like he wasn't supposed to be telling us the information he did. Oh well, Viva la Mexico!

-Isabella

The two stepped out of the plane onto the hot of mid summer/ winter in Mexico. It was Hot! The sun beat down as the two crawled out of the plane.

"I think we should go back to the plane, it was air conditioned. "Isabella whined.

"It's all to find Ferb, and Vanessa for that kid… oh dear I forgot his name, oh well, I'll remember sometime."

"Who are we looking for this time?" Isabella asked as she fit her hat to her head, trying to attract heat with her black hair, a nearly impossible task.

"Fermin Rios."

"Do we have any information?"

"No, so were going to have to look up the people records."

"That won't help much, they don't keep files like Americans do, people could completely disappear and it would be very easy. "

"So how do we go about this then?" Phineas asked after a pause.

"That's the challenge."

"Let's get started."
