| 16th October 2009 Jo Trouble | Worth the cold - From: Sightseeing in Hubbard Glacier Definitely looks like it was worth getting cold for. I love the shades of blue in the glacier! |
| 2nd October 2009 SharkLady | Love your pictures - From: Charming Sitka Isn't Sitka just beautiful? I love Mt. Edgecumbe, the volcano. You know I've lived in Juneau for almost 5 years and the land never ceases to amaze you. Some days, you forget its beauty until you walk out your door and a picture moment is awaiting you. Whether it's the Mendenhall Towers being coated in snow in Juneau, sunset at Auke Bay, or even just a raven attacking your trash and being so sneaky and deceptive because you know you packed it especially tight to outwit him. Alaska, Southeast Alaska especially, is a truly amazing place. Glad you got to see it! :) |
| 28th September 2009 property hermanus | Amazing place - From: Resting in Luxury at Hermanus Hermanus is such a beautiful place to visit. Not only is it known for its whales but also its amazing hotels. For people looking to purchase a holiday home, there are so many great properties in Hermanus. |

| 12th September 2009 Karen C | Bo Voyage - From: Sailing Alaska's Inside Passage and beyond Ahoy there Donna and Allan. As you two sail the seas, I am raising a toast and wishing you'll bon voyage. I only just discovered "travelblog" (Oh no...don't ask where I've been hiding?) I guess we all learn something new everyday. I've never been able to travel, but that won't stop me from admiring and appreciating all those who do. At least through your lovely blogs we will learn even more about this beautiful world we live in. Looking forward to some more lovely pictures from you. |
| 10th September 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: The Chiricahuas and Sunglow Ranch, a treasure in Arizona’s backyard Christine, you'll have to check directly with Sunglow Ranch. I'm a travel writer, not a travel provider. Hope they have availability. It's a beautiful place. |

| 29th August 2009 Clara | Black Canyon of the Gunnison - From: Wandering The Black Canyon of the Gunnison’s North Rim My husband and I will be touring in Colorado in the middle of September and we have scheduled a stop at both the North Rim and the South Rim of the Canyon. We enjoy visiting touristy places but try to do it without too many tourists!! Can't wait to see the Black Canyon and am so glad you stated that the road on the north side is good. Thanks! |
| 7th August 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: Will do, Peter. I'm ashamed to admit how behind I am on this blog. My other one is getting all of my attention these days. Hope to fix that soon. |
| 6th August 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: Discovering an Alpine wonderland at Yankee Boy Basin Thanks, Brian, for informing me about skunk cabbage vs False Hellebore. Why are most poisonous plants so beautiful? At least I think this is beautiful. I guess the moral is be careful which skunk cabbage leaves you pick in Yankee Boy Basin. Readers, please don't poison yourselves. |
| 6th August 2009 Brian Baxter | Skunk Cabbage - From: Discovering an Alpine wonderland at Yankee Boy Basin Actually, the picture shown here for skunk cabbage is actually FALSE HELLEBORE, a poisonous plant who's flower resembles western skunk cabbage, and who's leaves vaguely resemble all foetidus (skunk cabbage). Foetidus does not have corrugated leaves, and are much rounder in all varieties not elongated and narrow. Skunk cabbage is edible and usefull as medicine, where as False Hellebore is just poison. Do no be confused on this as both do stink. |
| 7th July 2009 PA Leslie | Hi - From: Let me know when you are in China and Vietnam...I spend a lot of time every month in Shanghai and Saigon...would be fun to meet for a drink! Waiting to read more of your entries. Peter |
| 6th July 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: Great White Sharks are Fickle Glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for reading. |
| 6th July 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: Great White Sharks are Fickle Peter, I'm slowly finishing up South African adventures from this trip, which include a cruise from Cape Town to Rio. Stay tuned for new adventures this fall when I'll be reporting on Alaska, Siberia, Japan, China and Viet Nam. Thanks for reading. |
| 6th July 2009 liliram | One Shark Is Enough - From: Great White Sharks are Fickle What an adventure! Thanks for sharing this blog with us. I don't have the nerve to do what Ted and Mike did, but I can experience it vicariously through your blog. Cheers! |
| 6th July 2009 PA Leslie | Hi! - From: Great White Sharks are Fickle Did the same thing 11 months ago. Sad to read you saw only one shark. I had the chance to stay in the cage for 3 times 20 minutes...and it was quite amazing. But glad you enjoyed your hotel! Where is your next blog from? Peter |
| 26th May 2009 PA Leslie | Great Blog - From: Monument Valley, an Early Morning Photo Shoot before Saying Goodbye Hi, going through some of your entries lately. This one is amazing...and it's clearly on my to do list one of these days...thanks a lot for the pics! Peter |
| 25th May 2009 Peter | Great blog! - From: Resting in Luxury at Hermanus I see we enjoy a lot of the same things in life...can't wait to see your sharks pics. Went twice in around Hermanus...an love the place. I did the sharks in Aug 2008 and it was amazing...Birkenhead seems to be a gorgeous place. |
| 17th April 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: Not much of a sunset but the views are dramatic at Island in the Sky Thanks for the tip. I can't add a lens to my Panasonic Lumix but I can sure use a tripod. |
| 8th April 2009 Paula | That bird - From: Rhinos come out to play before the storm is a yellow billed hornbill |
| 17th February 2009 Alan and Donna | - From: Zebra and Hippo sightings, before saying goodbye to the South African bush Ok, you caught me with an unfinished blog. This week, I'll work on the remaining posts. From safari to Brazil, with a stop at Napoleon's island prison. |
| 16th February 2009 Anne | What happened next? - From: Zebra and Hippo sightings, before saying goodbye to the South African bush I love reading your blogs, but.....what happened next? Was that the end of your trip? Weren't you supposed to sail to South America? |
| 29th December 2008 Lori | Xmas 2008 - From: Hannagan Meadow Lodge: Looking for Snow in Arizona My husband, son, and I just returned from a very wintery holiday!! While there was no, or minimal snow, in Alpine, snow began to blow and get thicker as we climbed the gradual 1000' elevation to the Meadows! By the time we settled in our comfy Leopold cabin, the winds were gusting, and within 24 hours, the road was impassable, closed even! We were stranded! Yes!!!!! It was lovely to watch the drifts grow and grow--measuing the inches (feet) of snow by how they measured by your neighboring cabin's rock and stone chimney. Although we were isolated and alone in the world for over one day, the plows finanally came thru (pooh) and we emerged from our cabin to a winter wonderland. Blue never looked so blue--the sky was sapphire. The whiteness was blinding and so pristine. We snowshoed and XC skiied. My body, none to gently, reminded me that I was not 20 any more, but it was so wonderful to escape to a winter wonderland, similar to that I grew up in. We live in St. David, AZ--only 3 1/2 hours away, but it was everything this Maine girl needed for Christmas!! |
| 5th December 2008 Keith and Pete | thanks for the trip! - From: Tonight, it's all about giraffe We really have enjoyed these lastest entries! |

| 28th November 2008 Al | tub with a view - From: A lioness stalks tonight Imagine relaxing in that tub at sunset, glass of wine in hand. (That's probably what you'll have done when you read this). A |
| 26th November 2008 Luxury Villas | Great Pictures with Wonderful Scenes - From: Another day, another game drive Really wonderful pictures. I felt like i have enjoyed the trip. |

| 25th November 2008 Alan and Donna | - From: Another day, another game drive TeamTurner, I remember your blog posts about Sabi Sands. Enjoyed reading them. Yes, Alan brought his telephoto lens. He's shooting in RAW format so I'll be adding his photos after we return home and he's had time to process them. |
| 25th November 2008 TeamTurner | Enjoy - From: Another day, another game drive It was about this time last year that we were in Sabi Sands. A wonderful place!! It looks like you had as much fun as we did!! I hope Alan brought his telephoto lens. :) Enjoyed the pics, TeamTurner |
| 23rd November 2008 Al | the big cats - From: Rain in the morning, lions at night Fantastic photos of the lions. They make you feel like they're ready to get up and step out of the frame. Al |

| 18th November 2008 Tiffani and Jared | back in the late 1800's - From: Vicksburg, a city that wears its history well We just got home from the Baer House Inn in Vickburg, MS and had a wonderfully time. Our stay at the Baer House was wonderful and the hospitality was great. Thanks Doug (Breakfast was awesome)!!! We did not get to do everything we wanted, but we will go back at another time. We ate well while in Vicksburg. We ate at Borello's downtown on Washington St. for lunch which was really nice. Anchuca for dinner which was awesome. Anchuca was a smaller place, but had a great atmosphere, great service, and the food was out of this world. We also ate at Beechwood (does not look the best from the outside, but the food and service were very good). I have never stayed so full for so long. The food was just all that good. There are so many things to do. If you like history, touring old homes, and shopping, you will enjoy your stay in Vicksburg. And I do recommend that you give Doug a call at the Baer House Inn. Tiffani and Jared |
| 11th November 2008 Al | safe journey - From: We're Roaring to go Bon voyage. The past photos you and Alan shot wonderfully capture the essence of the place. And your words bring the visit to life. Waiting to be immersed in Africa. |

| 5th August 2008 Iemke | Bali versus Bali Hai - From: Bali, an exotic island Bali is one of my favorite places on earth. I have a time share in Tubang. But I am writing about the disparity between the romanticized image of Bali and the "real Bali". These pictures are great. It is nice to see people enjoying the wonders of Bali.

| 5th August 2008 Iemke | eating stingray - From: Romantic Moorea When I was in Korea recently I ate stingray. It is not bad, a bit chewey. I would not go out of my way to get more of it! See: travelblog.org/Bloggers/Iemke |
| 23rd July 2008 Alan and Donna | - From: Discovering an Alpine wonderland at Yankee Boy Basin Keep checking the blog, Laura. I'll be writing about Engineer's Pass soon. |
| 22nd July 2008 Laura | Thanks - From: Discovering an Alpine wonderland at Yankee Boy Basin This brought back many wonderful memories for me. In 1969 I did this drive with my parents in our VW bus! I can still remember the overhangs that forced us to the edge of the narrow road with harrowing drops right next to us. I also remember the remains of mining settlements and marvel that they are still there 40 years later. Thanks for sharing - I would love to know how you did on Engineer Pass- we did that several different summers. Thanks! |
