| 18th February 2008 Alper | He is Mike :) - From: Gallipoli, Troy, and Lounging in Cannakale He is one of the famous comedians of Turkey; Cem Yilmaz. He was acted as in the role of Michael Knight of "Knight Rider" :) He has an old car named as KITT in the advertisement. The hairs are similar, hah :-) |
| 12th February 2008 Joy | - From: Did you know London shuts down at Christmas? We're still bummed that we missed seeing you in Dublin after Christmas last year, but understand. One of these days, they've got to start a cheap non-stop flight between Boise and Phoenix! |
| 5th February 2008 Joy | Potty Mouth! - From: The Wonders of Selcuk Hilarious photos of the "WC" sign and Roger enjoying it the old fashioned way. So did you have to pay for the "atmosphere" on the old school style WC? |
| 5th February 2008 Joy | It's Roger's Long Lost Brothers! - From: Gallipoli, Troy, and Lounging in Cannakale Roger: Judging from your "hairy" look in the photos, I'm thinking the guys on the gas station sign might be your long lost furry brothers! Interesting information on Turkey, a country I've never been inclined to visit because I've got so many above it on the "must see" list. Thanks for sharing! |
| 14th December 2007 Majdas Rooms | Hello from Mostar - From: Bosnia It is Majda and her mum. Thank you for such a detailed insight to your traveling throughout our country. Hope you will be back, and that you still remember Mostar & our Hostel. Wish you both good life. *** Majda |
| 18th October 2007 Joy | Almost caught up on posts... - From: Antalya & The Ancient Fortress City of Termessos I still love reading about your adventure. Wow, you're only about 10 months behind in posting them. Way to get right on it, Roger! Oh, and just to remind you of your love of Turkish culture...WAZZUP!!! |
| 6th October 2007 SEASANDSAND | - From: Oh How We Hate Capital One You could just send them a letter when you need to communicate- Cheaper and easier than calling! |
| 10th September 2007 Marko | - From: Lovely Slovenia In that time Slovenia was preparing to be accepted in EMU and to change Tolar With Euro. It's part of EU from 2004. |
| 28th June 2007 Jenn C. | And where are you NOW? - From: Our Welcome To Istanbul I haven't been commenting much (OK, at all) but have truly enjoyed following your adventures around the world. I can't believe it's been almost a year and a half. SO now I know where you were in November, but where are you NOW? Drop me a line and let me know. |
| 30th April 2007 anonymous | - From: Lovely Slovenia Just to correct a little mistacke - Slovenias population is about 2 million. |
| 27th April 2007 Waters | nice couple - From: Yarra Valley (June 30 - July 1, 2006) and nice travel ! |
| 6th April 2007 Franco | - From: Croatia: Zagreb And Down The Dalmatian Coast Great photos and in-depth accounts of the country. |
| 23rd March 2007 Angela | Safe Travels... a wish from Kuwait - From: Venice I have been enjoying your blog from the beginning (found it in Google as I am planning a bangkok/malaysia/singapore trip with my family this summer). Cudnt stop reading your fantastically detailed travelogue and thoroughly enjoyed my armchair travel with you. I hope you find time coz I see a big backlog you have to churn out. Good luck and safe travelling. |
| 22nd March 2007 Around the World | Re: Is Alice Springs a sacred place? - From: Alice Springs, Uluru, And Krusty-With-a-K We are probably not in a good position to say definitively whether Alice Springs is sacred. The town is pleasant enough to visit. There is a very visible population of Aboriginies and, in our experience, the spiritual nature of the Aboriginal connection to the land may be such that the land in or around Alice Springs could be sacred. Uluru and Kata Tjuta certainly have a sacred history and a spiritual feel to them. |
| 22nd March 2007 Jess | Is Alice Springs a sacred place? - From: Alice Springs, Uluru, And Krusty-With-a-K Is Alice Springs a sacred place?? |
| 21st March 2007 Sarah Greenberg from the National Trust | Love the blog... - From: Venice Hi Amy, I don't know if you remember me from the Trust but I absolutely love your blog and read it faithfully. If you have time, would you write a quick itinerary of your trip so far - just a list of where you've been and on what dates? I'm trying to talk my husband into a similar trip! Be safe and keep up the fascinating entries. |
| 20th March 2007 Mandi | I am SO with you, Amy - From: Venice Pigeons (aka rats with wings) are horrible creatures and I totally understand that a square filled with them would be your version of hell... WHO would let a pigeon perch on them?! That said, I am thrilled y'all ended up liking Venice... :^) |
| 16th March 2007 Joy | Roger and his faces!!! - From: Cinque Terre Roger, I just choked on my Diet Coke when I saw the picture of your face after drinking grappa. Before I read the note, I thought you were trying to do an impression of an embittered ol Italian grandmother. You're hilarious! |
| 11th March 2007 Rich | confusing - From: Florence I enjoy reading your blogs although it is difficult to follow with the dates all jumbled together. |
| 11th March 2007 Erin | great blogs - From: G'Day, Mate! Put Another Shrimp On The Barbie! ha ha, I got your Dumb and DUmber reference as soon as I read the title !! Love it ! You dont know me, but I have been checking out your blogs and pictures and they are wonderful !! Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip !! |
| 8th March 2007 Melinda | HAPPY BDAY Roger! - From: And 2 Becomes 4 in Rome Hope you two are still enjoying the WORLD! Find some cake and eat it too today... : ) |
| 6th March 2007 Joy | Not to be outdone in title.... - From: And 2 Becomes 4 in Rome To protect my adopted home state of Arizona, I do see that what you're referring to as a "Colorado Cheeseburger" actually says "Arizona Dream" on the side of the box. So which is it, Mr. Brown? You guys will have to come for a real burger at In-N-Out in Phoenix one of these days! |
| 6th March 2007 Joy | Bellissimo! - From: Florence I feel the jealousy welling up inside of me as I read this post and see the photos! It's all so gorgeous and I dream of one day going there as well. Thanks for the very descriptive posts! |
| 20th January 2007 Mandi | - From: Chengdu First, I am considering Buddism now that I know that Buddhas love Krispy Kremes... Second, I have no idea how y'all resisted grabbing a baby panda and smuggling it out of there... |
| 8th January 2007 Andrea | - From: 10 Days in Beijing I told you that watching the copy of Garfield: The Movie that I bought you would be crucial to your enjoyment of world travel! |
| 2nd January 2007 Joy | Sorry that we missed you! - From: Day Three Hundred Roger and Amy: We hope you made it to Morrocco safely. Sorry that it didn't work out for you two to join us in Ireland, but we look forward to seeing you in AZ sometime in 2007! |
| 19th December 2006 Andrea | Leg Cast Skier? - From: Cape Tribulation & Daintree Rainforest Umm, are you sure the lady with the cast wasn't covering up some other problem so she could meet her true love in a ski resort like Christy McNichol in that movie we've seen 400 times? It's possible. |
| 14th December 2006 Andrea | - From: Hervey Bay to Cairns These are still just as good as the first ones. Feels like I'm with you. |
| 8th December 2006 kim and Emily | We will miss you - From: Our Day at Steve Irwin's Zoo (July 16, 2006) My daughter and I will miss you so much Steve. Because of you she would like to be a conservationist when she grows up. We have watched you on television for years and feel as if we know you as many of millions of people have throughout the years. We have seen your life change, your family grow and learned so much about the animals and habitats you have protected. We are deeply greaved by your loss and pray for your family daily. May God continue to bless your family and we pray you are happy with your home in heaven, but the world will continue to feel your loss and I hope we can pick up where you have left off and leave the world and it's people a better place when we are called up yonder. Love Kim and Emily |
| 3rd December 2006 Nikole | Yummy... - From: Eating Our Way Through Turkey I am so jealous. I love Turkish food. My favorite little deli is run by two Turkish brothers and they have the most amazing food. My favorite is an eggplant dish I have no idea the name but it is fantastic. Enjoy! |
| 24th November 2006 Brian D. in DC | Hello Again - From: Bosnia at Thanksgiving I have been catching up on your travels and had missed a few entries over the past few months. Just spent the last 2 hours getting updated. Once you start reading the entries, you can't stop. Your writing is excellent and I plan on finishing my required reading of your blog tomorrow. I was particularly interested in the motorcycle trip around Vietnam. It is very interesting that you are the first Westerners that many of the people have seen. As for the food, I don't know if I could consume many of the items that you two have been eating. I probably would come back after a year at least 50 pounds lighter. Hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving and I am sorry to hear about Roger's health problems. Roger, hope you are feeling ok. Hang in there and keep posting the blog entries so I can continue my virtual tour of the world with you two. Again, I want to stress that your level of detail about your trip is remarkable. I can't remember my last meal, yet you two seem to have kept copious notes about each event in your travels. Good stuff. Hope to see you in DC. |
| 19th November 2006 Penry | Under-belly - From: The Big Banana, Byron Bay, the Gold Coast and Brisbane Roger, Your chin looks strikingly like a kangaroos under belly. Congratulations on that. Hope you two are having fun! Ahoy-me-hardy! |
| 16th November 2006 Benben | Sydney! - From: Sydney, New South Wales I currently am enraptured with "Finding Nemo," which features Sydney, and an episode of "The Wiggles" where they sail around Sydney Harbor. Plus, I guess, I have a kid sister named Sydney. But she isnt too much fun and mom always makes me be nice to her and she smells funny. But anyway, I like Sydney the City, so thanks for this. |
| 4th November 2006 Kristim Branch | wow..... - From: Sydney, New South Wales Roger & Amy! I would say greetings from Wisconsin - but i am in California at the moment... First of all - Congrats - what an amazing adventure you two are off on! Clint just sent me the link to the travelblog - and i have enjoyed reading a scattered few enteries. I can't tell you how jealous i am... Rog - you would be psyched to know I was at Lambeau Field last week when Favre took his first ever Lambeau Leap, but alas, i only watched it on TV like the rest of the country as i was in line for Bratwursts! :) I'm glad to hear your travels are exciting as i had hoped they would be. and i am excited to be in the loop now - while i can't promise to post a comment too frequently, i am excited to keep an eye on the blog... Larry Brown - if you read this - HELLO! I will write soon - it has been too long - i hope all is well. :) Ciao -Kristin |
| 24th October 2006 Hank | Re: your blogging - From: Canberra (July 2-4, 2006) Oh, is your little around the world trip tough? Is it hard to quit work and take an 18 month vacation? Is the big bad world beating you down so much you cant even type? It's hard out here for a tourist. |
| 23rd October 2006 Around the World | Our blogging - From: Canberra (July 2-4, 2006) Hank, We're hoping to blog like a bunch of rabbits over the next few weeks. We don't have the luxury of a plush government job with frequent recesses... Amy and Roger |
| 23rd October 2006 Hank | Your blogging - From: Canberra (July 2-4, 2006) You blog like old people screw. Slowly, and infrequently. |

| 21st August 2006 Eloy | - From: The Happiest Place on Earth is Not Disneyworld Welcome back. While in Shanghai, make it a point to go skyscraper bar hopping during the day.... pick any skyscraper and go to the top for awesome views and airconditioning. Also, to splurge, go to the Jin Mao Tower in Pudong, go to the 87th floor to Cloud 9 in the Grand Hyatt to enjoy a spectacular view of the Bund/City and a Singapore Sling. Miss you. Eloy |

| 9th August 2006 AronDiaz | Monkey Mahem - From: Halong Bay (May 26 - 28, 2006) Roger, your experiences with monkeys reminds me of a similar experience I had with the Barbary Apes of Gibraltar. Only there the guides actually amuse themselves by getting you to place these wild beasts on your shoulders while you feed them candy so you can get a picture to record your stupidity for posterity. |
| 8th August 2006 Andrea | Scary jungle monkeys - From: Halong Bay (May 26 - 28, 2006) How many times do I have to tell you not to feed the animals? |
| 25th July 2006 gwenbenevento | wow! - From: Hanoi Amy and Mookie: Unfortunately I hadn't checked in until just tonight, and I have already stayed up too late trying to catch up with you... but now you are bookmarked and I'll try to stay current! I love reading your journals - so vivid. You guys are a hoot. Wishing you safe travels! |

I enjoy the stories of your travels and will continue to keep you both in my thoughts. can't wait to see where you end up next. |
| 30th June 2006 Kate Hildebrand | Easy Riding with Duc - From: Easy Rider Trip from Da Lat to Hoi An (May 10-14, 2006) Hi Guys- I just wanted to say that this February I went on a 6 day tour with Duc and its so cool to see him again on Traveblog! He's great, isn't he? Well I see you had a blast with him. Enjoy your time in Vietnam-it goes by so fast. P.S. I love the Colbert Report too! |
