| 27th June 2009 Daughters Of Samoa | We Love Our Homeland AS & WS - From: Splendid Samoa, a few karaoke songs, and some American beer!

| 16th January 2009 Traveller1969 | SAD - From: Going Nowhere Anytime Soon... I agree, Hapaii is a fantastic island, I was there in 1991 and 1993. I think itīs sad though, that they now have a guesthouse on Uoleva, when I was there-we slept under the stars on the beach and the only living thing on the island, except for us where some pigs and wild horses....It starts with a small charming place and ends with a resort, then another one... But it was interesting reading, brings back memories :) / Keep on travelling:) Robert from Stockholm Sweden;) |

| 3rd February 2008 glynis | thanks for keeping in touch - From: Ashley's Going Away 'Again' I know you make your folks soooooooooo proud! To read your blog is better than a James Patterson novel, whom I and many others love. But yours is so much more worldly and fun! You must consider being an author when you get all these travels "under your belt"...if that will ever happen. You are truly your father's daughter! Know we will be thinking of you and your family often from our little Iroquois County...and praying for a safe voyage. So looking forward to your each and every blog entry. God Speed...Be Safe...Have fun...And hug your mom for me!!! glynis |

| 16th June 2006 Leigh | brings back memories - From: Bus buddies and work woes. Just had to drop a line to let you know I really enjoyed your entry, especially the discription of overnight bus experieces. After a few months travelling south east asia I have a few of my own! I've been stationary in Canada for about 2 months now and your stories bring back great memories. Yes, I know that the thought of arduous bus journeys seems an unlikely basis for happy memories but as uncomfortable (and sometimes downright painful) as they are at the time, they a fun to look back on...later. I can't wait to be back on the road. Happy travels. |

| 30th May 2006 dede | - From: Out and About in the Tropical North Ashley...you're having way too much fun. Keep it up! Sorry to report that you did not capture any of the "big money" from the KY Derby Pool. Funny thing, most of it stayed right here in the state! Had a great lakehouse time and swim with your Mom and sisters over holiday weekend. Always too short of a time spent enjoying ourselves. Love your journals and adventures. Keep then coming. Be safe. |

Even though I'm a few thousand miles away, it feels like I am sitting atop a temple wall, feeling the sun's heat press against my face. Keep writing, and keep the pictures going, you're an inspriation to all of us. miss ya ~tom - Tommy |
| 25th May 2005 anonymous | Memorial Day Fun - From: Around and around Angkor Wat. Hey Ash, Still enjoying all of your descriptive narratives of your travels - great pics too! Send us some of your warm weather for the family Memorial day weekend at the lakehouse. It's a work party - re-roofing, dock repair, yard maintenance, etc. Sure you wouldn't rather be here?! Won't be long before we'll get to see you in Sept. You'll be in such great shape with all that biking! Love, Donnie - Donna van Dyke |
| 23rd May 2005 anonymous | - From: Good Morning Teacher! Hi Ashley: You hit the nail on the head with education...being a creative teacher is the best and most fundamental attribute to having children learn. Those bananas are the same as in the Philippines...just lots and lots of them from market to market as in your "gas stations". Keep enjoying the adventure!! dede - dede |
| 20th May 2005 anonymous | FMP circa 1974 - From: Full Moon Party!! Comment to LIZ. Your dad has forwarded me this "BLOG" which I have never heard of before. I believe after the descriptions of the events, W.E. was probably present for one of these around 1974 without the knowledge of C.C.!!! Also seen photo albums of Thai, Laos, etc. Great photos! National Geographic quality. Sounds like you guys have had a WEALTH of cultural learning in just a short time. I KNOW Billy will enjoy and learn FAR more than he ever expects to(yes he will have a good time, but he will have life-long learnings as well) Be sure to email your folks. Best Wishes Ed- your Kentucky cousin!! - redmaned |

| 31st March 2005 anonymous | Lao eatery - From: Listening to the Rice Grow In Carmel we have an establishment like you described in Lao...it's called bd's mongolian barbeque...all you can eat stir fry meals - you chose what you want and the spice combinations and there's a big stir-fry pit you stand around and watch everyone's meal cook - delicious!! Of course in Carmel it's a bit more pricey!! Continue your fun!! - Donna Van Dyke |
| 14th March 2005 anonymous | card games - From: Fried Slugs Anyone? Got any new card games to bring home for the family reunions?? "Shithead" was the last popular one the family really enjoyed...what's popular in your region there?? HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOUR TRAVEL MATES!! - Donnie |
| 28th February 2005 TrvlnJoe | HOw Jealous I am - From: Fried Slugs Anyone? If you need any help or questions on Thailand, email me and I can maybe help. I've spent the last 4 summers there in the region. |
| 28th February 2005 anonymous | clothes - From: Fried Slugs Anyone? Ashley: Page has the same comments about her clothes as she continues her travels in New Zealand, but she has a solution: she's hopping over to your sister Carrey's place in Australia on March 10th and "borrow" some of her chic things that don't harbor the smell of fresh tuna! I think you should try the cockroaches. You don't want to have any regrets that while in Thailand do as they do...be safe. dede - dede |
| 27th February 2005 anonymous | Get up and do something? - From: Fried Slugs Anyone? That was the only thing I didn't get. Get up, of course. You can do whatever, whenever you like, or not. I don't think I would have eaten roaches (on purpose) either but I did munch a minnow once. In the Phillipines they eat something called balut(sic)? It is a nearly hatched duckling that is pickled. Maybe Thailand has it too! It's good to see you girls are having the adventure you wanted! - Ron Gorrill |
| 27th February 2005 anonymous | Wish I was there! - From: Amazing Thailand Hey Ash, It is great to hear that you are having such a great time. Just reading your journal makes me wish I was there. Continue to be safe and I look forward to reading your next journal. - Em (M&M) |
| 26th February 2005 Eva | chaing- rai - From: Amazing Thailand well, you must be the first person i hear that actually likes bangkok, haha! me, i couldn't wait to get out of that city! if you are heading up north, one really nice place to go is chiang- rai. everyone tends to forget about it inbetween going to chiang- mai, and hitting the border to laos. you can get some good trekking here, and it's less party- party than chiang- mai! since you seem to have enough time, do not miss it!! the night market is a must, and the teepee bar is an alternative option to the boring farlang bars around kao sarn road, haha! ;) there's a cool french guy that works there, and it's a really mellow place! anyway, good luck, god speed and all that! ;) x eva |
