| 1st November 2009 Gail | OKLAHOMA - From: Going South If there is any way you can stop by, we would love to have you visit us...... |
| 30th October 2009 Martha | - From: Going South Glad you are off having fun. You ought to sublet your home! We are fine. I am v. busy as usual--tutoring, working at the polls, tennis, visitors etc. We were visiting friends in their home at Hilton Head for a week. V. pleasant. Take care and happy halloween. |
| 30th October 2009 joyce appel | Neat idea - From: Going South That is a different idea of following the Civil War places. I did that with a trip I did with my kids when they were younger. Have fun. |
| 28th October 2009 Rooster | Right place, wrong State - From: Isle Royale National Park, MN Isle Royale National Park is in Michigan, not Minnesota. |
| 26th October 2009 Nancy Lerandeau | Great pictures - From: Our Entry into Canada Just one negative comment. Ganong's Factory is in St. Stephen, not St. Andrews, which is further down river toward the coast. I was born in St. Stephen and grew up across the river in Maine. We shopped regularly in St. Stephen and frequently visited Ganong's. The Chicken Bones were always my favorite treat. I bought some there last summer and shared them with friends my family who hadn't had any for while. I hope you didn't miss the St. Croix Island interpretive site. It's on Route 1, just outside of Calais. Anyway, I enjoyed your pictures. Enjoy your travels. Nancy |

My daughter Chris (whom you met in Madrid) was visiting Meredith the week before you arrived there. Too bad you weren't lucky enough to meet them -- like we did in Spain. I'm totally enjoying your travels. Thanks for keeping us in the loop! Terry |
| 26th July 2009 Jim and Joan | Norway, Iceland, Denmark,Potsdam - From: Denmark You have certainly captured my attention again. I don't think I ever fully realized how beautiful Northern Europe is until now, after reading your blogs. |

| 24th July 2009 Carol Miller | Your travels - From: So good to catch up with you at last and relive vicariously our time in Norway and Sweden, especially Bergen. Hope you spent your anniversary somewhere special and celebrated in style. We are heading to China in October for three weeks and hope to see you before fall is over. I can't recall your return date, but we do miss having you in Pgh. This town is really "redding up" for the G-20 in Sept. Carol and Bob |

| 21st July 2009 Jim and Joan | A most inviting country, Norway! - From: Norway Bergen Norway is one of the top places on my list. It seems more inviting than Russia. Beautiful pictures etc. This must be a highlight of your trip. Keep us informed. Most interesting. |
| 16th July 2009 Andy | - From: On to Helsinki Hi Maureen and Robert. Nice blog you have here. It just caught my eye that in your pictures you say "church in Stockholm" while those churches actually are in Helsinki :) Stockholm in Sweden. Otherwise keep up the good work! Antti |
| 13th July 2009 Alexander | Aaargh - From: On to Helsinki You moron! Don't you even know which city are you in! Not Stockholm but Helsinki for god's sake! |

| 11th July 2009 Elaine Griffin | - From: Oslo Wish I were in Norway, it sounds beautiful. |
| 11th July 2009 Diane Santoriello | Iceland - From: Sweden I would love to see Iceland. My only concern for you is what has the failure of its economy done to tourist prices? Love, d |
| 11th July 2009 Judy Joseph | Am enjoying it all... - From: Oslo Hello you two, Yes, I'm enjoying it all - from a distance! You two are making me tired - but the photos are helping me to "travel with you". We've been having a bit of an "adventure" ourselves - not quite so pleasant. On june 1, Seymour was told hi position was eliminated as of June 30 . After 11 yrs as IT Director in an Intermediate Unit, taking them from 1 server to 47 and getting a $1.6million to fiber-optic connect all 13 districts in Bucks county, he was shocked and deeply hurt. A new exec came in 18 months ago - and couldn't stand that Seymour's salary was so good (believe me , he earned it - on call 24/7. Anyway, we are now among the unemployed - but thank God, I applied for SS in january! We had gone on a time-share vacation the last 2 wks on May to Sedona, AZ - one of our favorite places - and ALMOST bought a 2nd home to retire in. We have no credit card dept - our cars are paid for - our only big debt is the mortgage - so we are actually thinking of moving to AZ NOW. Why wait - that is, if Seymour can find a job? So, we are "staging" our house to sell. It's emotionally and physically draining but we are making progress. Your travels keep me realizing how VERY lucky we are here in this country. Be safe, have fun and keep the travelogues coming. On this end, I'll keep you posted. Blessings and peace, Judy |

| 1st July 2009 Diane | lupine - From: Helsinki Looks like Lupine to me- I would love to see such fields. I get sticker shock just reading your posts. What a long ferry ride.

| 14th June 2009 Joan Roolf | From England - From: Into Russia We just got home from a rugged day on the roads of Southern England complaining. Round abouts, narrow roads, heavy traffic! And the places they expect you to ride bicycles! Hell on wheels! But reading your blog we had to laugh, and it felt good. Now we are anxious to read the rest of your story of Russia. Be safe! |
