| 13th May 2008 Danielle Whipp | - From: Chıllıng ın a tree house! Having these pictures makes a world of difference in being able to envision what you are experiencing. Everything looks gorgeous! I can't imagine sleeping in that shack of a treehouse. No wonder you froze. Remember the professionally built treehouses we made as kids? Or Barbie's Dreamhouse? Now I bet you wish you could cart that around in your pack - Harry Potter style. The Rocks from the Mediterranean Sea remind me a lot of the ones from Los Cabos! I hope you feel better Erin! It isn't nice to be sick when you're trying to explore. Eat lots of that hearty, cheap food! Love you! Danielle |
| 13th May 2008 Kristen | - From: Chıllıng ın a tree house! Wow, for a minute there I thought you'd made your way back to Los Cabos when I saw that picture from the Mediterranean Sea! Not exactly the same, I guess...haha. Sounds like you're seeing some amazing things! I love that you've been adding pictures. Keep them coming!! Take care, Kristen |

Good to hear and see all your travels and glad to hear you are enjoying your travels. I sure enjoy seeing all your pictures and comments of your travels - what a wonderful experience for you. We miss you. Everyone here says hello and hope you are well. I guess this is your first Mother's Day away is it? Keep the faith and keep yourself safe and thank you so much for sending me updated on your travels. Love Aunt Marlene |

So far your adventures sound great and you are seeing so much. We are enjoying them. Take care and be safe. Love you. Love Dad and Mom XXXOOO |

| 8th May 2008 markandshelbywhipp | Hello from Canada - From: Enjoying my breakfast on the sea-side terrace Hi Erin, We are happy that your travels are going well. Sounds like you are seeing many new things. We are glad that there is such nice people along the way to help you. That is too bad that you had to pay for another visa. You would think that the Canadian embassy would have English speaking employees to help you. That is so frustrating. We are going to have a long session of looking at your pictures of all these sights and countries you have taken on your travels. We look forward to that. Take care and be safe. We Love you. Love Dad, Mom and Chevy. XXXOOO |

Let me know more about the visas... if you had problems just imagin me... By the way I agree with Vodka point, it does make train journeys easier, well at least in "platskartny". See You Soon XOXOXO |

| 3rd May 2008 markandshelbywhipp | St. Petersburg sounds beautiful - From: Beautiful St. Petersburg Hi Erin, Great to hear from you. We await each time for a new blog. St. Petersburg sounds beautiful and full of history. I would like seeing the palace and cathedrals. It was nice that you got to have a bonfire and visit with students from all over the world. I am happy that you are cautious. Keep being smart like that Erin. I have started a book with all your blogs in it and have a copy for Grandma to read. Take care. We love you. Dad and Mom XXXXOOO |

We very much enjoy hearing about your experiences and it was nice to talk with you on the webcam. It so nice to know you have people to help you on your way. My computer has to get checked out because it is really slow and doesn't let me go online. I am using Danielle's now and will try to continue doing that so we are still in touch. Enjoy your visit to Moscow. Talk soon. Love you. Love Dad and Mom XXXXOOO |
| 30th April 2008 Danielle Whipp | Moscow - From: I made it through Siberia! Hello Erin! I can't believe you are already in Moscow. And what a trip it has been for you so far.

| 27th April 2008 Artyom | Erin, good luck to you! - From: Lake Baikal in slow season... Such a brave girl to travel all around the world all alone! Everyone she met in Tomsk asked me sth like: "Does she travel alone?? It cannot be true!" :) Good luck to you Erin, looking forward to hearing from you soon on your blog! |
| 24th April 2008 markandshelbywhipp | Beware of old men and drunks on beach - From: Lake Baikal in slow season... Hi Erin, Glad to hear that you are feeling better. You are right to stay away from that old man. It is better to be cautious. It was nice that you met a Canadian to see things with. You will have many new friends by the time your travels are over. You sure have had excitement on your travels, first nearly falling in manhole, and then the tire blowing with a near wipeout. I am so glad you are safe Erin. Today I was raking and doing yardwork. Dad was discing the field across the road. The darn blackfly are starting to come out this afternoon. Friday is Laura's birthday and we are going there for a barbeque. We have enjoyed your travel comments. Take care. Love Dad and Mom XXXXOOOO |
| 23rd April 2008 Kristen | - From: Lake Baikal in slow season... Well, it is reassuring to know that a nice person or 2 can be found in all corners of the world! Keep the updates coming! I'm always pleasantly surprised when a new email arrives! You're really on top of this blog thing!! Take care!! xoxo |
| 23rd April 2008 M Carrick | Hi Erin - From: Privyet Russia! Hi Sweetie: how are you doing? hopefully after a good night's sleep and some decent food you will feel better. It is amazing how we are so use to fruits and fresh veggies. good luck finding some. I was home on the weekend for Melanie's shower and saw your parents, they are really tanned from their Forida holiday, lucky buggers. your farm is looking nice and green , I thought Chevy had lost weight since I last saw her. Leland and Mason sure are cute. Growing really quickly take care love Mic |
| 18th April 2008 markandshelbywhipp | - From: Look out for the manholes... Well Erin you sure do have a great adventure everyday. We are so happy you didn't fall into that manhole.

| 18th April 2008 Aunt Mic | Hi Erin - From: Look out for the manholes... Very interesting people you are meeting, did you learn any of the language when you were in Korea. I realize they all speak a different language, are any of the words becoming familiar?? I bet you will find the local liquor very different from ours, no quality control over there. Can't wait to see your pictures we will have to have a post travel party. take care and look after yourself, don't be hanging with any really weird people Love Aunt Mic |
