Everette's Guestbook

Amazing
I finally sat down and looked through some of the photos you have posted. Needless to say, they are amazing. How fortunate you are to be able to enjoy all these beautiful places and people. I'm looking forward to the photos from Ireland. That is my dream vacation. I'd love to visit the western coast, stay in a cottage and mingle with the locals at a real "pub"!

Everette, so glad I get to travel the world and you and Walt get to foot the bill for me. I love seeing your pictures and reading about all the places you see. Wonderful trip for all of us who still sit at home. Have fun for all of us!!

What a trip!!!!
Beautiful photos. Interesting blog. Can't even imagine all that you have seen and experienced.

Blog and photos
I sure do enjoy your blog and looking at your photos! Thank you so much for sharing them.

Communism vs Socialism
One definition of Communism is "extreme Socialism." Cubans get very cheap food, free education, free med, cheap transportaion, subsidized/free housing--even free funerals. In a recent "legal" trip to Cuba, I saw the results of Communism--squalor and poverty, virtually no cars or motorbikes. There is no incentive to work-no ambition. MDs and degreed architects make abot $40 per month (US equiv). Why would anyone bother to train to be a profession? Best-pay comes from tips as a tour guide--a bus driver gave up his Dentistry practice, because he makes more in a week or two (tips) than he does as in a year as a dentist. Everyone seems to be happy with their "free stuff." Think Joe the Plumber and "income redistribution." Reminds me of the Democrats. Oh well, you got what you voted for. Saul Alinsky would be proud.

The women who saved Walt
So glad to make your acquaintance and to read of your travels. I'm one of the Wednesday Scotch and Cigar crew. I basically rant and get smoke blown on me but I love hanging with old timers like Walt. He is always very honest about his life experiences. He told us that you saved his life. There is no higher praise that I can think of. Hugs to you my new friend. Enjoy Cuba.

Thanks
Everette, Many thanks for your wonderful pictures and travel stories. Happy that it all turned out so well. If you ever see us at a PAX terminal, you owe me a cold beer! Happy traveling, Marv Jacksonville, Florida

Enjoyed the blog with pictures, all very visible. j.

Everette, One hundred blog entries is very impressive. I\'ve certainly enjoyed keeping up with you over the years. Is it just me or does Dad look a little like Ghengis in the photo of you two in front of the statue? Thanks and have fun, Brian

WEll, that dinner sounds delicious! You are so blessed to be doing this.

I always thought that the eastern part of Russia was considered to be in Asia. On Travelblog, Russia is only listed under Europe. I am not sure why.

wonderful
Thanks for sharing. It sounds fantastic. I know this will be one of your favorite trips.
