| 28th July 2009 Natalie Boyd | Looks gorgeous - From: Scotland...now with pictures! Only 10p each. What gorgeous photos! Looks like you have had a wonderful journey. My husband and I just spent over 6 months backpacking to various countries around the world. Feel free to check out www.nomadbackpackers.com for some of what we learned and experienced. Fort Fun is a local Put-put Golf Place, here in Fort Collins, Colorado. That's not where you got your name, is it? |
| 19th July 2009 Ruth or Mom | Wow! - From: 62 Degrees North in July. Very impressive pictures of Norway. What an adventure you are having. I hope you continue having a great time and that you will keep us all updated on your trip. I guess it is almost over, isn't it? When do you fly back home? I love you. |
| 16th July 2009 anonymous | - From: Syria to Scandinavia Exploring Istanbul... sigh... (Not to self: Do not envy, Bethany.) What did you think? |
| 16th July 2009 anonymous | - From: Take A Good Hard Look, 'Cuz I'm Sailing On A Boat Are all Danes such beautiful people? I haven't been there, but the 3 I know personally are exceptionally beautiful. Any my advice is: don't think about going back to work when you're in such interesting places. Look at it as two more weeks full of adventures! |
| 14th July 2009 Vladimir Chen | Thanks for sharing great pics - From: Take A Good Hard Look, 'Cuz I'm Sailing On A Boat Very interesting post! Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, Copenhagen offers lots of things to experience. It's a shame that you did not experience (or might have on Sunday), the bustling city of CPH on Friday right by NyHavn with some Jazz music and breeze by the water ... usually lot's of people including tourists gathering after work/long day of exploration .. nice and friendly atmosphere. Yes, Copenhagen is generally expensive but as long as you prepare yourself for that it should be fine especially if you are here for a short stay. I love your pictures .. the last one made me laugh and actually remember a story back when my American friend just for the first time came to Denmark and while driving on the highway she noticed a road sign that said "Max fart 70" ... assuming it had to mean something more meaningful she was really amused and made a joke out of it and then of course we laughed a lot. Well .. that funny Danish language ;) |
| 14th July 2009 Andrew | Photos - From: Take A Good Hard Look, 'Cuz I'm Sailing On A Boat Its really amazing photos... thanks for sharing.. ___________________ Andrew The Best PRICE for the BEST ENTERTAINMENT |
| 12th July 2009 Fort Fun Granola Boy | Travel in the Area - From: Istanbul...Constantinople? ...And Points Between Hellina, It is quite affordable to take the trains throughout Syria, and would have been quite reasonable all the way thru Turkey to Istanbul but the schedule just didn't work out for me. Flights are not necessarily cheap, a one-way flight from Damascus to Istanbul on Turkish Airlines will run about 200 US. Syrian Air may have flights cheaper, but when I checked they tended to depart in the middle of the night. But either a train journey or flight can more or less be booked whenever and you probably won't have problems with availability this time of year. Hope that helps! -steve g |
| 12th July 2009 hellina | - From: Istanbul...Constantinople? ...And Points Between cool.. quick question, is it easy/affordable then to travel by plane or train around the region.. u said you wanted to take a train to istanbul which would have been a long ride, but then flew.. so is it simple to book a flight or rail ticket so suddenly? also how did your visa work? thanks, im kinda thinking of the same trip in a while |
| 8th July 2009 Ruth | The Incident - From: Istanbul...Constantinople? ...And Points Between Just wondered what happened in "The Incident". I see that your knee is injured, but what happened? Hope nothing too traumatic. Also, just wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying your blogs and pictures. It is awesome that you are making this trip, but I know that I could not do it. It would be rather scary, I think. Stay safe. |
| 1st July 2009 Bethany Scott | glad you're alive - From: Who wants some Jordan?? We miss you too! It was fun having you here. You got great pics, here and in Jordan! I'm jealous about Mt. Nebo. Keep the posts coming so we know you're still surviving the driving and everything else. Are you running? Not missing our humidity, I take it. Enjoy your adventures! |
| 30th June 2009 Janelle | Awesome! - From: Who wants some Jordan?? What you are seeing and experiencing is competely awesome! I can't imagine what it would have been like to be on Mt. Nebo. Very cool Steve! |
| 28th June 2009 rachel | hmm - From: Burma, Laos, Cigarettes i definitely put my hand in the cage anyways |
| 26th June 2009 Ruth | interesting! - From: Kids. Sport. Fun. Glad that I get to see some of the experiences that you are having. It looks like you have been very busy and that you are having a good time except for the traveling in trucks, vans, etc. Take care. |
| 25th June 2009 Janelle | Monks - From: Burma, Laos, Cigarettes Who knew monks got a day off? |
| 22nd June 2009 Shari Schwarz | - From: Thai Pepper Hey, Steve! Looking forward to your tales of adventure. Have a great time and soak it all in. |
| 18th June 2009 Fort Fun Granola Boy | She's fast enough for you, Old Man. - From: LAX D$ - you'll be happy to know that our 747 made the Kessel run in less than 12 Parsecs. |
| 18th June 2009 Daryle | scum and villiany - From: LAX Did you need to blast your way out of there? |
| 6th October 2007 C.S. Hess | quite nice. - From: Life Since Then Captain, Well done. I have never had the desire to do what you obviously love doing so much...traveling. Your tales from across the pond are an encouragement & true joy to read, so I'm glad I finally had a Saturday to sit down between college football & the Colorado Rockies. I enjoyed our walk last week. Tea soon? ~chris |
| 6th October 2007 C.S. Hess | mmmm....yes. - From: Culloden and Stirling I enjoyed your comment about war...about looking someone in the eye. Garrison Keillor talks about how we have not felt the effects of war on U.S. soil in so long because our Civil War was so devastating. There is something to looking the man in the eye you are supposed to kill and realizing that you are both men and both have wives and children, and that one of you will never see them again. |
| 6th October 2007 C.S. Hess | Whoa there buddy... - From: Ft Willy to Ullapool! Do I detect a hint of elitist scowling in this one? You sound like me at a music store :). |
| 29th September 2007 Andrea Hart | Living vicariously through you... - From: Life Since Then Stevie G! I feel like I was there. I love these things. Please travel alot and write more of them for me, OK? Miss you lots, dude. (Can I pull that off?) Love ya! Oh, and just a p.s. from a mother of two small children, that is decidedly NOT Tony the Tiger, but Tigger on the cup. We'll forgive you this time..... |
| 26th September 2007 Brtian | - From: And here we go... Steve you are a talented artist! |
| 26th September 2007 c.S. | need to find you a Glenmorangie lassie - From: A Scotch as Old as I am... Yo Steve - am immensely enjoying your one of a kind portrail of your most recent adventure - will need to have you over to exchange stories of our respective Europe trips... c.S. |
| 25th September 2007 C.J. | Mr. Balance - From: Life Since Then Loved your impressions and descriptions of everything! This makes me want to plan a trip out that way. I'll be satisfied until then with scotch flights at Coops and the occasional meeting over beer. I'd love to hear more of the lofty theology you got at Oxford. Can you say Thursday? |
| 25th September 2007 tanya | Beautiness! - From: Life Since Then Thanks for writing such a wonderful blog!! I enjoyed every word and especially every photo!! I am happy your travels were so awesome and I am so happy to have you back in FoCo!! |
| 24th September 2007 Danielle | Too Cool! - From: Life Since Then Steve, You are way too nice... This blog is beyond cool! It's so neat to be able to see your pictures! I had no idea you were so into travelling! Your job sounds like a dream! |
| 22nd September 2007 amy | - From: Last Night in Oxford that's not tony the tiger, it's tigger! |
| 19th July 2006 Daryle | Good story - From: Chicago and such As I was reading I knew there was trouble when you said you parked at Ohare to see Chicago. That is like parking at DIA to see Denver. Though your way made for a better story, though these days I don't recommend playing around airports. Might find yourself in Guantanamo. |
| 18th July 2006 your sister | - From: Parents Home of coruse you had to see your family, i would be quite upset if you didn't!!!! |
| 14th July 2006 Sarah | funny little thing - From: Chicago and such I can't believe....let me start over I can believe that you didn't ask for help but what I don't understand is why you didn't ask for help.....its chicago...LOTS of people...security CAR:) But honestly, I haven't laughed that hard in while and your pictures were beautiful! I am really longing for a good trip:) Great story!!!! |
