| 3rd December 2007 Anne Higgins | Thanks from Anne - From: Prague - Day 2 Well, Happy Pat! - I just returned from a 3-day trip and am now enjoying the last of your story. Those folks don't know how lucky they were to have Happy Pat as their leader - your blog is a wonderful work of art - I have felt as if I was taking the trip all over again when following along daily. It is 9:30 Sunday and I have a feeling that you have now touched down in Toronto - what a wild welcome winter day heralded you. Hope to see you soon. Anne |

Yes, I am feeling a bit sad, but I have picked up a cold and so it's time to get back to my own bed now! It's been a fantastic opportunity and I am grateful to have had it. To do the trip a second time was a ton of fun! I will definitely be keeping in touch! |
| 2nd December 2007 Kevin and Gail Nally Green Group 2006 | Hello From Down Under - From: Prague - Day 2 Hello from Down Under!! We have continued to follow your blog; Pat you are such an entertaining writer! You must be sad that the trip is coming to an end, but again, what an experience!! We were up north in the Borassa Valley close to Adelaide.....it was intensely hot, plus 37! Almost too hot, there I just said that. But we loved visiting the cellar doors. Now we are south, in Robe, on the ocean; Lobster for dinner tonight!! (they call it crayfish) Keep in touch, Kevin and Gail |

| 1st December 2007 Happy Pat | Thanks, Jenny! - From: Prague - Day 2 I am so glad that the staff at Travel Guild had the opportunity to "travel along" with us! You deserve it, after all the work you've done to make this trip go so smoothly for all of us. I know that "blog withdrawal" will begin soon, ha ha........perhaps people would like to read my daily journal after this!!!! Yuk Yuk. We're in Iceland and about to head out on an amazing day of touring (even though there is only 5 hours of daylight here right now!) See you all soon! |
| 1st December 2007 Yan | Out of this world!!! - From: Dubai, from the sky! Hi Pat, I can't believe what I see from your pictures! Is this place a place on earth? This is amazing, tremendous, fantastic view you got here! Thanks for sharing with all of us!!! HappYanski :-) |
| 1st December 2007 Linda (In London) | Blog Withdrawals... - From: Prague - Day 2 Hey Happy Pat, There are likely to be more than a few of us, who will have "blog withdrawlas." The little Africa hiatus was done to ease us out of checking our emails for new sights and adventures, eh? You, in turn, might need to send some to work out the habit of sending recaps of your days. What a fabulous time you have had - great food, memories, experiences, camaraderie, and pictures to prove it. Well done - BRAVO! Take care, Linda |
| 1st December 2007 Jenny | Oh Happy Pat! - From: Prague - Day 2 Oh Happy Pat...you crack me up! From your caption under one of the photos of the guy on the camel "same guy, same camel as last year!"...LOL then the security guard sleeping on the bus...LOL. I missed your blogging terribly during your hiatus. Worth the wait though to all that was coming next. I looooooved the photos of Dubai. WoW!!! And Egypt...awesome! A Happy Birthday shout out to your mom..."Happy Birthday Happy Pat's Mom." Thanks again for your amazing blog Pat. It's been so exciting getting to follow along. The tour is coming to an end. I hope you all had the trip of a lifetime. Enjoy Iceland and may you all have a safe trip back. - Jenny (Travel Guild Staff) |
| 30th November 2007 Judy T | Beautiful Prague! - From: Happy Pat hits Prague! You and your companions look as peppy as ever despite the great distances travelled, treks on numerous planes and other means of transportation, touring, snacking and dining....big time. Seeing that you are in cooler climates assures me that the Albertans will be more in tune to what awaits them back home. Keep on smiling and make the most of the remaining days of your adventure. Thanks for the visual sharing with those of us left behind and for the commentary every step along the way. |
| 30th November 2007 Jackie Ross | - From: Happy Pat hits Prague! I am so happy that your blog is now back on track. I really missed hearing about your travels in the couple of days you were "off line". Tell Noel that he looks like he's having far too much fun and I am absolutely and totally jealous. Your pictures and, particularly, your descriptions of your travels are great. What a wonderful adventure! |
| 30th November 2007 Deb Birkett | whew...I am exhausted too now - From: Happy Pat hits Prague!

| 29th November 2007 Michael-Ann | The English Patient - From: Lovin' the life in Luxor! Hey, those pictures remind me of that movie, The English Patient. Have they pointed out where they shot it? Egypt looks interesting to me. M-Ann PS: yes, why are the pillows hard? It's got to be healthy? |

| 29th November 2007 Happy Pat | Hi Kalen! - From: And now for the animals....... Hi there, sweetie! Hmmmmm, I didn't know that Curious George lived in Africa.........and don't recall seeing him there. That's probably because the elephants are so big and were all around us! I love you and miss you lots too. I'll talk to you soon and you can tell me all about your birthday party! Love, Granny Pat |
| 29th November 2007 kalen | WOW - From: And now for the animals....... Granny Pat - did you know that Curious George lives in africa? Did you see him? I loved all the animal pictures! I saw a reindeer in the pictures, I guess he must be getting anxious to leave there soon......................i love zebras too! will you take me too africa next time, i love you and miss you! kalen & mommy |
| 28th November 2007 Lynn | "The Blog" - From: Dubai, from the sky! Hi Pat: Back to Prague - good memories there and great food. It's too bad the trip is coming to an end as I have thoroughly enjoyed going along with you all over again. Great pictures of Dubai and Africa. Lynn |
| 28th November 2007 Happy Pat | Lovin' Prague! - From: Dubai, from the sky! Hi Diane, Just got back in from a day in and around Prague. Love it here! We did have a latte and pastry today, in the cafe facing the big clock. Thinking of you! Glad you're enjoying the blog. |
| 28th November 2007 Diane Zeppilli | Love Prague - From: Dubai, from the sky! Hi Pat ; Your blogs are great; and those pictures of Dubai! wow iI can't wait for Prague, because, in my mind, I'm actually THERE. Maybe we will return to that lovely hotel facing 'the clock" and enjoy a delightful pastry with a hot chocolate. Of course, walking off the calories won't be diificult in such an interesting city. Regards to all. Diane and Remo |
| 28th November 2007 marg | real estate comment - From: Dubai, from the sky! watched a program on dubai - the Islands they build in the sea all have water front views - raises the value of them - very inventive - what an amazing creation in the desert - cool |
| 28th November 2007 Diann Vail | Palm Islands - From: Dubai, from the sky! Hi pat - I just watched a documentary on how the Palm Islands were created. IT seems that money can buy almost everything - including land added to your country. Can't imagine feeling secure at all living there - what happens if ocean levels rise? Also - all I could think of is how difficult it would be to escape from there - when all the traffic must pass through a bottleneck. Even those round circles of private homes - they must all pass through the 'stem' of the design to get out. Hmmmm - I've studied far too much about women in these countries. It's all fascinating though - to see how a tiny country creates more space. Japan does the same thing, of course, but not to that extent. Maybe Japan is more vulnerable to tsunami's - and that is why they don't extend their land as much as they have in Dubai. Still enjoying your blogs..... still thinking about how to do this trip myself. Diann |
| 28th November 2007 Yan | Wow again!!! - From: Out of Kenya! Hi Pat, Looks like you still have lots of fun out there! I would have appreciated to see the view while you were landing(view from the cockpit), that should be an amazing experience :-) Keep it going Pat :-) Talk to you soon! HappYanski |
| 27th November 2007 Lynne & Tim | Hi Pat - From: Out of Kenya! What an adventure you had in Africa - I thought going on the vans last year from Nairobi out to the Masi Mara was an adventure. I've been away for a few days, off to Toronto for the birth of our second grandchild - Cassidy Lynne - I'm so proud. She weighed in at 7 lb. 7 oz. on Nov . 22. We're back in Georgia now and will be in Fla. next week, and then back home for Christmas. I hope you have lots more fun. We love keeping up with your blog. Lynne |
| 27th November 2007 Ben Fortin | reminder - From: Out of Kenya! Hi, Aunt Pat. Just a little reminder, I would like my name in Egyptian heirogliphs. And you're in luck, Art taped The Amazing Race. I'm having fun in school; I did my first French test and project. Bye Aunt Pat. |
| 26th November 2007 Gary and Sue Young | Promoted to Captain - From: Out of Kenya! Hey I see you got a new uniform, tour rep one minute and then checking out the captain. Must be a really great life. We are just a bit jealous, but really love the travell blogs. Find it hard to keep up. Take care. All the best. Gary Sue Mat and Nic |
| 26th November 2007 Iris | Thanx for all the nice comments - From: Out of Kenya! Dear Pat Thanx for all the nice comments about us in the crew. You are such a fantastic group of passangers. It has been fun to get to know you all. Looking forward to see you tomorrow morning. Best Iris |
