| 14th August 2008 Francine | Vietnam - From: Hey Baby, Got Girl-Fin Viet Nam? Wow! What date do you expect your first book to be published? Keep traveling....keep writing, stay safe! I can't wait to buy your book so please write it very soon! Cheers Francine, your Aussie fan See you "Down Under" one day!!!! |
| 14th August 2008 Francine | Cambodia’s darkest hour - From: Cambodia Thanks for your fantastic but very tragic tale of horror in Cambodia. It reminds and educates one of the tragedies that these poor people have had to suffer over so many years. I do hope they can one day have a better and more peaceful life; I think I will have nightmares after having read your story however I thank you for your amazing “in your face” blog, safe traveling, cheers Francine |
| 24th April 2008 josh | ???? - From: University of Nottingham gordon, love the pictures bro.....but miss your riveting stories! I usually MAKE myself read everything before looking at the photos. Opening up to JUST square grids reminds me of traffic here in ATL.....i need a tour guide, just a gentle handful of words is all i ask. |
| 12th July 2006 Diegowhite | You've done it! - From: A Homecoming Congrats man, Brent puts it so well, you actually did it. I loved reading your journal the whole way through your journey and am very glad to have met you, can only aspire now to what you have done. much respect and mail me some time. Diego (Irl) |
| 11th July 2006 Some kind of Animal | You're a good man - From: A Homecoming Some people talk about. Some people dream about it. Others get up and do it. I'm proud of you homey. See you in a month and a half. I'll take you up on the sewage swimming, roof-riding adventures, incessant honking and outdoor bathrooming activities to be had in the DC area...although in reality this wouldn't be all too far off the Gordon and Brent of the past. Nice to know we can stay true to our maniacal sides all the while moving forward. Give the Hazzards my all. :-) |
| 3rd July 2006 Rich | Re: Blessings - From: Northern India Hey Dude, Been loving the stories, looks like you've been gaining heaps from the trip. Travel makes wise!! |
| 21st June 2006 Charlie Updike | Cool India Shots - From: Northern India Hey Gordon, If you get into Hyderabad...check out the Baptist church there...we have three Indian familes in our congregation from that congregation. The Samual Budala Family is the most active. Keep looking up! |
| 21st June 2006 Mark Liscinsky | See you soon! - From: Northern India Looks like you've just about seen it all. Can't wait to see you. We should go out to see Dan in Vegas when you return. That'd be a great coming home party. See you in a few weeks! |
| 20th June 2006 Dan Merrill | skin and bones - From: Northern India Wow man you really do look quite skinny! I bet you cant wait to eat some home cooking. you have to let me know how scotland is, i really want to visit there sometime. I have a lot of scotish people that come out here in the summer, and they are all real nice. be safe and eat some grub man, adios!!! |
| 20th June 2006 Albert Poawui | You are Amazing - From: Northern India WOW.....You are truly envied my friend. Experience is the greatest teacher. Continue to enjoy life, take care of yourself and live well... Albert |
| 10th June 2006 Pat-cousin-Rockingham | - From: Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan Have really enjoyed your blogs. Great pictures and I'm sure you've seen things that I can't even imagine. I think journalism is one of your gifts. Your writings have been fantastic. I'm sure your family will be glad to see you. |
| 5th June 2006 Mom | Truly far out - From: Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan You seem to have adjusted to India. You sound much more upbeat. The pictures are amazing and I am sure they don't do justice to what you are actually seeing. Just think that your grandmother was there at the ripe old age of 22, probably, as an Army nurse. She had never been anywhere but Rockingham, NC. You are sweeter with each exposure to new culture, a far cry from the demanding teenager. I too am counting the days to July 6th. I am thrilled that Brent is meeting up with you. If you do the motorcycle thing--PLEASE BE CAREFUL--and make sure you get pictures of you two on it. Love you bunches, Mom |
| 4th June 2006 Abs | so SO removed down here! - From: Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan Okay, so I may be more inclined to believe you now! (I was a true doubting Thomas) Wow, I truely had no idea just what India was all about, I think you are right, I am glad that smells don't transmit through cables! See you soon-ish. Abs |
| 23rd May 2006 Alice Kimball | toilet - From: Tibet and Nepal you could have left that picture out. |
| 16th May 2006 Abs | You had me at Yak Butter Tea! - From: Tibet and Nepal I hope that isn't part of the culture that you decide to take home, it sounds disgusting - worse than Kava! Your pictures stimulate my imagination, and words inspire my soul - but Yak butter tea?! Seriously... |
| 11th May 2006 ScottyG | Constantly Amazed - From: Tibet and Nepal Gordo, Thanks again for the beautiful pictures and the eloquent narrative you have sent us with these blogs. I have to agree with Johnny that both You and Brent give us a great "vacation" from the Western Working world when we see a new blog has been posted. Thanks again and I hope you continue to quench your dehydrated thirst for adventure! |
| 11th May 2006 allison | im there - From: Tibet and Nepal i am physically as far away form you as possible, yet after reading your journal, i have a strong taste of what you are experiencing over there. THANK YOU!! glad brent made it, got worried when you said 'illegal hitchhike' in a politically unrest region. Thank you for the pictures and stories! all my love to you both. be safe:) xoxo |
| 11th May 2006 Some kind of Animal | Higher and Higher - From: Tibet and Nepal The insight, the intrigue, the prose...loving it all. Seeing it too with my own "fresh lenses"...you do a damn fine job of capturing this region. Rest your worries and breathe easy, I made it to Lhasa on a wicked hitching trip that was not without its moments of panic and magic all the while. Tell you all about it on the flip. Can't wait to hear your tales. Be safe, carry on brother. :-) |
| 11th May 2006 john-boy | stellar - From: Tibet and Nepal gordon- your pictures never cease to amaze me...i am sitting in my office in germantown, pretty gloomy thursday, & BOOM...i am right there in tibet checking out the scenery...amazing...continue your journey...safely & dudely!... |

| 18th April 2006 Abbs | tunnels snakes shudder and phobias - From: Hey Baby, Got Girl-Fin Viet Nam? hello - I am on my fifth coffee and its not 9.00am yet, therefore your email seemed perfectly aceptable to me with just the right mixture of grit, honesty and fiestiness! Seriously when you were describing the cu chi tunnel I felt my breathe automatically constrict. I have heard of those tunnels before and boy I'm glad I know to tell me about it cause I'm never doing that! Travel safe my friend, (only 92 more working days to go!) |
| 18th April 2006 Lyssa | Hi! - From: Hey Baby, Got Girl-Fin Viet Nam? Cool stuff as always! Glad you got to hang with your mom and kudos to her for making that trip.

| 27th February 2006 Jason | CAVES!!!! - From: Welcome to the Jungle Hey Bro... Glad to see you are getting along ok without me.

| 23rd February 2006 Rich | Re: Boohoo - From: Welcome to the Jungle Hey Dude, Missin' ya. I loved reading about Taman Negara and stuff, I remember it pretty well. Glad you managed to get a hide, it's awesome. One of those things you HAVE to do. Have some friends from home here, they're about to head off here. We had a talk about India and all the places they MUST see. Was thinkin' of you, Buddy! |
| 23rd February 2006 Mom | Culture shock anyone? - From: Welcome to the Jungle This is the most intriguing blog yet. You were after culture shock and this seems to be the best so far. Maybe India will be worse, but do you really want more.....Monkeys seem to have a lot of personality. They probably remind you most of home. Their antics seem awfully familiar to me. Love you bunches, Mom |
| 23rd February 2006 Lyssa | Wow - From: Welcome to the Jungle Amazing pics! What kind of camera do you have? Glad to hear you're doing well. Hope you've seen the last of those leeches! |

| 13th October 2005 Mom | Great pictures - From: Wellington, New Zealand Glad to see you again!!!!!!!!!! Wellington looks very tropical considering how cold you are. Actually your room doesn't look a whole lot different than your room looked like here, just minus the furniture. Hanging out at convenience stores must be genetic--considering your dad and the neighborhood Crown station. Rachel looks so much better without the gothic hair. You look great too. Love you and miss you, Mom |

| 29th August 2005 Mom | Roppongi binge - From: Kyoto and Hiroshima How did you get your nose to scrunch like that? I hope there is no lead in local Japanese "moonshine". Kyoto looks beautiful. While you are imagining being a ninja, I can still see you as a little ninja with your black head band. Love, Mom |
| 13th August 2005 Mom | Great pictures - From: Mt. Fuji Hi Gordie, We just got back from Sunset Beach and first thing--I checked your blog. The pictures are great. I don't know about your constantly "getting engaged". The climb sounds like it pushed you to your limit at the pace you climbed it. But the impact on you was worth it from your desciptions. We missed you at the beach. We had a glorious time--the water was warm, good waves, good food, and good times with extended family. We will call tonight. Love you bunches. |
| 11th August 2005 Albert Poawui | You are the Man. - From: Mt. Fuji It looks like you are having a blast man. Keep it up. Be safe.... |

What an exciting time! Thanks for sharing! I look out my window here in SC, see much green vegetation, experience an occasional thunderstorm, see and hear my dogs playing in the yard while Monte cuts the grass. With what a widely diverse planet God has gifted us! |

| 23rd May 2005 anonymous | Sounds incredible. - From: Fiji I am very jealous, it's amazing what the average person growing up and dying in a western culture never gets to experience. I'm very happy for you. I have had similar experiences I'm glad to see that you are as well. - Albert Poawui |
