| 19th August 2008 Nicole (sister) | Logan - From: Beginnings and Endings Hey toots....Jaclyn and I are going to wait in Medford for you to arrive vs. go to the airport. Believe me, this is killing me. But I think with Jaclyn waking up at 7 or later I would never make it to the Bailey's in time. I hope you are having a great flight. You should be landing in San Fran within the next few hrs. Which means USA USA USA! Phew!!! See you in the morning ~ ahhhh~ Love you!!! |

As people are fortunate enough to travel to different parts of the world and truly see that most people no matter where they are from are alike as you said.So why do we continue to have wars??????

| 19th August 2008 Cousin Maureen | It's just the beginning - From: Beginnings and Endings Kristin, You have brought tears and laughter to our days and nights of reading your truly remarkable adventure. As much as I want you home I don't want you to end this journey. I am amazed at myself for the lump in my throat knowing this will be coming to an end. I feel you have brought all your following closer to you and to each other, never even meeting the others. You have given us all a wonderful 6 weeks of summer. I am grateful for learning so much about a culture I never even thought I would care about. I called you a crazy woman right from the beginning, oh you are crazy, crazy for going after that something that none of us would even dream about. We all have our dreams, and thank you for letting me into yours. I truly enjoyed every minute of it..........love you and stay safe. I want a blog as soon as you get home! |
| 18th August 2008 Mary | that which does not kill us only makes us stronger!" - From: Beginnings and Endings I envy and admire you so much Kristin. Though I haven't been there with you physically I have been fortunate to be there on your journey in spirit. What a wild ride! You truly are one of the best people I know and I am lucky to know you. May your journey home be as safe as your journey there. I can't wait to see you! |
| 18th August 2008 Mary | Back from Maine - From: Sales and Purchase Dept Maybe I should have come with you...sounds like I could have furnished my whole place at the flea market! Miss you lots. Travel home safely! |
| 18th August 2008 Mary | Kristin Howell is my Hero! - From: The Kayak You must do the thing you think you can not do! Way to live up to the quote! I am proud of you. Maine wasn't the same without you. There's always next year. Miss you! |
| 18th August 2008 Lori McGuire | Have a safe trip home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - From: Beginnings and Endings I am so happy for you and your friends. You have done what so many people say they will do, yet never follow through. It is exactly what the graffiti said on the wall in that picture "Live in the moment, or your life will pass you by" or something like that.. but in any case, I can't wait to hear your stories at girls night! Have a safe trip home.. and from reading your blogs, your plane ride may just be the 1st good sleep that you'll have.. rest up and we'll see you soon!!!!! |
| 18th August 2008 Suze and Gia | - From: Beginnings and Endings Once again, commenting although we've never met. Thank you so very much for the special glimpse into this journey - it has been enlightening, touching, thoughtful, as well as quite fun to read! As a bystander, I think it was as interesting to read the comments of your friends and loved ones as it was to read the blog entries themselves. Each of you have so many in your life who love and support you and I can tell that your adventure has made an impact on them in so many ways as well. I am hoping that my own 15 year old daughter has similar journeys in her future....sharing your trip is quite the inspiration for what (hopefully) is to come for her. Thank you again and have a safe and enjoyable trip home! Best, Suzanne (and Gia) (friends of Mike and Eric's) |
| 18th August 2008 Maureen | - From: Beginnings and Endings Hey Kristin! I just caught up on your travels. I can’t even imagine what a life experience this must have been!! Safe journey home! |
| 18th August 2008 dre | hi - From: Beginnings and Endings Have a safe trip home..... cant wait to see you when you get back and settled .... Andrea |
| 18th August 2008 karen | the more we travel the less we really know... - From: Beginnings and Endings You have faced your fears and discovered something beautiful in return. Do you know how lucky you are? Do you realize how many people travel, and how few really "see" the world. You have opened your mind and heart to new experiences and in return you have learned more about yourself than you could have ever imagined. You should feel proud and accomplished. You had tremendous couage on this trip. Not only physical courage, but spiritual as well. It takes courage to expose yourself to others, and you did that in each and every blog. Good for you! I am counting days until you return. I went to school today and started to pack up my classroom. It is much harder than I thought. I need your help! Be safe. I can't wait to see you! |
| 18th August 2008 Lucille | Lessons learned - From: Beginnings and Endings Kristin, this entry just says it all and is very well said. Great lesson(s) to share with all of us and and teach to many others in the years to come. I know this is only the real beginning for you. Safe travels home and thanks for allowing me to following along with you and everyone else on this journey. See youreal soon, Love Lucille |
| 18th August 2008 Nicole | Welcome Back - From: Beginnings and Endings Welcome back! Right now you are probably on your long flight home! I hope your flight is great. Miss you lots, I am off Thursday and Friday! Hope to talk to you soon! |
| 18th August 2008 Nicole (sister) | Congratulations! - From: Beginnings and Endings Seems as though you have learned so much in just six weeks. You are wiser then you realize. That's for sure. You make me proud to hold the title "Kristin Howell's sister!" Enjoy the rest of your time there and your journey home. You will be here before you know it. I can't waaaaaaaaaait, this last week has been the toughest for me. Knowing you are so much closer to coming home and all. Be safe and God Bless. Love and miss you so much! P.S. Anne is dropping your dress off to me today, it's black and halter. Not even the dress Momma and I had thought she got, the one we suggested had a whole in it or something!?!? But it's also a way bigger size then we suggested so I'm sure you'll need to take it in. I'll fill you in on the rest when you get home. Poor Anne, not what you want to be doing the week of your wedding, reordering every dress and your own gown! YIKES! |
| 18th August 2008 Dale | Many Thanks - From: Beginnings and Endings I commend the four of you for your goals and many accomplishmnets. It has been our pleasure , thank you for allowing us a window into your adventure, and into your hearts. I am so proud of you! Be safe! |
| 18th August 2008 MOM | - From: Sales and Purchase Dept By the way....You look like you may have lost a few pounds..You didn't need to but I understand...The jackets are lovely...You will wear them I am sure...By the way we got you strapless on the gown...I had said strapless rather then halter and your sister confirmed. Kiss Kiss |
| 18th August 2008 MOM | - From: Sales and Purchase Dept I know you dislike pink but you and your sister always looked so cute in it...Like it or not..Be safe coming home..and your new clothes look great...Are you packing them in your back-pack?? Just curious. Love Mom |

| 18th August 2008 Janis | Be safe - From: Beginnings and Endings I think you missed your calling Kristen. You're blogs put together would make quite the short story and I bet there's a novel in there if you include all the details I'm sure were left out. I'm glad you found what you were looking for and have a safe trip home!! |
| 18th August 2008 Susan Niles (Macaela's aunt) | Thank you! - From: Beginnings and Endings thank you for sharing your trip with everyone who has logged onto your blog and couldn't wait for the next episode! I am so happy for all of you that took part in this wonderful journey and I hope you'll continue with your writing - I know I'm not the only one who has gotten a a very small but enlightening glimpse into a world where we've never been. thank you so very much - safe journey home. |
| 18th August 2008 Eric B | Come on home! - From: Beginnings and Endings After all the stories are told, you will have so many memories of all the great times exploring the world. I am envious of your travels and stories, but I am happy that I know someone like you that dares to test her own fears. Safe Flight. And thanks for letting me travel with you. |
| 18th August 2008 carol | - From: Beginnings and Endings Kristin, You really should consider writing a book. You are an excellent writer. I will be so happy, along with everyone else, when I hear you are safe and at home. Be careful and have a safe flight. God bless. Love, Carol |

Be safe, and have a nice (long) flight home. Thanks again for doing these blogs...they have been a joy to read each time! |
| 18th August 2008 Howell | Patty - From: Sales and Purchase Dept It's just that the color pink turns my stomach and I know it's selfish of me to request the bride to not consider a color, but pink. Sounds like Anne is a champ though and put me in grey. Can't wait to see the mystery dress. My fingers are crossed. |
| 18th August 2008 Howell | Debbie L - From: Sales and Purchase Dept You'll see me every morning for breakfast. I'm a 4th floor girl at heart. Although I'll be completely loyal to my new floor I'll secretly be wishing to once again be part of the penthouse. See you VERY soon. |
| 18th August 2008 Shayna (Courtney\ | hey - From: Sales and Purchase Dept Court, I love the suit!!!! You should buy a puppy for dad :-) I finished all 60 miles!!! Can't wait to see you on Wed!!! :-) |
| 18th August 2008 MOM | - From: Sales and Purchase Dept Hi...Before you know it you will be home...I hope you are looking forward to it as much as everyone is having you back. Don't worry Kris no pink for you...You really are a great writer and many people have followed along with you and sometimes been with you...Amazing..I hope the next trip is a bit shorter..I have tears in my eyes on how much (more or less) I have enjoyed following along with all the others...See you soon...Love Mom |
| 18th August 2008 Debbie | I'll miss the Blogs and you on my floor!!! - From: Sales and Purchase Dept I'll miss reading your plays, and stories.....but most of all I'll miss seeing you and speaking to you each morning. I wish you could stay up on our floor!!!!! Come say hi each day!!!!! |

| 18th August 2008 Howell | Kim L - From: Sales and Purchase Dept Oh, I really hope you are right about sleeping for 20 hours. Maybe the pit in my stomach would go away if I knew that were true. Ready to be the mom of TWO middle schoolers?! |
| 18th August 2008 Howell | Jude - From: Sales and Purchase Dept Macaela just peered over my should and said "Of course she commented on your jacket. That's my mom." Can't wait to meet you! |
| 18th August 2008 Howell | Debbie T - From: Sales and Purchase Dept Hey Debbie! I'll see you on the 30th, right? At Cop's wedding? |
| 18th August 2008 Howell | Nicole - From: Sales and Purchase Dept SO, you and Ma chose my dress for Anne's wedding? PLEASE tell me she didn't put me in baby girl pink. If she did, I swear I am NOT leaving Thailand. Should I be scared? Glad you got the larger size.... who knows what it will be like to be in real clothes again. |

| 18th August 2008 ontheroadEandS | Ugh what a trip - From: Sales and Purchase Dept I have to say that I wasn't all too thrilled to leave Thailand. Bangkok maybe, Thailand not so much. I got completely screwed by my taxi driver. After driving for 30 minutes I realized we were nowhere near the airport and had only been driving in circles. First the bed on the floor, now this...what next? Enjoy your last 24! |

Your blogging has been an added bonus to my days at home with the kids... bored with NOTHING to do. I wore my comfy white skirt at Columbia!! The best outfit of the week by far! L, Camille |
