| 22nd September 2008 mom | Great Pictures - From: Massive Picture Update Love all the pictures, and yes the one you labeled "for the living room" would be great. We have our hands filled with our new adventures at home as well. Maybe not as exciting to you as a RWT, but exciting in it's own way. We and our new little addition, Riley, eagerly await your arrival on Dec. 21.....we all miss you tremendously! Stay Safe, Love mom..XOXO |
| 22nd September 2008 erin | - From: Massive Picture Update justin, your pics are amazing. and yes, i did say awwww at the cub that would maul me to death if i looked at it up close. stay safe!!! |
| 21st September 2008 Nat | Hi Uncle Justin - From: Half Way Through I've been sharing all of your blogs with my coworker. We are all enthralled by them and we eagerly wait for the next blog entry. My friend Morgan, a Swede who also traveled the world in his younger days, says you have a book in there somewhere- hmmm... On a more serious note- the Opeth show was the hottest, sweatiest and most amazing show EVER!!! Dude, I've never seen so much moshing at an Opeth show before! Cierra got to hang out with them after the show. And where was I? At the Wawa with Jared getting a hoagie....... yeah, an opportunity of a lifetime missed. LOL Glad you're well and having a great time. :) |
| 17th September 2008 Laura | Hey Hey - From: Difficult Travel Sorry The Ukraine has been unenjoyable for you. I've heard similar stories from other people. At least you're going back through Romania though. I think I am skipping Greece now so maybe we can meet up in Istanbul again. I mean you do still owe me a "drink of death" haha. Are you going back to the Orient? I'll let you know when I figure out what date I'm getting there. Later home skillet :) |
| 15th September 2008 erin | - From: Difficult Travel doc is going to munich??? awesome |
| 10th September 2008 james | interrogation methods - From: "Polıs! The Gay, Dırty Turk Stole My Bag!" Man I wish I was able to use those interrogation methods. It would make life so much easier haha good stuff dude be safe. |
| 7th September 2008 Katie | - From: Europe... As East And As Corrupt As it Gets Sounds like you are really having an exciting and unforgetable time traveling. I told my mom (Debbie) to give me your blog site so I could see what a young person not traveling the world is missing out on. So far I am definitely jealous...though maybe not about all the border crossing business! |
| 7th September 2008 Owen | - From: Europe... As East And As Corrupt As it Gets I love that you fell asleep as your bus was being raided and woke up nonchalantly to a completely different situation. Roque and I are driving back from Quebec City today. It was nice, kind of like a 400 year old version of New Hope. Montreal is better. We'll be back in NYC tomorrow. Btw, definitely advise you hitting Croatia. My parents stayed in a part of Diocletian's palace in Split and loved it, and also highly recommended Hvar and Dubrovnik. Keep up the pace! -O |
| 6th September 2008 Eric FSU-II | This is good stuff - From: "Polıs! The Gay, Dırty Turk Stole My Bag!" Justin, I just got your blog thread from Pauline. Your adventure thus far has been very exciting to read. I wish I would have talked to you before you left, I could have hooked you up with some relatives of mine in Ethiopia. I think that it's amazing that you have the courage to travel solo for the most part around the world. It seems that most Americans are perfectly content with the safe vacation destination getaways to the usual islands and sunny beach spots. I think that its excellent that you are immersing yourself in the different cultures from an American perspective. You will forever be changed as a result of your journey. Be safe and keep everyone posted. Eric |
| 6th September 2008 Janet | You got me singing the Flintstones theme song - From: "Polıs! The Gay, Dırty Turk Stole My Bag!" Cappadoc1a looks awesome! I would love to stay in a cave...as long as it was furnished. I think I saw a place like that on either the History Channel or Discovery Channel. You know, all your adventures remind me of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. You should videotape your next RTW trip. I can't wait to see all the pics when you get back. |
| 5th September 2008 Aracelis | The Funniest Story I'v e ever Heard - From: "Polıs! The Gay, Dırty Turk Stole My Bag!" Hey Justin: i had to comment on that story...it was hilarious. I could just hear the words in my head...."Polis..." Sounds like your having such an adventure. I got to read a few of your blogs today and it sounds fascinating...I'm waiting for you to come out in "The biggest race" or something! Take Care of yourself Aracelis...from MCBSS |
| 2nd September 2008 LYNS | - From: Next Stop... Romania? Hey hey bro!!..ok so it was so funny cuz that big box you sent home mom actually thought there was something in there 4 her i tried 2 tell her all along..i was a little upset when i didnt see any shot glasses i hope you didnt 4get about me i really want one from africa..and you'll b happy 2 know your hookah is standin tall in the middle on the living room haha..but can you please write me directions on how 2 use it i think i finally put it 2gether right..well i think moms right time 2 get the hell out of the middle east..can't wait 4 your next blog..talk 2 ya soon love ya |
| 2nd September 2008 Liz | Cool to read your story! - From: Kilimanjaro 0, Justin 1 Hi! I'm also going the end of this month! (Charlotte - I might catch you there! ;)). So the same tips you gave Charlotte, you can pass on to me! ;) Congrats on making it to the summit! |
| 1st September 2008 Charlotte | - From: Kilimanjaro 0, Justin 1 I am going in 3 weeks time and I can't wait, I'm also feeling quite nervous as I have never done anything like this befow. Would you be able to give me some tips on how to prepare for it? |
| 27th August 2008 Amy | Hey you!! - From: Last Day in Jordan... Maybe I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that I signed for a package from Cairo today. I'm waiting to see everything still because mom won't let me open it until she gets home. Glad to hear you finally got some chicken. It obviously wasn't buffalo wings but I'm sure it was good enough. I guess all thats left is pizza now. Talk to you soon. I love you!! |
| 27th August 2008 Janet | - From: Last Day in Jordan... Maybe By the time you come home, there will be 2 local Sonics to go to. One in Bensalem opened yesterday. The one around the corner from my house is supposed to be open by the end of the year. |
| 27th August 2008 mom | Time to move on - From: Last Day in Jordan... Maybe Okay, I've had enough of your Middle East adventures; it's time to move on. I'll feel much better when you get to Europe. We're laughing about your feet; it seems like there's always an issue with them on vacation. In particularly we're referring to Punta Cana, remember? Have fun as your adventures continue but please STAY SAFE!!!!!!! Love you and miss you lots!! mom xoxo |
| 27th August 2008 nat | best quotes - From: Last Day in Jordan... Maybe Justin the phrase 'disappointing fish' from an earlier blog still makes me chuckle on a daily basis- but I think my new favorite is .. I't took me about 5 minutes before I decided I had enough of the Dead Sea". I wonder if Death Valley will have the same affect? Only one way to find out... you go there and let me know- lol Keep safe |

| 17th August 2008 Janet | WOW!!! - From: Kilimanjaro 0, Justin 1 All I can say is, WOW! I'm really impressed, but not surprised, that you made it to the top. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you. I don't know many people that would be able to do half the things you're doing, especially alone. I have a lot to talk to you about when we get back about road trips. Be safe! |
| 16th August 2008 mom | Phewww!! - From: Kilimanjaro 0, Justin 1 Phewww!!! It seemed like an eternity from when we spoke (emailed) before you reached Kili to now...the longest wait was from Aug 15th though, when I knew you were flying to Egypt til now seeing this blog. I guess I was expecting a quick "I survived Kili" email. I understand though and I'm trying to remember that it's difficult to find places and the time for blogging. I'm trying real hard to not worry, but that's what moms are for. With all that said, CONGRATS on your climb!!! What a feat!! Hopefully you're finding time to journal your daily adventures capturing your experiences for good reading for the rest of your life. Life is good....for you, and for us. We're settling happily and peacefully in our new home. Can't wait for Dec. 21 for you to join us. I think it will be our happiest Christmas ever. Have Fun...Be Safe...My thoughts and prayers are with you everyday! Love you, Mom XOXOXO |

| 10th August 2008 Owen | Good Luck! - From: From Overlanding to Mountain Climbing Summit that bitch! Keep posting man, really enjoying the view from far away. I'm taking a road trip in a couple of weeks through Canada...not quite a RTW but it should be good times. NYC-->Niagara-->Toronto-->Montreal-->Quebec City-->Maine and back. Thought about going the other direction and hitting Chicago but don't have enough time and that drive was unnecessarily long without a few days in the city. I do have fond memories of that self-proclaimed murderer giving us a guided tour to the train station. What's the name of that hostel we stayed at in Montreal when we went to see the U20 WC? Trying to find it and I haven't been able. Good luck with the mountain. -Owen |
| 4th August 2008 michelle mcmillan | Just to say hi. - From: Diving and Partying in Zanzibar Hi jj i see you r having a nice time, enjoy your self.Everything here is the same,nonething has change.Everyone said hi,and stay safe. Love G-Section |
| 19th July 2008 mom | Missing you... - From: Never Has a Hostel Felt Like a Luxury Hotel It sure has been a long time since your last blog...I won't get mushy, but I sure do miss you. I'm glad you're having a great time though. We think about you everyday, even during our exhausting packing for our move. Great timing on your part; you're missing out on all the fun. Your friends are ditching us and not moving your video machine (or whatever you call it)...I let them know they won't be showing up at the pool without taking care of business first, but quite frankly, I don't think they care....oh well....their loss. Everything is good..the move is on track and scheduled for next Friday, one week from today. Everything and everyone is good....So long for now, continue to have a great adventure, but please be safe!! You are in my thoughts and prayers each and everyday... I love you, mom...XOXOXOXOXO |

We (in G-section) miss you very much and anticipate you coming back to MCBOSS...we hope. Be safe and we will look forward to seeing more pics. By the way, we need your Famis password! Oh, Ken said that your leave is not working out like he planned and if you are going to be swimming in African rivers, you better watch so that no critters bite your balls off. |
| 5th July 2008 Nat | blog entry - From: Never Has a Hostel Felt Like a Luxury Hotel 6:37 am Sat- I'm up briefly to feed the cats- the weather has been moderate to disgusting- today the humidity level is at 99.97%- as I was going to check for mail I found yet another empty beer bottle in the yard left over from the bon voyage party we had for Justin 2 weeks ago..... I'm sure he misses us all.... NOT! |

I am making my husband take the weekend off because I am too scared to go my myself.
