| 6th December 2007 Al | whew... - From: A Big Apple Vacation in the City That Never Sleeps. Damn Nate! You squeezed in A LOT! That's dope. I've always wanted to go back there, T and are were only there for a day and it was so cold, we ended up seeing the "sights" while driving! I've always felt I was a pretty good driver, but now that I've actually driven around NY especially in Tines Square I can probably be a cab driver if I ever moved there! Nice blog - great flicks. |
| 6th December 2007 Allison | Mmm....Rutherfords - From: Wine, Vino, and some Alcoholic Grape Juice Now my taste buds are getting ancy for Rutherfords! I watched the clip of the yodeling wine guy...he sounds fun! |
| 1st December 2007 neomi | the big city loves you! - From: A Big Apple Vacation in the City That Never Sleeps. hey nate...i finally got some time to look and read your blog...you really did a lot while you were here...you are much better at time management than us new yorkers...i love the photos...you got some really awesome ones...it makes me realize all the beautiful things that we have that we overlook because of being in a rush...or just take for granted...thanks for putting it in perspective...neomi |
| 27th November 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Capturing the spirit of a city - From: A Big Apple Vacation in the City That Never Sleeps. Nathan, your travel articles and pictures keeps getting better and better. From your opening paragraph on, you allow the reader to visit the city by your side, experiencing life in the crowded streets, peaceful park and numerous museums or attractions. It's an excellent guided tour and the pictures are wonderful. I especially like the night photos and detail shots throughout the city. Marvelous. Thanks for sharing! |
| 9th November 2007 Allison | Great pics - From: Windsurfing on the Outer Banks Okay, so now this is another destination spot I absolutely need to visit before I die. I love the sunset view from the balcony. You should sell these pics to the resort you stayed at! :D |
| 10th October 2007 inorbit | Agreed - From: Answering the question, Sydney Vs. Melbourne I have been living in Sydney for five years now and man do I miss Melbourne. Oh and thats St Kilda not St Kilroy but nice blog... |
| 5th September 2007 Kathy Cain | Next time - From: Visiting Friends and Family Next time you are as close as Tulsa let me know if you have the time for me to run up and see you. All is fine in the King-Cain family and the same (that's Bartlesville for you.) I will follow your travels and see some of the world through your eyes. Take care of yourself. With love. |
| 31st July 2007 Darcy | You tourist - From: Surprise Trip to Seattle Looks remarkably similar to the few days I spent Seattle last month. Your pictures are much better than mine tho...hmmm, i may steal them and pass them off as my own. Later cuz |
| 27th July 2007 Mike (Crusher) | The Ice Man Cometh - From: South Island: I think I need another month. Dude. C'mon. An adventure that might actually top your other adventures? Sheesh! Hiking on/through a glacier? That is just freakin' awesome. The crevasses would be enough to send me back the other way and I don't know what possessed you to "jump" over them (with the possible exception that not jumping would mean you'd fall.) Amazing pictures. Just spectacular. Love the Ace of Bone necklace! It suits you well. |
| 26th July 2007 Mike (Crusher) | WEeeeeeEEW - From: What's that Smell? I swear, it wasn't me. Another great adventure! Loved the Zorb balls and that sure sounds like fun. It is impressive the amount of hiking you do and the trip up Mt. Doom must have been fun for you. Great scenery, gorgeous emerald lakes, watefalls....damn. As always- love your stories and pics! |
| 19th July 2007 the ningster | The ferry - From: South Island: I think I need another month. is where I saw Starsky and Hutch. And yes, I agree, you were over-excited. Great glacier shots! |
| 9th July 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Adventure in Glowworms - From: The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round Nathan, your adventures keep getting better and better. Just how much fun did you have in New Zealand anyway? Crawling around in caves, hiking, taking great pictures and shearing the bunnies....I mean, c'mon! Way too much fun. Great pictures. Loved the Hahei Beach shot! |
| 12th June 2007 Claire | - From: 21 Days in New Zealand on a Big Orange Bus Hi Nathan, Great to read about your adventures from before we mwt on Stray. Looking forward to the next instalment! |
| 6th June 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Magic Bus - From: 21 Days in New Zealand on a Big Orange Bus Nathan, your writing skills are clearly evident in this blog. Wonderful descriptions and, again, it's just like being there. I mean, c'mon, am I the only person who thinks this? Are there any other readers out there that feel the same? Your blogs are always a terrific read, accompanied by excellent photographs. Seriously, I would imagine any travel magazine snapping up your blogs to benefit their readers. Looking forward to the next installment! |
| 29th May 2007 Ellen Around the World | - From: Answering the question, Sydney Vs. Melbourne A great write up on my fair city Melbourne! Good to hear it beat Melbourne in your comparison!! Happy travels, E |
| 18th May 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Aquarium Thunder Dome - From: Answering the question, Sydney Vs. Melbourne It's good to see you've made it to Melbourne. Hey, thanks for the tip on the pronounciation. Never knew that before. Kinda like how they pronounce Edinburgh, Scotland (Edinborough.) Sounds like you were right at home staying with Darcy. Full house, lots of activities, good times and people. Sweet! I'm sure you had a blast and the sights you saw were nice. Excellent story and it was another fun adventure tagging along with you, even if only vicariously. Glad you finally settled the age-old-question: Sydney vs. Melbourne. Now we know. Have a great time in NZ. |
| 16th May 2007 Cara | Domaine Chandon - From: Answering the question, Sydney Vs. Melbourne I love Domaine Chandon Chardonnay! I can't believe you got to go to the winery! I hope you at least picked me up a couple of bottles! |
| 7th May 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Dingo was his Name-o - From: Dingo ate who's baby? Okay, how many slices of paradise are you visting? It seems each destination overshadows the other. You're right, the beaches and waters are stunning. I think it would be hard to leave such a pristine place but it's cool you got to visit. I bet the spiders made you relive childhood, eh? Ick. Cool to see a true Dingo and I'm glad you didn't get carried off like some chunk of meat. Whew. Thanks for sharing the great stories and pictures! Keep 'em coming! |
| 4th May 2007 Phil | >>> - From: 5 Days in Adelaide, but at least there's wine! I feel like im being advertised on the other side of the world!! Oh yer, and kevin scared the shit outa me, i realised on my last day at the hostel that he was trying to...(to put it softly) shag me. I't wasnt a coincidence that i left that day. Free apple pie at cannon street for life!! |
| 17th April 2007 NNowack | Actually - From: Finding Nemo in Cairns, and yes, the "r" is silent. Actually, went to the Doctor twice, and he said they weren't. It was some allergic reaction, cause it lasted for 2 weeks, but finally going away now. Thanks though, I thought of that as well. |
| 16th April 2007 Yvonne | Bed bugs! - From: Finding Nemo in Cairns, and yes, the "r" is silent. Nathan, the chickenpox-like rashes are from bed bugs!! They're back now. Haven't you heard? |
| 16th April 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Scuba Duby Doo - From: Finding Nemo in Cairns, and yes, the "r" is silent. CONGRATULATIONS!!! We all knew you were certifiable but congratulations is still in order. :) Yet another amazing adventure in your long line of adventures. I'm sure you'll never forget this one and it's probably a far cry from any zoooos dvds you were doing last year. Love the photos and videos and I give you credit for diving in the world famous Great Barrier Reef. I'm so glad you didn't see any great white sharks and you managed to stay a safe distance from the stingray. Whew. And night diving? Oh mercy. You're a brave soul. I like your new interest in underwater photography. I'm gonna look up a photographer you'd be interested in seeing. Keep having fun, be safe and keep up the great blog! |
| 16th April 2007 JohnZane | Should've Checked out Nacho Daddy's - From: Punta Leona & Jacó (Day 5-10) First off-great journal, I got back from CR at the end of February, and your descriptions took me back again. If you ever go back to Jaco, venture farther down the "Strip" (how the hell do they expect us to find places if there are no street signs?), past the Monkey (train-wrecking DJ'z play old school hip-hop) and Beatle (Ugly American) bars, and check out Nacho Daddy's. It's at the rear end of that new shopping mall marked by a fountain and Tsunami Sushi on the second floor. House music (not bad), some dancehall/reggae, and mostly hipsters from Europe and USA, as well as locals who drop in after work. The first time I was there it was packed with cool people ready to chat and party all night, the second time was less so, but I chalked it up to new promoters with an unproven DJ lineup. My buddy and I hooked up with everything we needed for the night, and met some fun local people too. If you venture down to Quepos and Manuel Antonio, check out Arches Iris, big warehouse party club, some house music, lots of happy folks. |
| 14th April 2007 Bonnie | Totally worth being homeless - From: The Tenacious Australian Fly, an Underground Town, and a Big Red Rock! I am so jealous of you! This looks like such an amazing time... and here I am the lame one, living it through your pictures... someday I will do something crazy like you and then probably end up homeless! But seeing the pictures, totally worth it! So I have company in June, and possibly in August, but July looks good or sometime in August. Fishing is better in July though. Bring a friend... I'd love to do some sea kayaking or a backpacking trip. Glad I bought some bear spray this year! Your blog is wonderful and even though I feel like i am there (and learning!) I still want to go :) Are you going to end up with a g.f. out of this? Bonnie |
| 13th April 2007 Mike (Crusher) | The Grand Adventure - From: The Tenacious Australian Fly, an Underground Town, and a Big Red Rock! As always, your latest blog entry is fantastic. What an amazing adventure you are experiencing. The tour sounds perfect. Great sites, good friends and terrific memories. Your great pictures compliment a wonderful story and one certainly feels like they had a chance to experience the sunsets, sunrises, mountains and, ick, even the flies. I wish I could find the videos for this trip as I'm sure they are hilarious. Your stories are better than most travel books, as you provide great details, humor and nuances only related through experience. You should gather these up, package them and make a living at it. You've got talent. Keep having fun. Mike |
| 8th April 2007 theningster | - From: 5 Days in Adelaide, but at least there's wine! Dude, you're taking me back. I stayed at Canon St. It's like a huge warehouse. Do they still do free pie in the evenings? Is that the attached pub in the background of some of your shots? Glenelg beach is cool. That bottle wine that we had at Jon and Janis's was from the Barossa Valley. Damnit, I want to be there. |
| 6th April 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Dutch Treat - From: 5 Days in Adelaide, but at least there's wine! Your blogs are simply great. Wonderful information, filled with humor and pictures, allowing us to tag alongside your adventures. It seems this episode revolves around Wine, Women and Touring. I know you are a huge wine coniseour so your wine tasting trip must have been spectacular. I can easily see you running a vineyard and your cellar door would be elegant, yet fun. Sorry to hear you didn't catch a wife....not for the lack of trying, apparently. lol Anke sounds like a fun person and it's really cool you are finding so many people to hang with while traveling. I'm surprised you didn't pop into the casino and awe Anke with your roulette skills. Keep having fun. Take more pictures and good luck with finding a wife with either an Australian or English accent. :) -Mike |
| 29th March 2007 Nick Sanders | So educational - From: WA should never be forgotten I'm going to know so much about Australia from your pix and stories. 104 degrees!! Ouch! I'd be heading for the cave too. - Nick |
| 21st March 2007 Cassie | Love the Pictures :) - From: WA should never be forgotten Hi Nate! Love the pictures of the birds and kolas! I am so envious!!!!! More bird pictures please :) Cassie |
| 20th March 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Living it up on the wrong side of the road - From: WA should never be forgotten Hellloooooo Nathan, It is great reading about your travel experiences. You have a wonderful way of describing the details and nuances in such a way that one surely feels like they are traveling right along with you. City Beach looks like it would be fun, especially with the tranquil waters. And how perfect you are sharing it with relatives. Great memories for you all. I know all too well how tricky it is driving on the opposite side of the road. Try doing that in London sometime. As you know, you learn real fast. But the challenge is fun and quite rewarding, especially for you with stops at the Pinnacles, Koala habitat and Crystal Caves. Nice! As always, your pictures enhance your terrific stories. I don't know how you took a picture of the Southern Cross Constellation but that was cool. Great beach shots, Pinnacles at sunset, Koalas and Kangaroos posing. Keep having fun! - Mike |
| 15th March 2007 ningster | Damn, you're taking me back... - From: Sydney and Wollongong You're bringing it all back to me, dude, especially with the coffee ordering. One time I just broke down and asked if I could just get a plain cup o joe and they said they couldn't do that unless I wanted the instant crap!!!!!! WTF!!!!!! Anyway, I settled on the flat white as my preferred coffee beverage as it was the closest thing to a latte. Good on ya, mate! Eric |
| 14th March 2007 Cassie | Glad you made it! - From: Finally in the land of Oz Hey Nate! Glad you made it to your dream destination, since it is one of mine too, I will have to be content with your blog for now! Looks like you are having a great time already, and go hiking and snorkeling for me! |
| 13th March 2007 Cara | Wow! - From: Sydney and Wollongong Awesome pics!! Can't wait to see more! |
| 13th March 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Living it up in the land down under - From: Sydney and Wollongong Helloooooo Nathan! Good to see you and your Dad having a good time in Oz. I'm glad you didn't get bit by the bats, got to see the Opera House and even managed to pop into a casino! What? No poker? Nice to know you still have the roulette magic though. Great pictures...as always and I like the Kodak moment picture with your Dad. Great view from there, huh? Dude, your stories rock and, accompanied with your stellar pictures, you have a great carreer ahead of you as a travel writer. Keep up the good work & have fun! |
| 13th March 2007 Mike | You're not in Kansas, anymore. - From: Finally in the land of Oz Hello Nathan! Congrats on living out your dream and going to Oz. It sounds like you and your Dad are going to have a great time. Excellent story, Nathan. Your travel writing makes me feel like I'm there with y'all and easily surpasses most other travel writing. Fun, entertaining and informative. And, as usual, your pictures are terrific! Have a great time, keep writing and snapping those pics. |
| 12th March 2007 Nick Sanders | Nice Job - From: Punta Leona & Jacó (Day 5-10) Oh yeah, Pura Vida! I've finally got to finish the last part of your blog on our trip. Very cool. I hope to be sitting on another foreign beach next year. |
| 1st March 2007 Carey | Jealousy - From: Punta Leona & Jacó (Day 5-10) I will be outside of Puerto Jiminez on April 13, and looking at your photos is making me wish I was there now. I am glad you have enjoyed your time down there. Maybe will will have to plan a big trip with the whole "group". |
| 1st March 2007 Mike (Crusher) | Amazing - From: Punta Leona & Jacó (Day 5-10) Nathan, your trip sounds amazing. Your stories were great and painted a wonderful picture of Costa Rica. I would imagine anyone reading your blog is completely jealous now and can only yearn to zip through the trees and across the rivers. I seriously hope there weren't any crocs waiting below. The pictures of the crocs were amazing and enough to scare me away from any body of water in Costa Rica. Loved the picture of you, Nick and Eric dressed as a stoplight. hahahaha. too funny. Great pictures and a terrific story! Thanks for sharing. Mike |
| 23rd February 2007 AlinatheGypsy | wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - From: Aguila de Osa Inn - Drake Bay near the Osa Peninsula Nate Amazing shots!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn! That hotel room looked like something from "The Beach" .Insane beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job on the pics! |
| 23rd February 2007 Darcy | Jealous - From: Aguila de Osa Inn - Drake Bay near the Osa Peninsula Looks like a great trip cuz! I can see that you're enjoying the good life, free from the stresses of work and LA. Looking forward to swapping travel stories when u get to Australia |
| 22nd February 2007 venuoms3 | costa rica travel - From: PURA VIDA in Costa Rica!!! This site is very useful to the people who are interested in traveling. This site will give a great information about Costa Rica travel. |
| 13th February 2007 Mike | Aweseome - From: Aspen/Snowmass Ski Trip Hello Nathan, As always, your travel blog continues to impress and paint a wonderful picture of life on the road. Nice pictures and excellent story. I would write more but I am still in shock over the restaurant tab. -Mike |
| 7th February 2007 Mike | Tulsa Time - From: Visiting Friends and Family Nathan, I think I am going to thoroughly enjoy your travel blog. It's a great idea and a nice way to share your travels. It was great seeing you again and ultra fun playing poker with you once more. I completely expected you to walk away with the big prize at the poker tourney but I think it's cool you could cheer me on at the final table. Have fun in Australia! |
| 28th January 2007 Michael Greenwood | Snow, Tubbing and JABOOZIE? - From: Mammoth Ski Trip I love the travel blog idea and your pictures and videos are terrific. They certainly make me wish I was up there enjoying the festivities, even if I haven't the foggiest idea what a Jaboozie is. :) Nathan, I can't wait to see more pictures of your travels. It was great seeing you in Tulsa and please continue to follow your dreams. You've got talent kid and we know you will do well! -Mike |
| 26th January 2007 Tracy | Good Times! - From: Mammoth Ski Trip Thanks for helping to make the trip great! Kasey and I had a blast! Enjoy your travels! |
