| 1st September 2006 anonymous | - From: Heaps of CZ, a Pinch of Deutschland, and a Smidgen of Austria I enjoyed the pictures. Did you spend any time in the spas, soaking in the hot springs or getting a massage? Are the Stones concerts different each time or do you know the program by heart? Hope it warms up for you soon. Looking forward to your next phone call. Love, Nancy |

| 3rd August 2006 Sharon | Excellent - From: Sunny Santorini I tried writing earlier but while trying to spell check a word I think I lost my comment so please excuse any and all grammar/spelling errors. I just wanted to thank you for the excellent writing and visual diary you are sharing with us. As for me, I know it is vital that I have the opportunity to vicariously enjoy your travels especially since reality doesn't allow me the pleasure. Your photos and commentaries are excellent. Keep them coming! Sharon |

| 24th July 2006 Little Brother | Howdy - From: Aegina and then Mykonos Hey Big Sis and Bro-in-Law, Glad you guys made it out of Cypress before the rush. We are operating several flights from Larnaca to Baltimore and Toronto with fleeing Americans and Canadians. Mykonos is beautiful as always. Too bad about the increase in traffic though. The world is becoming too busy. Yasou, Jim and Jan |

Sooo fun rented ATV's and went all over Mykonos. From Lil Venice (Katerina's) sunset and pics of windmills. Santorini was so special too (the next stop for us). Spent lots of time in Oia. I know you'll make that Island as I think Lynne told me it was one of your favorites. Have a blast, be safe and keep the pics coming!!! |

| 19th March 2006 Jody | mandelas prison - From: Cape Town - A City of Contrasts Ron, just read your account of the visit and it was really powerful., thank you! I have admired him for a long time, I admire him even more now. It makes the little bumps in my road seem very insignificant! Hugs Jody |

| 12th March 2006 Jonn | Rainbow Lorikeets - From: No Dramas - Just Hot, Humid, and Wet Hi. Loved your photos and descriptions of the Lorikeets. Lulu (ball & chain) & myself, are located in the areas of Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban, South Africa, depending on business, the weather and broadband availability. One of our children goes by the technical description of a Chatering Lory but he is really just a little person with red and green feathers. Highly intelligent, has a vocab of about 150 words and phrases, at 11 months, and is now starting to put together his own sentences from the phrases which he overheard. Incredible memory, better than any human, and there are none of us that can copy his range of sounds. He has great fun, starting with simple sounds which we have to imitate and going progressively more difficult untill he loses us and we cannot compete any more. He also poops, a lot. We had great fun with your comments on the rainbow lorikeets and, allthough we have not had any contact with them, would expect them to be very bright also. It might be interesting to let them have their way, get a bit closer to them as individuals, and control the poop area. Thanks for your interesting articles, keep up the good work and, when you are in South Africa, if ever, let us know and we'll introduce you to some SA hospitality. Regards. Jonn & Lulu. |
| 11th March 2006 Jim Duerst | Hello - From: Cape Town - A City of Contrasts Ron & Pam, I enjoyed the story and pictures of the Cape area. Beautiful scenery. I love the terrain. Very appealing. Watching Indiana play Ohio State. Florida is also playing. Take care of yourselves. Steven audtioned and got the Bass Guitar gig with the Landers sisters. If you remember the twins were on several Tv shows, etc. One was on Dallas for eight year. The dad is Dave Neidenfur, a former pitcher with the Dodgers. Looks like they will be going to Germany this summer for a week to play several shows, and then they will fly to L.A. and play the Roxy! Steven is definetely moving on with his music. Jenna's team beat the 12-under boys Thursday 4-3. Jenna had 3 goals. Jim |
| 11th March 2006 Dorothy | fabulous - From: Cape Town - A City of Contrasts What a magnificant account of the Cape. I really want to go there. Thank you for the time you give to these wonderful accounts. It is almost like being there. Ron's words touched me to tears. Love, D |
| 11th March 2006 Abby | your trip to the prison - From: Cape Town - A City of Contrasts What an extraordinary story and facts about Mandella, I can see why anyone would be so touched by visiting it. I don't think I would even want to step into the cell because it would give me an eerie feeling of claustrophobia! I admire your photrography of your travels, I don't know that I could travel that much due to my travel sickness. We love the hats and Carlea loves all her Australian buddies! she slept with all them the night we received them ( March 9th). I gave Carlea a lecture on interrupting me on the phone after Ron had called last, Sorry Ron. Travel On! Abby |
| 10th March 2006 Jim Duerst | Hello - From: Mark and Richard's Wild Ride Ron & Pam, Great pictures, great story. What an interesting couple of weeks. Everything is fine here. Jenna's team beat the 12 under boys tonight 4-3 and Jenna had 3 goals. I told Ron a few times I am not an envious or jealous person, but I have to admit that you two can take me close to those emotions. I am very happy for you that you are enjoying this wonderful experience. Retirement must be Grand! Take Care. Jim |
| 9th March 2006 Mb | - From: Mark and Richard's Wild Ride Thanks for sharing. Alex Robbie of course likes the gorry pictures of the Impala remains..... uggh I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself.

Pam, I love your pics and colorful commentary, as always...Freemantle looks very interesting..and as for the folks in the opal mining town..I think they have been too long in the hot sun! LOL No, really, the pics of the hotel and the house in the "mines" were really cool, although my claustrophobia would defintely be on high alert! How do you like the new camera? I just bought a new one too..only 4x zoom, but then I dont have the exotic pics to take like you! grin Love to both |
