| 9th June 2009 anonymous | - From: Timeline continued - July 2007 - Our Wedding I just discovered the new(er) blogs. I'm sorry to hear about Fiona, but happy that she's doing good now. Couldn't see any of the pictures you posted...they all came up with little red 'x's' in the top left corners. Maybe I'll have more luck another day. Three and a half yrs since you got back from your travels...where does the time go? I really enjoyed your blogs. All the best to both of you and I hope to read more. Take care. Kath |

| 21st January 2008 Shaggy | Canadian Mudie.... - From: Back to Real Life Would be good to check it out Kathleen, if you can send me any of details I look in to it. I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since I was last checking this site, I have so many good intentions of getting it back up and running but never seem to find the time. Cheers, Andrew |
| 5th December 2007 Kathleen | - From: Back to Real Life This fellow, is around 90 yrs old, I think and he served in WW2. Like I mentioned before, his picture was in the newspaper honouring old Vets. I just looked in the phone book and he is listed. I'm not sure if I should put anything more on here though. I can give you his address and phone number if you like and you can check if it's any relation. Oh, before I forget...Congratulations and very best wishes to both of you. I loved reading your blogs. I guess I could have sent this as a private message! If you want the address, then that's how I'll send it. |

| 14th November 2007 Kathleen | - From: Back to Real Life Hello! It's been a very long time since your last post! Like anonymous asked.....was there a wedding last July? Also, do you my chance have a relative in B.C. Canada by the name of Gordon (Mickie) Mudie? Saw his picture in the paper honouring old Vets for Remembrance Day. Recognized the last name right away, as I had been following your globe trotting! |

| 19th August 2006 Stephen Paul | Unfortunately Everything is Skewed - From: In one moment, Hiroshima was dust While unfortunately Joe is right, a more accurate statement about this whole situation is "History is written according to the who writes it." I find it odd you failed to mention the fire bombing raids on Tokyo that the Americans carried out, which killed just as many Japanese and destroyed just s much Japanese property as the Nuclear Weapons. Its interesting to see your comments because they obviously come fresh after reading the Japanese view of the war- Im not saying they are right or wrong. The American view of the way is vastly different. Most notably I saw 2 things from your post- #1- A downplaying of the Japanese War Machine, and #2- An idea that the Americans were foaming at the mouth to use this weapon on anyone so as not to waste money. #1- The Japanese military during the 20th century was the most ruthless and animalistic country to ever fight in a war. Read about what they did in the Phillipines, the 200,000 sex slaves (comfort women), Allied soldiers they captured and most importantly The Rape of Nanjing-killing 300,000 chinese civilians and POWs and raping at least 20,000 chinese women. The Japanese Government TO THIS DAY still denies and downplays this ever occoured! In fact I remember a recent Chinese boycott of Japanese products because the Japanese didn't even include the destruction of Nanjing in their school textbooks. They murdered millions of Chinese during the war in an attempt to take over Asia much in the same way Nazi Germany was attempting to take over Europe. To think the Japanese Army was afraid of anyone is naive. The Japanese didn't know the meaning of surrender and openly stated during the war they would fight until every last Japanese was dead, if thats what it took. Imagine that- an enemy who is killing millions of people, aspiring to take over every nation in asia and openly refusing to surrender until they are killed. After the Nuclear Bombs were dropped, Emperor Hirohito even OVERRULED his militarist advisors... the last thing the advisors wanted to do was surrender. They never would have surrendered to any country including Russia. Ultimately the US would have had to invade Japan which was to be defended from occupation by 2.3 million troops, another four million Army and Navy employees and a newly created armed militia numbering 25 million- all sworn to fight to the death and never to surrender. The bombs saved untold hundreds of thousands more Japanese and Americans-perhaps millions-from becoming casualties of pre-invasion bombing and shelling, followed by two invasions and forcible occupation. All of this being said- Revisionist History exists in both the USA and Japan. But to portray the Japanese as excused because they were deluded under their godly emperor and the USA as foaming at the mouth dogs looking to cash in on their Nuclear Investments is ridiculous. |

| 23rd March 2006 anonymous | Lucky Dog - From: Kaikoura - Dolphin Spotting You have no idea how lucky you are. We tried to go whale and dolphin watching twice in Kaikoura- once completely shut out due to weather and once teased with a boat ride out only to be turned back to land due to, you guessed it, weather. Oh yeah, and there was a boat full of sea sick passengers to boot. So, needless to say- we are very jealous and will be living vicariously through your pics:) |

| 19th January 2006 Lucas | - From: In one moment, Hiroshima was dust Come off it Joe! Surely you can't really believe that. Typical one-eyed American view. Stop wasting our time. I have not been to Hiroshima, but have been told that the monuments to this are amazing. Thanks for your photos and story. |
| 19th January 2006 an avid reader of yours | - From: A little bit of quality time.... So glad that you two are safe and sound. Was worried after not hearing anything for so long. Isn't that crazy! I'm happy to hear that you had such a good year. Thanks for sharing. We'll sure miss your blogs, as you had a wonderful way of describing things.[as a "commenter" said] Good luck and all the very best in the future. Thanks again. |

| 31st December 2005 Joe | Operation Downfall - From: In one moment, Hiroshima was dust had the above operation been implemented, instead of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 2 million Japanese and 1 million Americans would have died. As illogical as it sounds, the bombing of these two cities saved lives. And perhaps we could take your swipes at America more seriously if you didn't hail from a land that has illegally invaded and partitioned more countries, whilst committing numerous acts of genocide on four continents, than any other nation in history. |
| 21st December 2005 anonymous | "Tis the season to be merry" - From: Nha-Trang - Mui Ne - Saigon I hope you both have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. |
| 16th December 2005 bill | Halong Bay Trip Arrangement - From: Hanoi - Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba Island I have never been to Hanoi. thinking of going there soon with my family.

I split a gut laughing at the way you described the little episode on the balcony and your Mum's window washing! Funny as heck. We are all going to miss your blogs when you finally get home. I've read every one of them after a few different friends put me onto them. You have a way of writing that is interesting and COMICAL. No---noone is getting tired of these blogs! Actually, we miss them when there is a big gap. Keep on having those hard days at the beach!! Have fun and take care. |
| 25th October 2005 Jackie | Pandas Yesssss - From: Giant Panda's, Giant Buddha's and Sichuan food Thank you sooooo much for sharing the panda pictures.

| 12th September 2005 Carol | Vancouver,B.C. Can. - From: Floating down the river, Matsue in the sun Love your journals! Keep having a great time. When I was travelling/working my way around, my route was similar to yours. I loved the freedom of going where I wanted with no particular schedule to follow. I guess that's why it took me just under 3 years to get back home! Best of luck to you both. Japan was awesome. I too stood out, being 5'6", blond hair and blue eyed, I always had a camera pointed at me. They loved fair girls. Fiona must attract quite crowd at times with the young men and you with the ladies. Keep those blogs coming, they are great reading. |
| 9th September 2005 SA hiker | Spiders and snakes and crocs - From: Back where it all began, and goodbye to Australia... I have enjoyed following your travels in Australia. I often wondered if the stories of spiders/snakes/crocs/sharks/sporpions etc in Australia are perpetuated as a ploy to make sure only tourists with an adventurous streak come our way? Happy travels :) |
| 10th July 2005 Paul Les | Great Pics - From: Tie me Kangaroo down sport Thanks for sharing your kangaroo pics, from a guy in Florida |
| 8th June 2005 anonymous | C'ARN the mighty EAGLES!! - From: Footy - Let's go Eagles, let's go!! Shaggy, nice to see you like the Eagles!! GOOD choice Mate!! I am born and bred in Fremantle but when Freo Dockers joined the AFL in 1995, there was no way I could abandon the mighty Eagles and Join the Freo Dockers Supporters.. lots of my friends did, but there was something inside me ''that just could'nt do it'' I love the Eagles, and I am so PROUD that our wonderful coach John is with us today, he was once our MIGHTY CAPTAIN and now our brilliant COACH.."How perfect is that?" I sincerely hope we are in the GRANDFINAL this year 2005 !!! because that would give us an awsome BUZZ for ALL US DEDICATED WEST COAST EAGLE SUPPORTERS!!!!! all the best-cheers LIA - LiA |

Your trip looks AMAZING!! I hope money's not getting tight yet. I will send an email soon, Fi xxxx - Fiona Mck |
| 24th January 2005 Ali | NZ and Cars. - From: Road Trip !! Good idea renting a car - I bought one for $1400 (nz$) - everything was going well for most of the North Island - and then it blew up - literally, engine, metal, smoke, spread out across the road. Cost me a fair bit in the end. Least with a rental car it's a fixed cost and no surprises (I hope). Good luck on your road trip - NZ is an awsome place - hope you both like tramping! |
