| 31st July 2008 Otavio | Nice pics and text! - From: Lisbon (Lisboa)--Delightful Surprise Very nice pictures. I am Brazilian of portuguese descent and yould love to meet portugal. The sidewalks are similar to the ones we have on the sidewalk shores in Rio. Very nice. Sad that you got exploited by some "smart ass" guide. Thanx for sharing it! Btw i wonder where peter42y got the idea that the portuguse are arabs!! :? They are not arabs at all they are EUROPEAN CHRISTIANS. |
| 6th July 2008 Caroline | Good Show! - From: A Short Day in London Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventure. |
| 28th June 2008 Karin | Love taking your trip with you! - From: A Short Day in London Susan, it was as if I was with you on your journey. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It was great. I enjoyed it very much. |
| 25th June 2008 peter42y | - From: Lisbon (Lisboa)--Delightful Surprise I live in Lisbon. It is sad you got ripped off .Maybe the lesson you should learn is that you should go on a organized tour , not on your own. Portuguese are arabs..., and many arabs do not loose the ocasion to rip off tourists. ( Besides with the increase of the crude price things are getting more expensive in portugal.., so tourist guides must rip off tourists even more ). That is sad. Portugal main industry is tourism and those guides should do their best to please customers ( tourists ). It looks it was not the case. |
| 24th June 2008 Deanie Agich | I'm proud of you!!!!! - From: Two weeks and counting Susie, You are awesome putting this blog together. I admire your quest for knowledge and ambition to take on new challenges. I love you, Deanie! |
| 24th June 2008 Mary | What a Great Ship! - From: Life on the Ship Wow! I am so impressed with the ship! Sounds like being on board was as great as being in port, maybe even better in some cases. I don't think you were the only one who never learned their way around. When I went on a 7 day cruise on a boat much smaller than yours, I never learned either. Glad you had a great cruising experience. |
| 23rd June 2008 Madalyn | Olive oil - From: Normandy & Paris on D-day and B-day I've lost things in much the same way....maddening. Perhaps someone you know googled "Vigo" and "olive oil" and sent you a replacement, although how would that person know which brand? >sigh< RE Paris, those are great shots of you and your friends in front of the ET. Daughter Ashley found the people she encountered in Paris rude and condescending, with a few exceptions, and her impression has remained with me. Your blog doesn't dispel it.... |
| 23rd June 2008 SusieQ3443 | - From: Normandy & Paris on D-day and B-day That's a deal. When do you want to go??? |
| 23rd June 2008 Mary | You must go back! - From: Normandy & Paris on D-day and B-day You must go back to Paris and really see the sites! It is one of my favorite cities in Europe. I'll go back there with you! |
| 20th June 2008 Kelley | I was just there!! - From: We're Here!! It's wild to read about your travels to the very places I visited in November. I have a photo of me and my mom tossing our coins into the Trevi Fountain too!! A little bit different since we visited at night, but the facial expressions are the same! Very cool. |
| 18th June 2008 Linda | - From: Charming Cadiz I went to Cadiz last summer--beautiful beaches! But, we too ended up walking all the way back to the train station from the beaches because our tour bus never showed up! We thought we were going to miss our train! But, we made it! Just a hint about Spanish food--did you ever see a Spanish restaurant anywhere but Spain? Could have something to do with the fact that their food isn't that great!!!!! |
| 18th June 2008 Madalyn | Great pix, as usual! - From: Lisbon (Lisboa)--Delightful Surprise I'm thinking now that we've gotten the "ugly American" tag because others of us, confronted with deceitful, ripoff behavior at foreign ports, haven't been as nice about it as your party seems to have been. Are we just "marks" to foreign guides, I wonder? Maybe our rep isn't all about complaining of dirty accommodations, primitive toilets, absence of washrags, etc, as I used to believe. Anyway, you got some lovely photos and great memories! Kudos. |
| 18th June 2008 Karin | Fantastic - From: Charming Cadiz Your blog is great Susie! I found it very interesting and the pics are great. Looks like a great time. OK, I am off to look and read some more. |
| 18th June 2008 Mary | Rubber Tree! - From: Charming Cadiz I saw a rubber tree in Bangkok at the Cabbages and Condoms restaurant, but it didn't look anything like this one... |
| 17th June 2008 Madalyn | - From: We're Here!! What an incredible, wonderful trip! I enjoyed all of your blogs (read in backwards order). You're so lucky--and so adventurous. |
| 17th June 2008 Madalyn | Lovely - From: Livorno and Florence I see why Rick and Terri love to travel to Tuscany. If I ever get on a plane again, that will be the region I head for, too.... Thanks for taking the time and writing effort to bring these places to life. |
| 17th June 2008 Madalyn | Was the wine good? - From: Touring the French Riviera--Nice Gorgeous! This is my favorite of your blogs. Now I see why the Riviera is such a popular destination. |
| 17th June 2008 Madalyn | Fascinating place! - From: Casablanca Sounds like avoiding cabs altogether would be a good idea here. Could many interesting sites be accessed by walkers? |
| 16th June 2008 Adrienne | - From: Charming Cadiz You seem to be having the time of your life! This would be the cruise I would chose,not Mexico. I love reading all the blogs. Be safe. Adrienne |
| 16th June 2008 Tim | Wow! - From: Charming Cadiz Hey Mom, I just looked through your blog. It made me want to book another cruise for April and me! What a great trip. I'll talk to you soon. |
| 16th June 2008 Sam | Sorry - From: Gilbraltar Well it sounds like you have wonderful luck with sight-seeing but not so much with food around the cities. I am glad to know you have wonderful drinks (and food) on the boat to sustain you. Glad you are having a blast and I am loving reading about it!! |
| 13th June 2008 Sam | WOW!! - From: We're Here!! So I am catching up on your trip and I can't believe you had a view of the Bacilica. Thank you for sharing this trip with all of us!! |

| 11th June 2008 SusieQ3443 | - From: Livorno and Florence NO, that is Kathy. She does look a little like Marty. I never thought of that. I am home and trying to recover from a cold and jet lag. I'm writing in the blog as I can. See you soon, Susie |
| 11th June 2008 Mary | Is Marty there? - From: Livorno and Florence In the picture of Nicoletta, that woman looks just like Marty! I'm glad you are having a great time and seeing all the wonderful sights. Can't wait to hear all about it over margaritas. |
| 10th June 2008 Nancy | Great pictures - From: We're Here!! I enjoyed your first set of pictures. Looks like the B&B was a great place and location. Look forward to future entires. Nancy |
| 8th June 2008 Marty | - From: We're Here!! Can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories of all the fabulous places you have been to. |

| 11th May 2008 Mary | Can't wait! - From: Two weeks and counting Hi Susan! Even if you don't have time to blog while you travel, you can always keep a journal and blog when you get back. I am anxiously awaiting those witty comments and great pictures. |
