| 29th August 2008 Edmonds dad | Wait a minute - From: Cheering on the Burros You are both so good at writing, I feel like we are there. You guys have tried so many new things and appear willing and able to try anything and enjoy it. So, why don't I see pictures of you and David riding the donkeys in one of the races. I don't see how you can bring this tradition back to the US if you haven't tried it first. Come on you guys, get your acts together here! |

| 22nd August 2008 Edmonds Dad | Relaxing - From: Our Rendezvous with Rick Steve’s Italian Love Child: The Cinque Terra This looks like my kind of place. What a beautiful location. I can picture walking throught the narrow, hilly streets, exploring the town and meeting the people. Your mom would have to discuss the value of Rick Steves with the locals. However, she would not accept anyone saying anthing against him! Love dad |
| 21st August 2008 Mary | Leather and pasta.... - From: When in Rome….Don’t make the stupid ‘when in Rome’ joke….ugh… I like your jacket, David!

| 17th August 2008 Jim Corwin | Examining Pixels - From: The Swiss Adventures of R2D2 and Hippo Chelsea and David Chelsea Wow what courage. Are you sure you have Corwin genes in you? Listening to the guides tell me I have to jump off a 50 foot cliff I would tell them where to jump!! I am still examining the pixels in PhotoShop. Corwins in Marysville |
| 17th August 2008 Jim Corwin | Ardfert, Ireland - From: Remembering Ardfert, Ireland August 17, 2008 Chelsea and David Thank you so much for sharing with us a glimpse of Mom's heritage from Ireland. Yes she talked of Ireland and when we as children visited Massachusetts to see our grandmother I can see her standing in the doorway of the O'Leary homestead welcoming us all in. Corwins in Marysville |
| 16th August 2008 Edmonds Dad | O'Leary - From: Remembering Ardfert, Ireland That is so neat that you were actually in the town where your greatgrandmother probably ran around in as a child. Your mom and i are going to have to get to Ireland also and continue the detective work you and David began. Love dad |
| 12th August 2008 Edmonds Mom | Touching Hearts - From: Remembering Ardfert, Ireland Chelsea, what a priceless gift you have given your Grandma Cathy in choosing to share her past. She loves you so very much, and so do I! |
| 12th August 2008 Edmonds Mom | The 007 Dream Team - From: The Swiss Adventures of R2D2 and Hippo Your Swiss Alps days sound like boot camp for the next James Bond movie! You must show your future children all of these pictures...you will never lack for respect! I love you! |
| 11th August 2008 Danny | I am speechless........WOW!!!! - From: The Swiss Adventures of R2D2 and Hippo What an excellent adventure! I does not surprize me one bit that David would embark on such an excursion knowing his appetite for risk. Chelsea you are the girl!!!! I am totally impressed and look forward to a live rehersal of the entire adventure. This is a story worth telling again and again. Danny |
| 11th August 2008 Mary | Ahhhh.....you guys are crazy!!! - From: The Swiss Adventures of R2D2 and Hippo But what a day! And so glad you are both in one piece! I had tears in my eyes while reading and then looking at the pictures. Thank the Lord for his wonderful protection. oxoxoxoxo |
| 11th August 2008 Mary | More Irish! - From: Remembering Ardfert, Ireland Good to hear more details about your discoveries while in Ireland. Remind David that he is at least 1/4 Irish himself!! oxoxox |
| 11th August 2008 Edmonds Dad | - From: Munich Day 2: Mind-Soul-Body Wow. What an experience to visit and hear about the Nazi treatment of Jews. It must be very difficult for the german people to know that their ancestry is associated with this type of treatment of fellow human beings. Even though it is hard to visit this monument, it is great that you did. This honors the tormented and helps to heal the german people. You are both experiencing so many wondrous sites. Every place you go, you are truly living the experience. we love you and can hardly wait to hear more. |
| 11th August 2008 Edmonds Mom | "Raindrops On Roses & Whiskers on Kittens" - From: The Day of Days Chels, your voice over the phone was sweeter than the "sound of music!" I love you! PS. When you get home we will have movie night and introduce David to Julie Andrews! |
| 8th August 2008 Mary | wine, not beer, for me, too, Chelsea! - From: Munich Day 2: Mind-Soul-Body I am with you Chelsea, not being a beer drinker. I enjoyed reading your wonderful summary of a place I have not visited. Very sobering to consider the history. We love reading and tagging along with your journey! Very nice picture of you two at the end...love you both. xooox |
| 6th August 2008 Mary | Wish we were there! - From: 143mph on the Romantic Road! Ah romance! Good to hear the latest travel news. The Royal Breakfast looks really good, rather Scandinavian as well. That nightwatchman looks familiar, might have seen him on TV! Love and miss you guys (everything fine at your Seattle home, checked it yesterday). oxoxox |
| 6th August 2008 Edmonds Mom | back to your blogs! - From: 143mph on the Romantic Road! Ah romance! Catching up on your blogs was at the top of my list when we arrived back from our travels. They are absolutely my favorite reading materials.... Chelsea, I am going to rewatch my Rick Steve's Germany DVD because I think that very same Nightwatchman is on it! I love you both! Call home soon! |
| 5th August 2008 Team Little Kiss | the ONLY thing? - From: Gelato :) Applewine :( No, Chelsea did not drive on the Autobahn, I did all the driving, but I only made it to 230km/hour :) C'mon! The only thing you are envious of? What about all the german beer? We saw Hitler's office building today and yesterday we were in a well preserved medieval city on a tour with the night watchman. Humph! |
| 3rd August 2008 Danny | Did Chelsea drive on the autobahn? - From: Gelato :) Applewine :( Hello Champ, Have you driven on the autobahn yet? Is Chelsea going to take a turn? Probably the only part of your trip I'm envious of. Humph. |
| 31st July 2008 Mary | Wow, again!!! - From: Vikings at last! I loved seeing your pictures of Trondheim and the family there. It is another spectacular Norwegian place. Chelsea, hope you can make up for lost sleep on the night train...sorry about that!!! Safe travels this afternoon to Frankfurt. oxoxx |
| 31st July 2008 cousin john | - From: Smola and the Lillenes Farm I want to visit Smola. how do you get the little line through the o. You must have a norweigian keyboard eh? |
| 29th July 2008 Kelsey | Other Women... - From: Oslo day 2 I like the photo of David with his new female crew. Chelsea, I blame you for not subscribing in dress, accent and demeanor to David's true heritage. |
| 26th July 2008 Mary | WOW, again!!! - From: 70mph on the Atlantic Ocean So wonderful to see Stallvik again and all those wonderful relatives. Mange takk, Oddny and Ingar, for taking such good care of your Americans!!! I think you two, David and Chelsea, are having a spectacular visit and probably are wishing you had more time in each place. On to Smola, to the little bit of Lillenes land!!! |
| 25th July 2008 Team Little Kiss | you're welcome! - From: 2 Weeks later and David's fingernails are getting LONG! thanks edna, we miss you guys too! We are glad it is fun to read our blog, it has been fun to write it! |
| 25th July 2008 edna | AWESOME! - From: 2 Weeks later and David's fingernails are getting LONG! i love reading this! thanks for letting us in on what seems like an incredible experience.... can't wait to read more. miss you two. e |
| 24th July 2008 cousin john | The Fatherland - From: Norway, land of my forefathers. David, Give my best with a huge embrace to all the Vaage's. I love Jevnaker. Hilsa fra John. |
| 24th July 2008 Mary, mom | more of Oslo - From: Oslo day 2 Hey, more great pictures of your Olso experience!! Looking forward to the Jevnaker scenario with those great relatives!!! xoox |
| 22nd July 2008 edmonds mom | Ireland loves you - From: Best of Ireland Your adventures are amazing! I feel that I am sitting in the back seat with you (although it is doubtful three would have been able to sleep in your toyota)! I love you and Ireland does too! |
| 22nd July 2008 Cuz Ambo/Baby Tyler | Good Times - From: Norway, land of my forefathers. Your mom- just sent me your blog link and its fabulous- Im glad to see your keeping up on your diving skills-Im excited to hear about the Viking Ship museum and the rest of your adventures Love ya |
| 22nd July 2008 edmonds mom | diving champ - From: Norway, land of my forefathers. David, your dive is impressive! Do you need to detour to Beijing and bring the gold home!! We miss you and love you both and can hardly wait to see the Norwegian sweaters! |
| 22nd July 2008 Edmonds Dad | Norway Swim - From: Norway, land of my forefathers. OK David; I think it's great that you dove into the water and a picture was taken. I think though, that now your going to have to get Chelsea to dive in at the same place. I think it's the only acceptable thing to do. Norway looks like a wonderful place to visit. So you say that Norway is expensive. We'll see soon enough which place wins in terms of expense; England or Norway. I have heard alot about Norweigan sweaters. We can hardly wait to see them. I think Seattle is the right place to have such sweaters, especially during fall and winter. Edmonds dad |
| 22nd July 2008 Edmonds dad | Oleary - From: Best of Ireland Wow, that was quite a bit of detective work. You should both open up a private detective agency. Based on the door heigth at the oleary homestead, I think you both are beginning to piece together the puzzle. Yes Chelsea, you are part hobbit! In all seriousness, it looks like you are really living this experience. You will always remember this. We thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Well, we are getting ready to head out today. Your blogs are making us anctious to get started and begin to experience the adventure also. We love you Dad |
