| 11th April 2008 Shane | Incredible! - From: The Pictures Speak For Themselves Hi Guys, I have a lot of friends travelling and keep updated with their Travels on this site, and every so often a story or photo will grab my attention as yours did...I live in South Africa and just wanted to say you took some spectacular shots of our wildlife, the pictures are INCREDIBLE... I myself have spent more than a few days in the bush and not seen so much activity or as many animals, and friends' trips definately do not yield as many spectacular pics...I was just hoping to give you & your friends a sense of how fortunate you were, and I'm glad you had such an amazing experience here in light of your hesitancy to come in the first place. And thanks for sharing these pics. |
| 8th April 2008 Emily | someone should pay you - From: If Underwear Were Food, Then Long Underwear Would Be Manna From Heaven I know that probably other people have said this before, but some travel company should really hire you two to travel the world on their dime and report back to the rest of us on it. You two have such refreshing insight and delightful commentary on the globe-trotting experience. I wish I had found your blog while you guys were still travelling. Any plans for a great North American road trip? |
| 28th March 2008 ashley | amazing - From: If Underwear Were Food, Then Long Underwear Would Be Manna From Heaven those photos are spectacular. do u do professional photography? |

| 27th March 2008 Justin (sprucemoose) | What the? - From: If Underwear Were Food, Then Long Underwear Would Be Manna From Heaven Mate you can make even the most normal settings look amazing. All of your photos are just so vivid and crisp. It borders on ridiculous! |
| 27th March 2008 Leanne | Love your blogs - From: If Underwear Were Food, Then Long Underwear Would Be Manna From Heaven Love reading your blogs, they always makes me think about my travel experiences. Keep up the good work =) |
| 22nd February 2008 rosee | WOW!!! - From: The Pictures Speak For Themselves i have never seen such increible, breath taking photos! i can only dream of how experiencing that could change your life. Thanks for the opportunity to view such amazing creatures! |
| 19th February 2008 Steve | Enjoyed the reminder of the salt mine - From: Salt Mines in Berchtesgaden I went to the salt mines 20 years ago as a young soldier stationed in Germany. It was fairly cheesy then too, but we also had to wear a supposidly traditional miners hat too. It looked like a black Fez, but without the tassle. It made the photos taken there that much more cheesy. I wonder when they stopped with the hats... maybe after a bad bout of head lice :-) Headed back to Germany this fall, will have to visit the salt mines and Salzburg again. Thanks for stirring up some fun old memories and heres to creating some new ones. |
| 14th February 2008 Amanda Dave | Nice Photos! - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging your photos are awesome. we are getting ready to go on safari and now i can't wait! |
| 15th January 2008 Alan and Donna | Loved hearing about my old stomping ground - From: Borat’s Rodeo, Appomattox Courthouse and Foamhenge: An Odyssey Through Western Virginia Your Roanoke blog was great reading with my morning coffee and a fun reminder of the 16 years that I lived there. Next time, take a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway, either south of Roanoke to Chateau Morrisette Winery or north to the Peaks of Otter for a hike and a meal. I'll be in Roanoke the first week of February to visit my three-month old granddaughter. Can't wait! |
| 15th January 2008 garron | foamhenge? - From: Borat’s Rodeo, Appomattox Courthouse and Foamhenge: An Odyssey Through Western Virginia i thought i knew virginia pretty well, and have been to roanoke and salem many times...but foamhenge?!?!?!? |
| 2nd January 2008 Dan | Kruger National Park - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging We will be visiting the park in early March and we are wondering if you saw a lodge there that was comfortable and nice within the park itself. The Park sounds great and we would also like some really great food (Italian?) and a jacuzzi within the lodge/resort. Any ideas?

| 18th December 2007 Gunga | History at home - From: It Seems That Some Stereotypes Do Contain Truth I grew up in Boston and Plymouth ( by the way it is the forefather's monument not the 4 fathers). I had never visited Bunker Hill, the Constitution or most of the other historical places that Boston is famous for until , as an adult, I hosted some foreign students from Japan. Thanks for highlighting the beautiful places in our own backyard.Carolyn ( blogger name 'gunga') |
| 17th December 2007 Kathy Martell | Massachusetts Visit - From: It Seems That Some Stereotypes Do Contain Truth Enjoyed reading your blog about Cape Cod and Plymouth. I was just there in August and had a fantastic time. The history around Plymouth was astounding. I loved the Statue of the 4 Fathers. Did you see it up on the hill in Plymouth. I too walked on the boardwalk in Sandwich. I was surprised as to what people in Massachusetts considered a boardwalk. Ours in Seaside, Oregon is between the beach and the town with lots of shops or hotels on it. Both versions are very unique. Happy traveling and Merry Christmas! Kathy |
| 14th December 2007 Haines | hmmmm.... - From: A Bittersweet Trip To The Land of The Leprechaun You're still not scary--even with facial hair. Your pics are awesome. Hope you guys are settling back in comfortably. |
| 12th December 2007 Schiller | Mikey is all grown-up - From: A Bittersweet Trip To The Land of The Leprechaun The facial hair almost makes you look respectable. Almost. |

| 15th November 2007 Haines | Penguins - From: Beautiful Weather As Far South As You Can Go Penguins are awesome! thanks for the cool pics. |
| 14th November 2007 michael mongno | what gorgeous pics - From: Beautiful Weather As Far South As You Can Go Hi dear Kelley and Michael, thanks so much for capturing and sharing such beautiful replications of Mother Natures's most glorious artwork. You two are so blessed which in turn blesses all of us as well. Yours... ~Michael |
| 11th November 2007 schiller | critters - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging To echo the earlier comments - pics are great. Glad that you guys had a surprise (for Mike at least - Kelley being far wiser already knew it would be a good time) highlight of the entire venture here toward the end. Curiosity question - how are you going to feel about your prior preferred activity of zoos following the safari? Either maxed out on animals just for a time or is natural habitat the pinnacle that can't be duplicated? |
| 10th November 2007 Bruce / Daddy | Boston Rocks! - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging This is the year that Boston rocks; the world champion Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots (9-0 record), the Boston Celtics (undefeated so far), and TeamTurner (50% of which comes from Boston). You guys have done it all! The African safari is amazing. Mike, the pictures are outstanding. I really like the captions that you choose for each one. They are fun and witty. Kelley continues to do a terrific job in planning your trips. |
| 10th November 2007 TeamTurner | Correction On Above Comment - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging Thank you Stella for your comments. We've actually spent the last year all over the world. If you're interested you can look at our other blog entries for a view of our other destinations. |
| 10th November 2007 Stella | Pictures - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging I like the striped millipede picture best of all. All of the pictures, however, are pretty amazing. How lucky that you've gotten to spend a year in South Africa. |
| 9th November 2007 steffen | The Pictures Speak For Themselves - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging The title of your previous blog really fits ... excellent photos again! Keep them coming. |
| 9th November 2007 Crazy Canucks | Once in a Lifetime - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging TeamTurner - awesome pics, we stayed down the road at Lions Sands, and the Safari was our #1 experience during our year around the world trip. The first safari experience is out of this world and you have captured it amazingly. South Africa as you have mentioned is an incredibly difficult place to digest as a foreigner - the memories of the townships will never be lost. They are 1,000x worse than any poverty I've seen anywhere in the world, which includes India, for no other reason that a bunch of people knowing put millions of people in that inhumane situation. Keep up the blogs. Your title for S.A. is great...a bit more tactful that ours!! Although I do believe that Apartheid will not be overcome for at least 5 generations, although if the world cup occurs down there the media will portray otherwise. Cheers, |
| 9th November 2007 amanda | amazing! - From: Diversity Can Be Amazing And It Can Be Challenging Your pictures are amazing!!! Leopardess in waiting is my favourite. Good job...... |
