| 11th January 2007 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Zermatt: The land of huge mountains and Skiing Mike and Kel, It sure has been fun tagging along with you guys on this trip. It’s been entertaining, exciting, adventurous and informative. It’s been very inexpensive as well (for me). Mike does such a good job of describing the cuisine I often feel I can almost taste the food. Wherever we are headed next, bring it on. I’m ready. |
| 9th January 2007 laura | - From: Interlaken, Gimmelwald, and Murren Hi - so the pictures of Switzerland have been amazing - I so want to go and ski and eat Fondue!!! I could definitely see you too running a hotel somewhere :) Keep the stories coming - I love reading it! Have fun and be safe. |
| 7th January 2007 Gus | Hilarious! - From: Hippies, Roma, Gypsies...they're all in Granada Catching up on the story of your travels over a beer on a lazy Saturday evening (translation - I'm old). Makes you wonder who/what got stuck there prior to the sign. |
| 7th January 2007 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Snow in Kitzbuhel Mike and Kel, It sounds like you guys had a great day on the slopes at Kitzbuhel. Both of you really wear your whipped cream well. There’s nothing like hot chocolate after being outside in winter weather. Kel, you did a great job of taking out your ski instructor. It sounds like when you get back you should start taking martial arts training with Mike as your teacher. |
| 2nd January 2007 Leslie | striking the pose - From: Sound of Music Tour Loved the picture of you two kissing in front of the gazebo and I laughed out loud, Kel, when I noticed your foot coquettishly kicked up behind . . . that is oh, so-o you. ;) |
| 1st January 2007 Don and Lindz | It's not the heat, it's the humility - From: New Years Eve and New Years Day So, it's raining it's meteorological butt of here in Monde du Riche. Not a pretty start to 2007, but it does give one time to reflect on the myriad of things one will not accomplish in the coming year. |
| 1st January 2007 Don and Lindz | Happy New Year! - From: Sound of Music Tour To all of youz from all of us. You were missed last night but Salzburg isn't a bad backdrop for missing your friends. We love you and have fun! |
| 1st January 2007 Jennifer & Michael Khoury | All the Best in 2007! - From: A Driving Sort of Day Hello from Virginia! We really enjoyed reading your journal entries today (Michael, your Mom gave me your Team Turner site when we went to lunch). The pictures are wonderul and so is your commentary. It is nice to live vicariously through you. We want to travel to Italy and New Zealand. My brother lived in New Zealand for a year and loved it. You are going to end up being lots of friends' travel consultants! We'll keep checking in on your updates. Take Care!!! Michael & Jennifer |
| 29th December 2006 Katie | Happy New Year - From: A Driving Sort of Day Happy almost New Year, Team Turner! I just took a minute to get caught up on your Christmas week travels. Thanks so much for the pix of the snow. Richmond has been in the 50's and 60's so it was nice to see some snowcovered trees at this holiday time of year. I'm sure you now appreciate how tough those bicycle racers (like in the Tour de France) have it when they have to navigate those tiny goat path mountain roads. Have a great once-in-a-lifetime New Year's celebration! Katie |
| 27th December 2006 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Twas the Night Before Christmas Mike and Kel, You guys continue to do the adventurous, vigorous activities. Any time you go a mile up a steep incline it’s quite an accomplishment. Way to go! |
| 26th December 2006 Alison & Creighton Anders | Merry Christmas! - From: Merry Christmas Merry Christmas, Team Turner!! Looks like you all continue to have an amazing time. We're thinking of you and missing you over the holidays. Happy '07 and keep the amazing pics coming! Much love!! |
| 26th December 2006 Noland | Merry Christmas - From: Twas the Night Before Christmas Have a Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the great details!!! |
| 26th December 2006 Don | Not the only schmuck... - From: Nazi History in Nurnberg Just the best schmuck you know. Merry Christmas! (on an old blog) |
| 25th December 2006 Beth Shadur | Merry Xmas - From: Winter Arrives as We Travel South Hope you two are having a cosy and beautiful Xmas. love, beth |
| 25th December 2006 Cetta | Merry Xmas! - From: Twas the Night Before Christmas Hey Team Turner - Just stumbled on your travel blog! I'll have to catch up on some reading! Have a Merry Christmas in Germany! |
| 25th December 2006 Rebecca T. | Merry merry! - From: Twas the Night Before Christmas Just wanted to wish you both a merry Christmas. It's so cool to be able to see this journey through your eyes. |
| 25th December 2006 Laura Walger | Merry Christmas !!!!! - From: Twas the Night Before Christmas Wow- what beautiful pictures! Brian and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas that you will cherish for a lifetime. We miss you guys ! |
| 23rd December 2006 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Traveling to Munich through Dachau: The Shadow of Tragedy Mike and Kel, Your day sure was one of contrasts. At the beginning you were being exposed to the horror and evil of Dachau. At the end of the day you got to see goodness and beauty in a children’s angelic choir singing from a balcony on a church. I’m sure such experiences will produce lasting impressions. Have a blessed Christmas in Fuessen. My favorite words from the Christmas story are “Good news of great joy”. |
| 22nd December 2006 Marge | - From: Museums and Fun in Munich Merry Christmas from Arnie and Marge. Family will be at Dawn's for Christmas Day. Love your travelblog. Sending you both much love... |
| 21st December 2006 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Museums in Nurnberg Mike and Kel, It sounds like Germany is becoming a favorite for you guys. Glad to hear that you have a king size bed. It must feel good. The basketball shoot with the goggles on at The Sensory Museum sounds like fun. I would like to provide such goggles for my opponents the next time I play basketball. Quip for the day: What word do they use in Italy for the American word blog? Bologna =) Mike, in no way am I hinting that your blogs are full of boloney. |
| 18th December 2006 Scott Neilson | - From: Rothenberg and Romantic Christmas I went to Rothenberg about 15 years ago during a soccer trip over there. Rothenberg (along with Berchesgarden (sp?)) was one of my favorite places. Thanks for the great pictures - they bring back some great memories. |
| 18th December 2006 Brad McNamara | Hey - From: Pedi-Cabs and Crowds in Rothenberg hey guys, I'll be Zurich/Baden the week of January 29th if you're "in the neighbourhood". Have a great Xmas. Enjoy the ride. Brad |
| 16th December 2006 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Rothenberg and Romantic Christmas Mike and Kel, You guys continue to do a terrific job on the blogs. All your fans are able to take this trip with you because you are providing such a detailed account of each day; even a fancy toilet seat. It’s good to see you have a larger size room with a comfortable looking bed. It sure looks like Germany is the place to be during the Christmas season; everything looks quite festive. |
| 16th December 2006 Al Beimfohr | toiletten - From: Rothenberg and Romantic Christmas Ich liebe ihren toiletten sitze! Love the blog, Michael......makes me want to run over to Deutschland right now, cold weather be damned! Have a few "bieren mit schnapps chasers" for us........All the Best and have a Great Christmas (in Nuernburg, if you can get there)........Love you guys........Al (don't miss Dresden, Eisenach, Regensburg, Sylt and the BMW factory tour in Dingolfing) |
| 15th December 2006 Eric Swenson | Cool pix! - From: Bonn Dia Hey guys, I hope you're having fun; it sure looks it! I'm really interested in seeing what you end up doing for Christmas. I guess your choices are limitless. Take care not to get the bird flu. -E |
| 14th December 2006 Leslie | - From: Chocolate Dreams and Christmas Wishes How I love reading your blogs and studying the pictures. You know me, no quick perusal but a concentrated effort to see what you’ve seen and more importantly to see what your faces are saying. So far you guys seem to be having the time of your lives. I couldn’t be more delighted for you. =) Love ya!!! |
| 13th December 2006 Leigh | You guys are making me hungry - From: Driving to Cologne and Christmas Markets I absolutely LOVE your detailed descriptions of the food. However, it does make me hungry when I read your blog. oh well. Enjoy Koln! |
| 13th December 2006 Laura Walger | MJ - From: From Madrid to Frankfurt Sooo, MJ had a fan in Germany... wonder how the David Hassellhoff is going to handle this... can't wait for you guys to get to France and run into Jerry Lewis fanatic! |
| 13th December 2006 Don | great idea - From: From Madrid to Frankfurt Next week on the Amazing Race.... "umm...we've lost one of the couples. I have no idea where they...yes, sir. I know. what's that? they've stopped racing? Oh. They're christmas shopping? great. nice episode that'll make." |
| 12th December 2006 Bryan Lewis | The Amazing Race - From: From Madrid to Frankfurt Every time I read your Blog I think of the TV show "The Amazing Race". I think you two should apply for the show next year. You are already in training. |
| 11th December 2006 Brad McNamara | You're Gettin' Closer - From: From Madrid to Frankfurt Hey Guys, I'm in Baden, just west of Zurich so you're getting closer but not quite close enough to get together for a pint. I'll be leaving by the end of the week (another key difference between our trips). Keep your sense of adventure ( and humour ) and enjoy the ride. Keep the updates comin in' Brad |
| 11th December 2006 Haines | Baggage - From: From Madrid to Frankfurt Sounds like someone is carrying around a little extra baggage! I hope this car rental is as fun as the little red apple on wheels you had last time. |
| 11th December 2006 Don Dada | tutorial - From: From Madrid to Frankfurt Your Madrid guy needs to talk to our Barcelona guy about some MJ tunes. The MJ dancer in La Ramblas was a spitting image. I think we should have a bum training school in America so our panhandlers can have a few entertainment skills like their European brethren. Waddya say? |
| 11th December 2006 Katie M | Your pics appeal to a toddler... - From: Shop Till You Drop...But Don't Buy Much Well, Claire caught a glimpse of the wig pictures and thought they look way cool (you got her pointing and doing toddler-speak at the computer). I'm looking forward to showing her the chicken picture tonight. Looks like you guys are having lots of fun. No ideas for you for New Year's, as our New Year's are almost always dull (of our own choosing). Keep the blogs coming. Between your trip and my friend who is in China adopting baby #2, I'm getting a lot of armchair travel in this month. Take care. |
| 11th December 2006 Aaron Parks | Whew! - From: Shop Till You Drop...But Don't Buy Much Do you know how much Cap One time I just spent catching up on your travel wares from the begining?? I was rifling through my wallet when I came upon the business card you gave me, MT. So glad I took the time to type in the URL! Kel, we haven't met, but I've known Mike for a few years here at Cap One. I wish you guys the best. Keep taking pictures! I think that's my favorite part as I live vicariously through you guys... :) |
| 11th December 2006 laura white | thanks for sharing - From: Errands and the Royal Palace just love the stories and photos. Is it hard to believe it has been a month? What is your favorite memory so far? look forward to getting your postings - and I'm very jealous of the afternoon naps :) Laura |
| 11th December 2006 Bruce / Daddy | - From: Wigging Out in Madrid Mike and Kel, Looks like you guys had great fun with the wigs. Maybe you can start a new trend when you come back to Capital One. I was trying to come up with a sentence using the word ‘wig’. My best shot is as follows: While walking through the woods 'swigging' a bottle of soda I looked down and saw an 'earwig' on the ground and also a 'wiggly' worm clinging to a 'twig'. |
| 9th December 2006 Laura Walger | crazy ideas - From: Wigging Out in Madrid I love the top pic where the woman with green & white hair is giving you the stink eye like you are the weird one. What a crazy tradition.. thank you so much for sharing it with us. I'm thinking that the NYE party is going to have some sort of wig requirement ... |
| 9th December 2006 Laura Walger | - From: Paella, Chatting and the Alhambra When you guys get back are you going to get a cat??? Every town has Kel and a cat hanging out. Its a sign... actually you can have one of ours! Alahambra is beautiul - thank you for the pics! |
| 9th December 2006 Laura Walger | awww - From: Marbella, A Place for the Rich, the Famous . . . and Us! aww, the picture with the kitty ! YES I am a cat fan- love my doggies but a cuddly kitty will get me everytime. Glad you guys are enjoying the good life- it looks like you could get very comfortable there! |
| 9th December 2006 Laura Walger | WOW - From: The Sort of Days That I Live for The pictures are beautiful- Marabella & Zahara are spectacular. Thank you for taking so many pics and keeping up with the journal. Its wonderful to read. Today ( 12/09) its a high of 30 dg and cloudy- Spain pics to chase away the doldrums! Thank you! |
| 8th December 2006 Katie M | Wig Crazy - From: Wigging Out in Madrid I love the wig pictures -- but how exactly are wigs tied to Catholic Christmas? While you both are quite striking in your do's, my personal fave is the older woman in the pink punk hair. BTW, you should both be able to hold your own at a chic art opening with all the great art you are seeing. Not too many people know Gris! I don't know if you knew this, but your TravelBlog autogenerates custom ads based on the title you give your entry. Today - it's all about the wig wholesalers. Target marketing at its finest. Better watch what you put in your headlines :-) Congrats on reaching the milestone of one month away. I'm thoroughly enjoying my trip around with world through you. Keep having fun. |
| 8th December 2006 Rebecca | Wig props - From: Wigging Out in Madrid Only Kel is fashion-savvy enough to pick wigs that look good no matter which one of your heads they're on! Well done! |
| 8th December 2006 Tracy | too funny - From: Wigging Out in Madrid Love the wigs you guys! I am enjoying the pictures! |
| 8th December 2006 Leigh | Meat Tiara? - From: Entering Madrid I'm a little behind in reading your blogs but in the window display picture, it really looks like a meat tiara. What is that???? |
| 7th December 2006 Bruce / Daddy | - From: The Prado and Christmas Craziness Mike and Kel, It sounds like your ‘river princess’ ride on the estanque at the Parque del Buen Retiro was a lot of fun. My only comment is that the person that rented you the rowboat had not taken boating 101. One of the first rules of boating is everybody wears a life jacket. It looks like you guys didn’t end up swimming, however, so all is well. |
| 6th December 2006 Schiller | Hola! - From: The Prado and Christmas Craziness Sorry I hadn't written a note in a while. Spain is muy bueno - I strongly support countries with institutionalized nap time and lots of coast line. Madrid is one of my favorite cities so glad that you guys are getting to explore and are ejoying it. Hope all is well. |
| 6th December 2006 Don Juan de Reeshmonde | Shutter Drag!! - From: Entering Madrid Mikey...your picture of the street band...excellent example of shutter drag. You had the principle subject of the band standing relatively still compared to the walker to the left of the frame. In daylight like that you need a shutter speed of around 1/100th to stop most normal motion. It looks like you were at about 1/30th here. So...you get the blurry walker which is a really cool effect. Another way to do this would be to actually follow the walker with your lens as they moved in front of the band. Then you're walker would have been relatively sharp and the band/background would be blurred. Your friendly neighborhood photographer and his unasked for tutorials ;) |
| 6th December 2006 TP | Christmas Hair - From: The Prado and Christmas Craziness Are you sure you guys arent really in Oompa Loompa land. That hair looks really familiar |
| 5th December 2006 Brad McNamara | So close - From: Entering Madrid Hey Guys, It's been great following your adventure - sounds like you're building a few memories. I'm actuallly in Milan until Dec 10 (and Zurich until Dec 14). Too bad you weren't just a little closer and we'd get together for some Xmas nog. Regardless, have a great journey and keep the updates comin' in. Brad |
