| 2nd January 2007 Jamey | Good to hear you're safe - From: Hectic few days in Egypt... Hey Matt, I'm glad to hear your trip has been fun and interesting and most importantly safe! I can't wait to see the pictures of that market. Bring me back a postcard for my collection. I look forward to hearing more... |
| 31st December 2006 Dad | Happy New Year to our world traveller.... - From: Hectic few days in Egypt... Hi Matt, all here wish you a very Happy New Year...with the 7 hour time difference it is already after 10 P.M. there so I guess you (and the others) may be getting ready to raise up a glass of spiked goat's milk or God knows what (read Allah in that part of the world) may be the beverage of choice there to ring in the New Year !! Be careful, my many Egyptian friends tell me it carries quite a kick!! Just remember...if the camels seem to start looking or smelling any better than they did since you guys arrived , it is DEFINITELY time to stop !!! Luv ya, Dad , Mom, Mike and Marissa |
| 30th December 2006 Dad | Great to hear from you...... - From: Hectic few days in Egypt... Hi Matt, real glad to hear that you are well and the trip seems to be going smoothly to this point. Sounds like an interesting place though it seems you are finding it rather different than you imagined ...what with the slaughtering of animals, pools of blood and all. Stay together and be careful....enjoy the time there and we will look forward to hearing from you again when you have a chance. Love and miss ya, Dad P.S. ...Mom has enjoyed reading your journal entries too and sends her love and wants you to be careful and to stay safe! |
| 30th December 2006 jason | hey matt - From: Hectic few days in Egypt... Hey man, glad to hear everything is going great so far. Don't forget the picture of the monkey wearing the hat at the bazaar! Stay safe and look forward to hearing from you soon. |

| 29th December 2006 Lucy | Alitalia? - From: First day in Cairo... It sounds like maybe you went Al Italia? (You mentioned a stop in milan). I just booked that same route (cairo via milan) for next month -- any tips about the flights, etc? |
| 28th December 2006 George | Cairo - From: First day in Cairo... Hey Matt, I'm glad you guys opted for someone to pick you up despite the suitcase strapped to the hood incident. Alexandria will be a nice breath of fresh air compared to Cairo. Say hello to the Corniche for me. GW |

| 3rd June 2005 anonymous | Down to my last week... - From: Down to my final week... Hi Matt, can't say i'm surprised to hear that you are a bit drained after running almost two months at such a frenetic pace. On the flip side, your coming home sounds great to all of us here who have missed you for so long. Dig deep to find the energy for the last few days and send me an e-mail with your arrival flight info. Looking forward to seeing you real soon, Miss ya lots! - Dad |
| 29th May 2005 anonymous | Hi Matt - From: ... Just wanted to say hi and hope all is still going well. Sounds like you had a good time in Slovakia and Herbert sounds like a really nice guy that was able to take the time to show you around and to spend some time with. Dad said you called from Prague on Friday and that Austin would only be with you for a few more days and then he had to go back to Spain. It sounds like you got along well with him and it was great that you had someone to share these experiences with. As far as here everything is fine. We had a really good time at the engagement party yesterday. We had the chance to meet some more of Carolyn's family and they were all very nice. Chris , Winnie and Brendan came back here after along with Grandma and spent a few hours while Jason and Carolyn went to their apartment to show her Dad and step-mom and her sister Jen and her family their new apartment. We saw it last Tuesday. They did a great job setting it up. They painted and Jason even laid down some carpet. Marissa worked today but it was very slow becaus of Memorial Day weekend. Everyone has Monday off which is always nice. We all look forward to your next journal. Stay well. MIss and love you Mom. - mom |
| 21st May 2005 anonymous | if it's Saturday, then this must be Slovakia... - From: Greetings from Slovakia Matt, as always, it is great to "hear" from you and get caught up on your journey. I would love to comment on any particular place you visit but b4 I get the opportunity...you are off and in some other country!! Thought I might give you a few key German phrases (so I actually reap some benefit from having studied the language for 4 years) but that's yesterday's news and I can't help you overcoming any Chechoslavakian language barriers...Sorry. Thought I would have more than 20 minutes for the German lesson...anyway keep the news flowing and I hope the local sulphur water causes you no gastrointestinal problems! Love and miss ya! - Dad |
| 18th May 2005 anonymous | In munich - From: In Munich... Hi Matt, Once again we have all been enjoying your journals and it was great to hear from you again on Marissa's birthday. She was so happy that you called. We went to Nocello's for her birthday and had a good time. After we had cake at the house and later she went out with her friends. Jason and Carolyn moved into their new apartment over the weeekend and are now busy unpacking and settling in. As you can see there in no one here canyoning or riding bikes down the side of mountains. The only excitement we've had here is Jason's car while parked mind you outside of work have the ground give way and the back of his car fall into the hole. He was very upset understandably and had to have his car towed and new tires and rims put on. His boss is paying all the expenses which is really nice of him. Ofcourse his was the only car damaged. The rest of us are all doing fine and are glad to hear that you are having a woderful time. Stay well and look forward to seeing what else you've been up to. Mom - christine critelli |
| 18th May 2005 anonymous | U little bitch - From: In Munich... Staying an extra 3 weeks? Bastard!....F.Y.I. -- B.J. has been trasferred to Yonkers, Fine is leaving to go to Friday's, and we have new posi-touch computers to get use to. If my pet's heads starting falling off, I'm moving to Aspen. Thanks for the b-day IM the other week. P.S. German Food Sucks! - Izzo |
| 12th May 2005 anonymous | As if the italians need more time off... - From: Last day or so in Italy Exactly what did you mean to imply with your comment "As if the italians need more time off..." As a prominent member of the Italian-American Society I must unfortunately take umbrage at your comment (and I think even challenge you to a duel, though I am not absolutely certain) in order to defend all of our members...which btw, include your Grandmother!! Don't apologize...just don't let it happen again... Love from all us here that you left behind...Dad - Dad |
| 6th May 2005 anonymous | Close call - From: Museums and such in Florence I'm glad to hear that you weren't missing anything. Like you said it is a wake up call. Glad you are still having a good time. By the way, we are having a girl. God help us!! - Chris |

| 28th April 2005 anonymous | Heyyy - From: Dublin Hey Matty, This are quiet with out you home these past few weeks. It sounds like your trip has been exciting and interesting so far.

| 23rd April 2005 anonymous | Italy - From: Dublin hey dude- u're line about street signs made me laugh. that was good. I was talkin to my mom about Italy. She said to make sure u have a lot of time for Florence which was her fav, and that Capri and Alfani Coast are beautiful. She also spent a lot of time in Naples and said other than Mt. Vesuvius, there's not too much to see. However, she said the food is amazing, and she had the best pizza ever while there. All my relatives live in Naples, so if u meet anyone with last name Izzo and they have relatives by the name of Michael (my father), Raymond (my uncle) and Pina (my Aunt - pronunciation -- rhymes with Tina) within the USA, they're family. I've never met them, so just say you're Chris Izzo, and you'll have a place to stay. Good luck. - Izzo |
| 18th April 2005 anonymous | Daily Reading - From: Last day in London... Matt - Your journal is great. Please continue to write as often as you have been. Neil and I read it as soon as we see there is a new posting. We also passed the link to Mike. He's hooked too. We're all very jealous. Trisha - Patricia |
| 17th April 2005 anonymous | Lemme know - From: Back at the hostel... Heyyy, I just wanted to say hi and that we miss you. Bill and Trish were asking about you... Let me know if you've been getting any of my emails.... or post it or w/e. Love you Susanne - Susanne |
| 16th April 2005 anonymous | Hey There - From: Getting settled in london... It sounds like you are having a great time in London so far. I am so jealous that you are out and about traveling all over Europe and I have to be here at home goin to school! But I am glad that you are having an awesome time. I read what you posted today, I must say I got a real good laugh that you got kicked off a bench because you have to pay to sit there! That is absolutely ridiculous lol! Well I have to run, I hope you are taking lots of pictures for us to see when you get back. Be safe and enjoy the rest of the time you will be spending in Europe! Desiree - Desiree |
| 16th April 2005 anonymous | Hey There! - From: Getting settled in london... - Desiree |
| 16th April 2005 anonymous | Ol Dirty Critelli - From: Getting settled in london... ...oldest trick in the book, "accidentally" getting into a girl's bed. Well done. Good to hear from you. The Giants and the Jets have folded and formed the New Jersey Penningtons. Also Lawrence Taylor was arrested for molesting collies. Enjoy yourself and save some of your old tricks for later! |
| 15th April 2005 anonymous | Hey Bro!!! - From: So much to do and see... Been reading your entries every night. You've done more these past 2 days then most people will ever do. Your entries are really funny and entertaining. I didn't know you had such a flair for creative writing!! It sounds like you are making the most out of every minute even being tired and all. Keep it up and live it up!! I really admire you for having the balls to do something this awesome!!! Lookin forward to your next entry. Make the most out of EVERY SECOND!! PEACE BRO!!!!!! - Mike |
| 15th April 2005 anonymous | Fun - From: So much to do and see... Well I am glad to hear you are having such a great time and meeting a lot of nice and interesting people. I accidentally hit the button to contact you so I don't know if you're getting those also. Good luck finding another place in whatever that place was. You are doing something that 90% of people only dream about, so have a blast. Look forward to reading more of your updates. - Chris |
| 13th April 2005 anonymous | your foot - From: Getting settled in london... hahahahhahaha... that's so something i would do. way to go! sorry, but that just made my night reading that... :P - Susanne |
| 13th April 2005 anonymous | first response.. - From: Getting settled in london... Already getting yelled at by the French, and sleeping in other people's beds. Damn you Critelli. Glad to hear the flight and traveling went smoothly, i'm sure u're glad to have ur feet on the ground. Keep in touch with that Liesl chick and we'll go to South Africa -- it's one of my top 5 destination. As promised, here is what u have missed since departing 1) Don's brother will be joining the Outback family 2) The rumors are true, Britney Spear's finally admitted pregnancy, and coicidentally, is also considering Wallaby Dinkum as a potential name. 3) Nadia Turner was eliminated from American Idol. 4) Gwen Stefani's "Hollerback girl" is the number 1 download at Itunes. (i had to) Now, i'm sure all this information makes you desperately want to return, but I beg u to stick it out, and see what Europe may have to offer you. Way to go on saving the 6 pounds -- every bit helps. Good to hear from you. Oh, and clearly you haven't spent enough time in Central Park to have made such a quick judgement. Brenda Fricker (the actress who plays the old woman in Home Alone 2 - yes i know her name) would not be caught dead feeding pidgeons in any other park. - Chris Izzo |
| 13th April 2005 anonymous | - From: Getting settled in london... It sounds like everything is going great so far and you'll really enjoy London. I actually hope this comment goes somehwere u can read it bc honestly i dont know if i did it right : /... Im jealous that i have to get up for school tomorrow and your in London. (Thanks a lot god lifes real fair ;) ... Well everyone at home has read what you did today wheather they respnided im not really sure. Keep us posted! Love yaa - Marissaaa |
| 12th April 2005 anonymous | Test - From: Pre-Trip Entry testing to see if this works - Chris |
