| 15th November 2009 Anonymous | Nice Trip - From: Home sweet home - a grand finale Enjoyed your blogs on your trip. How the heck you could afford to do this in this economy is beyond me but kudos to you. Next time we expect less running and more crazy nights. |
| 20th October 2009 Peter | Gastronomic remark - From: Bathing in Budapest The goulash is Hungarian, what Czech call goulash is porkolt in Hungary, which might be similar to the one you tried in Czech, though much more tasty. Czech goulash is like french pizza... |
| 17th October 2009 Kitty & John Siggins | ancestry - From: I made it Hello Ryan, Weve been reading your blog and really enjoying it. I told your Mom that maybe you should take up writing next! Anyway, John & I have done some research and that was your g.g. grandfather you found. We have the bible he brought with him from Ireland and he has written in the front when he left Ballymurray, when he arrived in Canada and a few other margin notes throughout. Next time you e down we can bring out the Siggins research if you e interested. Keep having fun and keep writing. Kitty |
| 9th October 2009 Thirsty Hurst | - From: Let’s get out of Dodge If you want. I'm definitely not going to be running as quick as last year. I'll probably stop and chat with people, too. Don't feel obligated but of course you're more than welcome. I think my parents are going up that morning. They'll probably be somewhere in Brooklyn, then First Ave and Central Park. Much like we did for Mike but also with a Boorklyn stop. You can always follow them. |
| 9th October 2009 Karyn | - From: Let’s get out of Dodge It's time to come home now, we miss you! By the way...do you want some cheerleaders during your marathon run? We're just trying to plan the upcoming weekends. Can't wait to hear more about your memorable trip, and enjoying your blogs! |

| 12th September 2009 Thirsty Hurst | Response to Phil - From: All's well that ends well Ha ha. Well, I do find a lot of time to think about things when I'm on the train and when I'm doing them. I try not to think "this will be great on the blog" but sometimes it works out that way. I also try and reflect on much of what I do and not just check the box and move on. That's not my style. Something tells me that it's not yours either. It has. But I have been able to persevere. It's a bit of a unique challenge, really. But when I'd come back I'd prefer to absorb a bit more culture by communicating with the locals. Of course I did. I don't mean to suggest that I am him. I can probably equally compare and contrast. But I was surprised to see how much I could compare. We probably all can do this, though. |
| 11th September 2009 Phil | Communication Breakdown - From: All's well that ends well How the hell do you find the time to write so much? It looks like the communcation barrier is getting to you. Funny little comparison of yourself to McCandless. |
| 23rd June 2009 Jo Taylor | Great travelblogs - From: Tidbits - A red state tour wrap up I am glad this trip has given you a new outlook on life. I personally follow the belief that it is better to experience life without a necessarily set path. Of course there is always a time and place for that, especially once you have the responsibility of a family and mortgage, but the trick is to do it before that stuff happens. So many people I grew up with haven't seen much of the world and consider a holiday driving an hour south to the Gold Coast. It is all career, career, career. I guess what ever floats your boat. More specifically, New Orleans was an awesome and our two nights of drunken debauchery will long live in my memory and is a definite highlight of my 3 months travelling through the USA. I would love to join you in Europe and if you were doing it next year, I would be there with bells on, but alas I am now a poor, unemployed bum looking for a home and job in Vancouver. Wish me luck and hopefully I can catch up with you during my 2 years in North America. |
