| 21st July 2009 Coffee | Coffee in Paksong. - From: Sweet Dreams and Coffee Beans Sorry that you had to wait while I was on my way back from my monthly shopping. But I'm sure that you liked my fresh roasted coffee and Thao's coffee farm. :P Next time when you are in the neighborhood I'll show you the coffee farming myself in Paksong, ok? Have a save journey. Coffee |
| 5th July 2009 Heather | - From: Scratching the Backbone of the Southern Alps Haha, yes Linds that bungy looks very familiar. I can't believe you guys did the other one...craziness!!! That's definitely some guts, I don't think I could have handled it. You guys sure have some beautiful pics. I just might have to steal a few to replace a few of mine! |
| 17th June 2009 Suhail | NZ is my wife's dream destination - From: Scratching the Backbone of the Southern Alps What a fantastic trip of NZ you two are having. Lindsay, my wife visited NZ and especially its Fjordland National Park and hiked in its renouned Milford Track as a young girl. She keeps torturing me all the time talking about the beauty of NZ's Southern Island. But unlike the two of you, we will remain off extreme sports. That is not for us haha. But I do admire your courage. Your blogs are very informative. We are gathering all the info we can through your writings. Nice job indeed, but do remember -"greater the summer vacation, harder the fall" haha - just kidding. And hope to see you again with TriFit. Keep posting all the nice posts. Live long and prosper. |

| 22nd May 2009 Rachel Putman | Living in a van down by the river - From: Driving Miss Daisy! Though New Zealand looks amazing and I really wish that I had made it down there with you guys, a Chris Farley SNL throwback is always appreciated. Hope you guys are loving it! |
| 21st May 2009 Suhail | Correction - From: Turtles and Sharks and Rays, Oh My! In my last message, I meant Steve Irwin (some people spell him as Steve Irvine, which is not correct) :-) |
| 21st May 2009 Suhail | Finally, the wildlife haha - From: Turtles and Sharks and Rays, Oh My! Lindsay: Its so good to be on your pages again, especially this travel entry is great. Good wildlife encounters. Good pictures. Matt and you seem to be enjoying the wilder side of Malaysia and not so enjoying the comfy side LOL. Malaysia is my family's favorite destination. We have been there and will be there again soon. So any shark and ray encounters - be careful. Don't attempt a Steve Irvine please. Photography from safe distance is the best bet. |
| 14th May 2009 Janice | Ewww - From: Sensational Sapa That is absolutely gross - only you would take pictures of dog meat! |

| 2nd May 2009 Two4theShow | - From: Limestone Karsts & Snake Hearts Thanks for the interest. We are not professional writers but its very flattering to have someone ask. I guess that means that the amount of time we put into the blogs has paid off! Thanks for the comment. |
| 2nd May 2009 Two4theShow | Snake Village - From: Limestone Karsts & Snake Hearts Hey there! Snake Village is right in Hanoi. We signed up through Hanoi Backpackers (The biggest backpacker hostel in Hanoi). It was well organized and probably the most fun since it's all backpackers that stay there. Enjoy! |

| 29th April 2009 Carla | I'm both impressed and horrified... - From: Limestone Karsts & Snake Hearts Wow...you guys are even braver than Indiana Jones. I am especially impressed that Lindsay went first. Good to know it tastes like chicken, but I don't think I'll be trying that shot any time soon. Good to hear from you guys and your amazing adventures. |
| 10th April 2009 Danz | Fat Head - From: Confessions of a Shopaholic Hahaha. I actually laughed out loud while reading the story of Hank and Sheila. I want to see your puffy paint shirt, Matt. I probably could have done a better job, and for free too! p.s I can't believe how much weight you've lost, brother! Your head looks huge in that picture too. I know you've always had a big head, but it just looks more akward! haha Miss you guys! |
| 9th April 2009 Julie | oh no! - From: Confessions of a Shopaholic hey guys.... just wanted to say.....I saw the pic of the old lady chewing betal nut....hopefully you guys didn't have any - it's not good for you and causes cancer! Serious! say away!!!! Love you! |

| 4th April 2009 Heather | - From: One Glass Bang to Koh Ru! You two sure make life back in Canada seem dull...why don't we all live and work in Koh Ru?! |
| 4th April 2009 gogglespythano | Amazing! - From: One Glass Bang to Koh Ru! This is such a cool story, way to go! I envy you two, can't wait to catch up when you're back. Incidentally, at my new job, I get to drink on the job. AND I recently got to drink a beer while doing a presentation to a series of agencies and directors. :D That said, I didn't get to do it on an island. :( |
| 28th March 2009 anonymous | - From: It's a Holiday in Cambodia! You guys are the best |
| 28th March 2009 Kati | - From: The Missing Generation You have captured this really well. I am impressed with not only your photo's but your ability to describe this disaster from your own point of view and reflection. Kai Pai, From the New Zealanders xo |
| 9th March 2009 Dan R. | Skip Patong, Not Phuket - From: Swim Suits, Santa Hats and Birthday Buckets Hey Matt and Linds, If you're talking about Patong beach (matches your description) then I definitely understand what you're saying about Phuket, but Phuket is a huge island and you're not really giving it much credit. I went into Patong for about an hour one night in February and got the hell out in a heartbeat. It's a huge shithole with a questionable beach. However, if you take the time (about 10 minutes) to go over to the next beach, Karon, or another 10 minutes to Kata Beach, you'll not be disappointed. There were rooms to suit all comers (we stayed at Karon Beach) as my parents found a good place for them at 1200 baht and I found a very clean guesthouse for 400 baht just around the corner (I got a hotel style room, with my own hot shower, mini fridge, two fans, clean sheet and towels daily) called the Beshert Inn. The nightlife was not crazy (that's what Patong was for) but the beach was certainly chill and the food was fantastic and not overpriced. I met some really good people there! So all I'm saying is that you can't judge the entire island by that one tourist trap!! -Dan |
| 4th March 2009 Suhail | Who can forget the 'Killing Fields' - From: The Missing Generation Lindsay and Matt: I am sure that walking in the 'Killing Fields' must have been eerie. I saw the movie long time ago and was taken aback by all the violence. I had hoped that humans learned something from this sad saga in southeast Asia. Your tips are great. This is the edu-tourism / historical tourism at its best. Very nicely reported indeed. Please keep posting. |
| 1st March 2009 Ashwith Fernandes | Life - From: The Missing Generation Hey LandM, reading your bolg... what can i say. No words as i have know of these autrocities for long. Its difficult for the other part of the world to understand torture as it is beyond imagination. So thankful that we grew up in lovely surroundings and had every opportunity to plan our own lives. You guys are really having a good time, i can see that and it has been 3 months and over since took this journey. How long more to go.... its a pleasure reading your blogs always. Love ya ash |

| 25th February 2009 Heather | - From: A Bitter Sweet Experience with the Temples of Angkor I laughed all the way through this blog. It seems Cambodia has a special way of introducing backpackers to their country...my bus experience was much of the same. As painful as it was at the time, it is now one of my best stories. You two are truly experiencing SE Asia and I love re-living it through you! Keep the blogs coming :) |

I dropped by couple of times earlier on your blogs and admire your travels. You have posted very nice reports and some excellent pictures. Thailand is definitely on our itinerary too. We hope to be there some day. When we are on the move, we forget about internet LOL. Matt and you are showing us the Way :-) |
| 18th January 2009 Heather | - From: Wokking and Walking in Northern Thailand Hey guys! Awesome entries.
