| 2nd September 2008 Cheryl Stayt | Final Blog - From: All Good Things Must Come To An End Just read your blogging "swan song"! A great way to say "goodbye" to your big adventure - made me come over all teary and emotional!! |
| 25th August 2008 chris Underwood | Welcome Back - From: All Good Things Must Come To An End Daniel and Janice, Thanks for sharing this hurculean experience. You were part of my inspiration to take the family to Ireland for 2 weeks this summer even though my kids had never been on a airplane outside of California! And it was an amazing trip for all of us. Cheers |
| 25th August 2008 Mark Steffensen | Welcome Back - From: All Good Things Must Come To An End Welcome back Daniel and Janice! I'm a bit cautious about asking the "How did it go?" question for fear of opening a huge can of worms but I'll just order another round of beers and listen. |
| 24th August 2008 Al Palmieri | Glad to see you both arrived safe at home! - From: All Good Things Must Come To An End Daniel, It was a real pleasue to take this journey with you, albiet by the journal entires. What an eye opener to what we all are missing. Best regards - Al |
| 29th July 2008 Ed Sparkes | Sounds Good - From: Bridges and Castles Your blog reads like an epic! Cant wait to see your turkey entries. Syria is awesome, we all prefer it to Turkey, guide is fantastic and people are genuinely friendly (not just after your money). We miss you guys though, certainly isnt as much beer flowing anymore. Went to Crac des Chavaliers today, you'd have loved it. xxEd/. |
| 24th July 2008 Amy | Vlad the bad - From: Stomping Ground of the Count Hey Janice and Dan, You must be just about home now. What a journey you guys have had. If you were into learning about Vlad Dracula there is a novel I read on my trip (think I picked it up in the Singapore airport) called "The Historian". Really interesting combo of history and fiction. Most of the history is about Dracula and how he was connected to the Ottoman empire and many other places in Europe - France, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. A good read especially if you are familiar with some of the places I would imagine. ciao, Amy |
| 23rd July 2008 Craig Goldsmith | Fantastic stuff - From: The Ultimate Irony - Communism in the Birthplace of Democracy Love the Photos and the commentary Dan, I really like so many of your shots but particularly the old woman and the little dog. The view is amazing, and fancy the communist party that's a trip. Where are you at the moment, and how long do you have left of your trip ? |
| 25th June 2008 Mark Ayre | 'Ahh The beared one' - From: Last Days in Asia ...Hey Dan, glad the mask got some recognition. Not a masterpiece but certainly a memento I will keep too!! Your Blog has been very helpful as I shall plagiarize beyond all belief, and use our shared memories; to describe the fun to all the people I speak with. (Joke Ha-ha) Fantastic Pictures as well. When you get time could you send me a message to my hotmail, as I unfortunately have no contacts and would like to see how the Great Indo-chine loopers are getting on! ....Even Carol, who after a month of hassel may want to murder me! Happy Travels WW Wanderers. |
| 7th June 2008 Beauty & The Beards (Maria & David) | Memories - From: History, Horror and Hope......a journey through Cambodia This brings back great memories of our trip to Cambodia a couple years ago, we feel like we're back there all over again. Fantastic ! |
| 4th June 2008 Allan | Great pictures - From: History, Horror and Hope......a journey through Cambodia I LOVE your pictures of Angkor Wat! Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to view the sunrise or sunset there, but your pictures are showing me what I missed! I guess I'll need to plan another trip back there! |
| 4th June 2008 Craig | Wow - From: History, Horror and Hope......a journey through Cambodia Another great post Dan, really impressed by the photographs, awesome stuff. |
| 3rd June 2008 Will Elston | Respect for history - - From: History, Horror and Hope......a journey through Cambodia My goodness what an incredible historic and cultural this area delivered. WOW! Very scary to think the power that leaders have over population. I am so please to hear you both are still of good health and carrying on adventuring the world........nothing in the business world has unfolded that would replace this trip....outstanding. Well done. Vancouver is still trying to shake away the raining winter spring......i must dig deep for patience....i think i am destined to live in a warmer dryer climate further south. Take care of each other and keep those updates coming i really enjoy them. Best. Will |
| 27th May 2008 Allan | Thank you for the entry! - From: Vietnam....a journey of discovery I love reading your entries and this one in particular as I visited many of the spots you did.

| 11th May 2008 Dad | Smaller elephants - From: Chitwan National Park As you are in Italy writing this account I trust you will discover there were miniature elephants (well documented in fossils) in that part of Europe as well as woolly mammoths. You must be having a full experience enjoying the wine and food in those parts to be so far behind in your travelogue. But your audience can wait. Keep on enjoying yourselves. |

| 19th February 2008 Craig Goldsmith | Awesome - From: The Inca Trial.....I mean Trail Hey Dan, Truly inspiring stuff, I wanted to go before, but now I think I won't be satisfied until I've done it myself (mind you a years worth of training and loosing 20-30kg might not hurt). Compared to other hikes, how does this rate physically ? The toughtest you've ever done, does it make Sinai look like a walk in the park ? Certainly looks and sounds gruelling, but absolutely worth it. Cheers, Craig |
| 19th February 2008 Graham Sowden | Fishawi's - From: 5,000 Years in the Making I had tea at Fishawi's 20 years ago, is my name still carved in the table?
