| 30th July 2007 annmariemarie | I like your perspective! - From: An El Nido Ending..... Thanks for writing down your wonderful thoughts, Wanderlust (nice pun, ei?) Not only did you write wonderfully about my beautiful country, you also shared with us the importance of having a positive outlook. I agree that "The universe will always conspire to bring positive things to us as long as we are open to receiving positive experiences..." Keep it up! Keep blogging and stay positive! |

Stuck with Sharm mindyou...love the smell of Cairo, equally the burning sugar cane as the warm breeze fights the air conditioner wilst it carries it in the open window of your room on the nile cruise...can't wait to get back. Have fun in your travels. Mike makinradiowaves@yahoo.ca |

| 18th January 2007 Sean Pewther | - From: An El Nido Ending..... Mike, Yeah interesting journey my lad. I feel you must be a bit burnt out and ready to get back to reality. Lets touch base when you get back. Be good, Pewther |
| 17th January 2007 Paula A. | What a great trip I have had with you. - From: An El Nido Ending..... Dear Michael. Please do some more writing. Your pictures are great but your descriptions of the life around you has been so inviting. You have great perspective with or without the beers. Thank you for an unforgetable journey. From one who doesn't care a lot about e-mail I was checking for you daily and have been handsomely rewarded. Hope to see you sometime son. Hugs, Paula |
| 16th January 2007 Rob | What am I gonna do now for adventures? - From: An El Nido Ending..... I think we will all agree that Mikes' blog has been one of the best written and interesting travel journals we have ever read. I know I looked forward to it several times a week as I began my day in a typical office in CA. While I look forward to seeing Mike when he gets back, I will sorely miss his adventures as they brought a unique perspective to each day. Mike, can't wait to see you when you get back...and I can't wait to hear the details of your next adventure. Rob & Cathy |
| 16th January 2007 mikel | el nido - From: An El Nido Ending..... thx for all ur blogs. i luv el nido, stayed at the resort in miniloc island. when i was there. |
| 16th January 2007 Sally Cravens | Good for you! - From: Living Island Style Kumusta ka! I am a friend of your cousin Jim, and I was born, raised and lived in the Philippines until my late teens. I grew up in Zambales province in the island of Luzon. I was in the island of Panay (for the first time) about this time in 1999 (last time I was visited). I went to Boracay and stayed a day and half there after visiting relatives in a town named Durog in Iloilo where my mom is from. Yes, the white sandy beach, the beautiful sunset, the boat ride there, the hut we rented for the night for about $25 then, the open air market, etc. What an experience for you! I tell my friends that I wish teenagers in the USA get the opportunity to travel in a developing country to see how lucky and fortunate they are over here compared to the kids over there. Enjoy the beauty of my home country. The Ati Atihan festival in Panay should be happening about now, right? Take care of yourself. |
| 12th January 2007 Jon V. | Hi - From: Simple Pleasures of Sabang Looks and sounds like an amazing place! Thank you for taking me away from here for a few minutes.

| 21st December 2006 Luigi | Lonely Planet Rocks - From: Beach time and twenty something hours in Saigon Michael, still traveling with you in spirit. Looks and sounds like you are truly enjoying the moments. Relied on the LP books many times as you simply need an edge to navigate a new locale judiciously. The pics are each worth a thousand words plus. Happy Healthy Holidays. Ciao, Luigi |
| 21st December 2006 Ben | Quiet American? - From: Beach time and twenty something hours in Saigon Hey Culture Vulture, That American would have to be none other than Jimmie. Although he would probably be called the loudest American. At least he talks Thai real well. How many Fanta's can a man drink? Sounds like Vietnam was a highlight on your trip. Hope Cambodia is all that we have heard about. Best... |

Thank you for taking me along your travels with you. I look forward to your updates! |
| 12th December 2006 Ben | Very Nice - From: Good Morning Vietnam Hey Culture Vulture. I was waiting for this portion of your trip specifically. One of the last remnants of old Asia.

As you can probably guess from the heading i'm in Vietnam now, currently Nha Trang but moving on to Hoi An tomorrow night. My plans are now to head to Ko Pha-Ngan for Christmas and New Year and then Ko Tao after that, then over to other coast. Hope we'll catch up some place, otherwise its great reading your blogs. Enjoy wherever you go next. Rachel |

Ciao, Luigi |
| 2nd December 2006 Oleg | Tannnaannnannnatnannatnnaa - From: DJ's, Tuk-Tuk's and crazy motorbike taxi rides... Hey Buddy! Great trip you're taking all of us on. As a fellow traveler I am proud. Adam and I will be on our way soon to Hong Kong, Macau, Koh Samui, and then Bangkok (mostly business of coarse) before heading back home to Las Vegas.
