| 21st August 2008 Julia | Loved your great adventure - From: Hippie Life in GOA You should make this a 200 page book! It would certainly publish!

I am working on a film about an an American rock star backpacking through India.. Your adventure gave me some good insight! Please drop me a line sometime! Maybe you'll get your Bollywood chance! Julia |

| 6th March 2008 Marissa | Hippie - From: Hippie Life in GOA OMG you are back the day after tomorrow! Exciting! We will have story session for sure!!! Even though we all "know" your adventures so far because of this blog..stories are always better in person when the person is explaining with hand motions and voices and facial expressions lol!!! Although I know I am abnormally animated for a human being (but not too much for a cartoon character) which is why I feel that facial expressions and body language makes a story even better, I know that you know how to get animated and tell a great story so I am excited! Ok I am rambling...anyway British guys can be hilarious! I dont know about this dreadlock talk lol but you never know maybe it will be a good look for you lol! But for now I think you should start with something smaller..like BANGS lol jk! Anyway cant wait till you are back! Have a safe flight and see you soon! Love ya! |

| 3rd March 2008 Marissa | Wow! - From: The Ghats OMG the cremation stuff is a little creepy! But it all sounds so fascinating! Although I think I would get really cranky, snappy if people kept pushing themselves on me lol! The Monkey temple sounds so amazing and fun!!!! And the Golden Temple very interesting! I seriously cant wait for pictures=) |
| 28th February 2008 Marissa | Ooops - From: In awe of Varkala.. Haha oops forgot to fill out the top of the last message (about going to Greece this summer, awesome that you are meeting foreigners, and the tragedy of untreated cleft palates!) but it was from me.. |
| 28th February 2008 anonymous | - From: In awe of Varkala.. Yes Greece this summer! And that is great that you have a contact person for us all haha! That is really great about all the travelers that you are meeting along the way! I think that is one great way to bond with strangers..to know that you are all in a foreing country and do not presonally know many people in the area! Sounds like you are really getting along with a lot of people..I am very glad about that! And I am excited to read about the North (and your train ride)! Have fun and be safe! Miss you! P.S. Oooo cleft palates are very intense/sad if they havent been treated! I have NEVER seen anyone with Leprosy but that must have been very sad too! |
| 28th February 2008 Marissa | Ew! - From: Blissful Wednesday morning OMG I am sure you knew as you were writing this that I would FREAK out about the pedicure to facial thing!!!!! Ahhhhhh my biggest fear realized lol!!! Good Jacki for saying no lol! Anyway, interestingly enough my second biggest fear is dirty dishes haha! But when I am traveling I become a different person..down and dirty=) I am soooo jealous about the cooking class!! I cant wait till you teach me how to make each of those dishes!!!! Yummm! Well miss you and cant wait to read about your next adventure! Hopefully in the North =D Luv ya! |
| 28th February 2008 ramesh | Love your blog - From: In awe of Varkala.. dear friend i love your blog as it comes out naturally. Ramesh getIndiaVacation.com |
| 28th February 2008 Olivia | Jackie's Vacation - From: Nomadic life.. Its great to hear from you so far away and for you to share your travel experiences I admire you! |
| 28th February 2008 JOSSY | jacki - From: Nomadic life.. i would pee in my pants if i saw a dead body floating around in a river. =/ |
| 27th February 2008 kevin | Everyday fruit smoothies- 2 words - magic bullet. - From: Blissful Wednesday morning Pedicure to a facial!? Haha, I could only imagine..... her using the same pick for your toe jams to pop your face pimples! So you are not planning on going to north India? I was under the impression you would travel the entire country, which i figured should leave you quite busy since the India is not exactly a small country. But I interpreted from a bit of this post that you would not be traveling throughout. I had imaged you would be running through the busy towns of India, shop through the street markets, ride on cattle, travel by man-pulled-cart, dance with snake charmers, and wander through wilderness. And I've heard that Rekhie massage is supposed to be a very intense energy/aura type of deal, and a true Rekhie master could give you such an intense/emotional/body high feeling without even touching you. At least thats what I hear, supposedly only very few have this ability. So go find yourself one highly accredited through the talks of the town. |
| 25th February 2008 sammy | you - From: Nomadic life.. I am soooooo in wow by you going on this trip. Have fun. |
| 25th February 2008 Kevin | - From: Nomadic life.. You need to post pictures with these stories too! |
| 24th February 2008 shine varghese | thekkady - From: Up high in Thekkady The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary A haven for rare and indigenous tropical flora & fauna, this Wildlife Sanctuary, nestled in the Southern Western Ghats of Peninsular india, offers an exotic holiday experience to the nature-lover. The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, one of India's biggest wild life sanctuaries, is a Tiger Reserve covering an area of 777 sq-km. It's centrepiece, the man-made Periyar Lake at a height of 2000 ft. covers an area of 26 sq.km. Wildlife in the sanctuary include Elephants, Sambar Deer, Wild Boar, Nilgri Langur, monkeys, Bonnet and Lion-Tailed Macaques, Porcupine, the Gaur, Mouse Deer, bears, wild dogs, civets jackals, flying squirrels, mongoose, pangolin cobra and many others species of wild aminmals. Periyar is located at Thekkadi, Idukki district. The Thekkady Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1993. It is located at 9deg 15min and 9deg 40min North latitude and 76deg 55min and 77deg 25min East longitude. At an altitude varying from 900m to 1800m sea level, the climate is pleasant with temperatures ranging from a maximum of 32deg Celsius to a minimum of 15deg Celsius. Forest Areas cover about 777 Sq.Km and Evergreen Forests extends up to 360 Sq.Km. Periyar Wildlife Park is one of India's most enjoyable and intriguing national parks. It is certainly one of the country's largest and the best administered, and is the veritable home of the Indian elephant. In addition, it offers the most luxurious way of viewing animals in their natural environment - you just need to relax in the comfort of a motor launch and the panorama of the park unfolds as you glide across the placid waters of Periyar Lake. The best time to visit Periyar is between October and May. The hot months of March, April and May are the best times to sight wild animals. Scarcity of water brings the animals , especially the herds of elephants, down to the Periyar lake to bath and frolic in the waters. www.mountsinai.co.in The Periyar Lake The most convenient way to view wildlife is to take a boat cruise on the lake, the only means of transport within the sanctuary. Boat cruises on the lake take two hours. The morning and evening boat rides usually provide the best chance of viewing animals before they retreat into the jungle. www.mountsinai.co.in The Flora Periyar is a luxuriantly vegetated tract, 75% of which is covered with evergreen and semi-evergreen forests. Moist deciduous forests, grasslands and to a small extent Eucalyptus Plantations make up the rest of the area. Sporadic patches of 'sholas', which are sub tropical mountain forests, occupy the crest and crevices of high altitude tracts, while clusters of bamboo occur along water logged areas. www.mountsinai.co.in FOR HOTEL STAY hotel Mount Sinai, provide neat bedrooms at budgeted rates and services to enrich your Eco-Holiday with quality that is vital to your valuable time. Situated in the heart of Kumily-the spice town of India, in walking distance to Thekkady, a tourist home that offers the opportunity to be amidst the spice dealers and an unparalleled opportunity to savour the mystic sensation of the evergreen rainforests that straddles the tiny state of Kerala on the South-Western tip of the Indian Peninsula. Situated 2800 feet above MSL, the climate is pleasantly cool throughout the year and the unpolluted mountain air is truly invigorating. www.mountsinai.co.in Sandwiched between the mighty Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Kerala is an amazingly stunning and bountiful strip of land and many a ship has set sail in search of the veritable gold mine of spices grown in the upper reaches of her forests, since time immemorial. www.mountsinai.co.in Thekkady has all the breath-taking spectacular serene views Kerala possesses. The stimulating aroma of spices, the flight of a flock of wild geese in perfect formation, the mating call of a bull-elephant, the endless humming of the crickets, the honey-dewed wild flowering trees, the frolicking of baboons and the twinkling of the fireflies at night, are a few of the smells, sights and sounds that are mesmerising. Bounded by evergreen flora and dotted with tall shady trees entwined with pepper vines, this exotic destination is a birdwatcher's delight (over 60 different feathered birds frequent the locale) and their constant chirping perfectly compliments the peace and tranquility that makes this the ideal getaway to rediscover oneself amidst Mother Nature, at her pristine best. www.mountsinai.co.in |
