| 28th August 2009 Dianne Enkerud | WELCOME HOME - From: Dublin Wow.... I am exhausted reading of all your adventures. I am sure your mother is so very, very happy to have you back. Certainly you will have stories to tell for a long time. Thank you for including me on your blog. When you speak with Ivana tell her hello. I am thinking she is now at college and you will be starting at Evergreen. Get some well needed rest and take good care of yourself. Again, thanks for all your updates. Welcome home..... Dianne |
| 24th August 2009 Dianne Enkerud | P.S. - From: Pula/Fort Casoni Vecchi Don't know if you will be venturing into Slovenia at some point... but of interest is a place called "Postojna Jama." These are caves with stalagmites and stalactites. Very interesting. This was part of the former Yugoslavia but now is in Slovenia. Just a thought. You can ask Ivana about this. Take care.... Danica |
| 24th August 2009 Dianne Enkerud | Dobar Dan - From: Pazin Hello once again. Thanks for your updates. I found them all very interesting. I had been to both Pula and Rovinj but never to Pazin. You continue to amaze me with your travels and stories. Keep up the good work. Our Croatian relatives (of sorts) are here now in the States, leaving on the 31st of August. They are from Icici (near Opatija). Did you see Opatija? That is very beautiful also. Hope all is well with you. Best regards to Ivana and her family. Take care.... Danica |
| 12th August 2009 linda | - From: Labin I have had a great time catching up on your travels, and have loved every minute. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks, Linda |
| 30th July 2009 Dianne Enkerud | HELLO - From: Labin Thanks for the Labin update. I am now anxioius to hear your take on Pula. I really liked Pula and was so taken with the coliseum. Did you know that the picture on the CD from Il Divo was taken at Pula? Just thought I would throw that in. Travel safe.... Danica |
| 29th July 2009 Dianne Enkerud | Zdravo - From: Zadar Hello again.... loved, loved, loved all your recent entries (probably because they were all about Croatia)!! Anyway, my favorite was the one from Koprivnica. Sounded like all the folks I grew up with... eat... drink... be happy. The folks from Croatia did get their visas and will be coming sometime mid-August. We are anxious to see them. Take care. Enjoy absolutely everything.... Danica |
| 27th July 2009 anonymous | - From: Zadar love all your pictures, and I am so glad your having a good time. |
| 26th July 2009 Jessica | Authentic - From: Trakošćan Castle Ice cream and pizza, huh? Glad to hear you're having such a unique experience! :-) |

| 26th July 2009 Jessica | Walk? - From: Brasov Why didn't you just walk back to Zagreb? Slacker! |
| 25th July 2009 Dianne Enkerud | Dobar Dan - From: Brasov Hi Carter.... thanks for your blog on Brasov. As they used to say on "Laugh In"... (before your time) interesting, very interesting!! My cousin is still working on getting her relatives to the US from Croatia. The young adults, both university students, now need verification of such. Let's hope they get it all done in time to get here in August. Take care. I enjoy your blogs very much. Hello to Ivana and family.... Bog.... Danica |

| 15th July 2009 Dianne Enkerud | HELLO AGAIN - From: Bucharest Thanks for the update on your travels. You are really getting around. Good for you!! All is well in Tumwater. Weather is great. Best part of the year for us (well, you know that)!! One of my cousins is trying to get some of her family in Croatia here. It will be interesting to see if that occurs. I was sharing your experience in trying to get Ivana here. Anyway, the folks are going to Zagreb tomorrow to apply for a U.S. visa. We shall see. Take care. Hello to everyone...... Danica |
| 15th July 2009 Bruce Silverman | Bucharest - From: Bucharest I avidly follow your updates. However, where is the photo of the young women dancers in the Casino? |
| 11th July 2009 mom | - From: Varna omg carter I am so jealous what wonderful memories you are gonna have and cherish |
| 3rd July 2009 Dianne Enkerud | Dobar Dan!! - From: Sofia Hvala for the blog on Sofia!! I enjoyed it a lot. Actually, I forwarded it to my brother (Dean) who has been to Bulgaria several times on business. I thought he would be interested in your comments. Sounds like all is going well for you. What a wonderful experience you are having. Certainly this is the time of your life to be doing such. Keep up the good work!! The weather here in Tumwater is gorgeous.... sunny and hot!! This is the time of year I am reminded of how beautiful it is around here and truly forget about all the rain from October into July. Anyway, thanks again. Hello to Ivana and her family. Take care..... Hvala, Dianne (Danica) |
| 22nd June 2009 Dianne Enkerud | Hello - From: Belgrade Hello once again. Wow... that is about all I can way about your entry on Belgrade!! You have more moxie that I would have in traveling to places unknown and getting into cars with people unknown. Travel safe (guess that is the mother in me). Looks like Belgrade uses the Cyrillic alphabet like the Russians do. Very interesting. You still need to get to the Istrian Peninsula to see Opatija and Pula. Take care... Dianne |
| 22nd June 2009 Frances | Hi Carter - From: Belgrade Hi, You had me a little worried as I first started reading but glad to hear all went well. Be safe and thanks again for sharing all your interesting stories. Frances |
| 17th June 2009 Dianne Enkerud | Hvala - From: Zagreb: month one and some Hi Carter and Ivana... thanks for your updates... the Zagreb one and the Gruz one. Both were very interesting. Got a note from a cousin who just returned from her first trip to Croatia. She was astounded at its beauty and the graciousness of the people, but then I could have told her that!! Please give Ivana my regards. All is well here in little old Tumwater!! Dianne (Danica) |
| 25th May 2009 Frances | Hi - From: Me as a Zagrebian Wks, 1 and 2 Hi Carter, Glad to see you are safe and having fun. I like all the pictures keep them coming. And as always I enjoy reading your story. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Take care Frances |
| 25th May 2009 Dianne (Danica) | Hello - From: Me as a Zagrebian Wks, 1 and 2 Once again, thank you for including me in your blog. I am always interested in anything Croatia or Croatian!! I could not tell if you received my other note, but if and when Ivana gets to the US for a visit, I would love to meet her. My family in Croatia lives in and around Rijeka and in and near Bakar. Perhaps you can ask Ivana where those cities are located. Take care. Hello to everyone. Thankx again.... |
| 23rd May 2009 Dianne Enkerud | - From: Seattle to Zagreb Hello Carter.... Dobar Dan!! This is Dianne (Danica) (Franciskovic) Enkerud. Read your blog about getting to Zagreb. Wow. Hope everything else has gone well. Thanx (hvala) for putting me on your blog. Some day, when Ivana is about to travel to the US I would love to meet her. Best wishes to both of you. Enjoy Croatia. It is an absolutely beautiful country (but then I am prejudice). |

Thanks for keeping with the blog Carter, although it kinda hurts to read (because I'm a travel junkie) it is also an appetite suppressent. travel on! |
| 13th May 2009 Bruce | Great Blog! - From: Seattle to Zagreb You have captured the essence of what 25% of our foreign travel is like these days. You are becoming a seaseoned traveler! It is a miracle that you actually got your final flight. Last year we got stuck in Chicago on the way home from NYC and had to fly to Anchorage in order to get to Seattle so I could be there on time to start my on call in the morning. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! |
