| 29th May 2007 Lucy | Arun - From: An Indian Courting by Kate Hi girls, I heard about your blog long time ago and I was looking for it. I am Arun's girlfriend and I am happy not to read that he behaved like my dear Richard! It is great if you had fun, and careful! Thomas was not the reference for knowing about girls and couples!;-) |
| 31st March 2007 downwithd | - From: F.A.Q. (The End) I would like to say that there were black people in every country we went to. But there were not many. I guess it is like seeing white people too. There were not too many of them either. Just the travelers. The US has a lot of everything all at once. |
| 30th March 2007 wendi | i am crying - From: Hogar de San Francis de Asis You are both good girls. What you did was wonderful. I am signing up to volunteer RIGHT NOW!!!!! I am inspired. Beautiful pics. Get these in a book!!!!! C'mon, you know Tucker Max! |
| 30th March 2007 Wendi | black people - From: F.A.Q. (The End) Are there really no black people around the world? Also, Why didnt you both beat the crap out of that kid on Easter Island? ***hole. Puppy beating ***hole. |
| 29th March 2007 Kate | The people we met along the way. - From: F.A.Q. (The End) I would also like to add that the people we met, stayed with and had the pleasure of their company were fantastic. It is very difficult to pick a favorite but we were extremely lucky to meet such terrific people. The only thing I can say for sure is Dr. Chris was definitely the cutest. |
| 29th March 2007 anonymous | home already? - From: F.A.Q. (The End) That seemed to fly by so fast - I need more updates! When's the next trip!!?! |
| 29th March 2007 ruins_explorer | - From: F.A.Q. (The End) welcome home. I will be sad not to be getting updates anymore. Although I don't know you, I enjoyed reading about your trip - you write very funny little stories about what happens to you. |
| 24th March 2007 Brenda Nixon | Memories - From: Hogar de San Francis de Asis Kate & Moria, One more day.....and then all of it becomes memories. And I think this ending to your once-in-a-lifetime trip couldn't be more appropriate: it puts everything into perspective. I'm so glad you were there for these kids. Have a safe trip home! Brenda |
| 24th March 2007 mom | - From: Hogar de San Francis de Asis This experience should teach you how much we are loved, blessed, pampered and wasteful. Much to learn; much to share. Love, Mom |
| 23rd March 2007 dad | Blogs - From: Hogar de San Francis de Asis Kae and Moria this was the best blog so far, a picture is worth a thousand words. I am proud of both of you for doing this and not spending the end of your days on some beach. |
| 22nd March 2007 Little Boon | Catching Up - From: There and Back Again Just catching up on your journey, its been a while....I love LOTR...did you encounter any orcs or strange magic on your trip through middle earth? Cool stuff gals |
| 20th March 2007 Mickey | Too funny! - From: In Between Days Keep 'em coming, ladies! You guys seriously crack me up every single time I come to your page & read the tales of your hilarious travels. Stay safe on your last leg(s) of your journey!..Miss you! ~Mickey p.s. Hola Sarah! Stay healthy, lady!! :) |
| 17th March 2007 Lizzie | - From: The Devilīs Machine How weird, I just heard this NPR story about priests blessing cars in Mexico. Just like this post! But in Mexico! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6923788 |
| 15th March 2007 aunt peg | moria the trailblazer - From: The Salkantay Pass You have kept me worried and fascinated by your tales along the way. You are living the pages of those geography books I studied so many years ago. Stay safe, have fun, and boy, will we be happy when you get home! We miss you!!!!! Love, Aunt Peg |
| 12th March 2007 Tim O | G'day - From: The Devilīs Machine Good to hear updates on the travels! Lots of interesting places i would like to visit! those long bus trips sound like fun! i've booked my flights for the rugby world cup (France) and will have a couple of weeks in the US on the way home end of Oct/Nov so catch up with you both then (unless the travels have been extended)! the pics are good |
| 8th March 2007 Emmett | Second Blog Comment Ever - From: The Devilīs Machine I sent something to Nathaniel (Kate knows my nephew) and he never wrote back!! Anyway, I read your blog and was very impressed. Kate, if you are reading this, I will try to talk to my pals at Columbia and see what might be open there. They have a well-endowed "Peace Institute" which would be right up you alley..... Emmett |
| 3rd March 2007 dad | learning lessons - From: Moria is Offered $ for Sex Glad to hear that you are fluent in Spanish. I hope your fluency is better than your "fluent" Italian. One thing you must learn is that "use it or lose it". Adios, Lowe Dad |
| 3rd March 2007 Lucy | - From: Moria is Offered $ for Sex that is a first. Moria what happened to the ziplocks? i hope this reckless attitude towards packing hasn't disrupted your equal opportunity approach to outfits... |
| 3rd March 2007 Bernie & Iris | $30.00 U.S.D. - From: Moria is Offered $ for Sex I'm thrilled to have hooked up with you again. We left you in Queensland and Brisbane. It's been fantastic seeing the country (especially your earlier blogs) through the eyes of someone much younger than us and again realizing that one should really travell when one is much younger, more energetic and still dares to take risks. We'll read your blogs during the next couple of days and vicariously enjoy your journey. |
| 20th February 2007 downwithd | thank you, thomas - From: A Tale of Two Journeys thanks for the correct info thomas, i made the edit. just wondering who you are and how you found us or if i am dumb and know you but can't piece it together. |
| 20th February 2007 thomas | URUGUAYAN - From: A Tale of Two Journeys the argentinian rugby team tou mention, was actually uruguayan , not argentinian. good luck |
| 20th February 2007 Steve R | What Will I Do... - From: A Tale of Two Journeys ...once you're back in the states? I'll have nothing to read at work anymore. This will make me sad and bored. |
| 19th February 2007 Lizzie | is this my first comment? - From: A Tale of Two Journeys Re: that one caption: I do not have a good fashion sense, but I have always wanted to move to Sweden. Maybe John and I can work out some sort of arrangement. |
| 19th February 2007 Dave M. | you're back - From: A Tale of Two Journeys I was beginning to wonder if we'd hear from y'all again. Nice to get an update. |
| 19th February 2007 Fergus | it's unfortunate, it's ironic - From: Las Islas Bonitas It's a terrible shame when you get to travel with a hot Swedish guy and then it turns out you're a lesbian!!! |
| 12th February 2007 Someone | I must say one thing........ - From: Las Islas Bonitas I love that Robin guy from sweden he was fucking hot. Hope the rest of your trip is great, peace out yannkies |
| 11th February 2007 Donika | life changing experience - From: Las Islas Bonitas I had a dream last night that when you came back from your trip you were a lesbian. Just sharing. Stay safe. |
| 30th January 2007 young boon aka ryan | holla - From: Shrimp... err... PRAWNS on the Barbie happy new year girls, a little late, im just catching up on your adventures...send another pretty post card MO!!! |
| 30th January 2007 Maura | - From: There and Back Again Because I'm a huge nerd too I'm quite jealous of your jouney through Middle Earth. |
| 16th January 2007 Dad | Camera - From: Oh, the Places We'll Go Unless you girls want to lengthen your blog you had better get a camera. A picture is worth a thousand (1,000) words. Sounds like your Australian tour was wonderful, even though you had to stay with the vet in Sydney, I don't know how you did it. |
| 15th January 2007 PAT | Your dream - From: Oh, the Places We'll Go I know that Australia has always been your dream, and I'm happy that you got to experience it so fully. I know that the Steve Irwin memorial must have been very emotional for you. It's been all over the papers here that Bindi proclaims she, "will follow in Dad's footsteps". So time passes on and the torch is passed to a new generation. I know about the world-wide water crisis beciuse I read the book "Water" by Marq De Villiers, I recommend it to anyone concerned about the planet's future. rock on Dudes! |
| 12th January 2007 Carolyn Turney | Byron Bay - From: Rockin', Rollin' and Relaxin' You only stayed for a night I could live in Byron forever great weather beautiful views, and hot surfers. By the way have you seen any sharks yet it tiz the season to seem some massive packs |
| 10th January 2007 anonymous | injuries - From: Rockin', Rollin' and Relaxin' kate i would prefer it if you could include a picture of some part of your body with every post. don't leave us hanging... |
| 6th January 2007 Jonathan | best concert?...Really? - From: Rockin', Rollin' and Relaxin' Kate, I believe you said the Spice Girls was the "Best Concert Ever" - twice. |
| 2nd January 2007 Emma | Koalas! - From: Shrimp... err... PRAWNS on the Barbie Kate, Moria - I highly recommend the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane where I hugged a non smelly koala - try it ladies, they're so cute!!! Miss you loads Kate - can't wait for your return to Dublin(!!) - yes I'm just trying to annoy Amanda but I don't see why she gets you back after this adventure and not me!!! Happy New Year and happy travelling!! |
| 2nd January 2007 tess | yeah presents! - From: Shrimp... err... PRAWNS on the Barbie thanks for the package ketty. It really perked up the kid and we loved it all. miss you loads. sounds pretty swell. Hope we see you playing some aussie rules next.... xoxoxo |
| 1st January 2007 wendison | Silverchair? - From: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi Oy. They are sooooo 199_. Who even remembers. |
| 1st January 2007 wendison | koalas - From: Shrimp... err... PRAWNS on the Barbie What exactly DO they smell like? Garbage? Rotting flesh? Do tell. |
| 31st December 2006 Amanda | Tomorrow's a good one - From: Shrimp... err... PRAWNS on the Barbie Ahh gals...the fine tunes of silverchair bring me back to the days of braces and not using hair products...I'm sure you willl have a lovely time; however, beware! Do not eat in front of Daniel Johns as he might have an anorexic relapse MK style. Poor thing..nevertheless I think his tortured soul will put on an excellent performance and you will ring in the new year right. New years resolution ideas: no street meat, do not get drunk while exploring caves in Asia, learn hospital lingo in ALL languages, NEVER LEAVE YOU GOOD PAL FOR 2 YEARS STRAIGHT!!!! (I think the last one is a good one!) Love you lots, Happy New Year! |
| 31st December 2006 Emily Z | Koalas - From: Shrimp... err... PRAWNS on the Barbie Be careful ladies -- my friend held a koala while she was in Austrailia and it went to the bathroon on her!! Hope you have a very happy new year!!! See you in 2007!!! |
| 27th December 2006 Amanda | Santa Boots? - From: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi Kettle-if you woudl please relay to Alex that my disappointment in not seeing one photgraph with him in his Santa boots is totally and utterly overwhelming. I mean I thought that Christmas meant somethign to him!?! I guess I was wrong and those poor boots, just strewn in the garbage like poo....totally unacceptable! Chirstmas brought me a fabulous new chefs knife and a couple of sassy dresses....all i need now is to drop 30-45 pounds and I will be able to wear them. Dropping lbs and getting a new chefs knife...hmmm not a good combo. tanti baci e buon natale |
| 27th December 2006 Donika | complaints - From: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi Two things: Moria, I believe this blog was your idea, and yet you seem to have shirked most responsibilities to Kate. Thank god she's interesting. Second, Kate, who is the celebrity vet? Why was meeting him not detailed in the write-up? That is all. Travel safely, ladies. |

Missing you lots and thinking of you. Hope to talk soon. xooxoxoxoxoxoxoxxpxpxp T&C |
| 21st December 2006 Little Boon | Amazing - From: Trekking, Prostitutes and Paradise You girls sound like you are having a time...the picture of teh Bungalows is amazing, i think that is so cool that you get to stay places like that....Its like something out of that move The Beach....and you have to understand that prostitution is a crazy business in these places...not that i would know anything about that....anyway...amazing stories and amazing pics....good luck with the rest of your journey, keep the good stuff comming.... |
| 17th December 2006 Elsie Kerns | I love it! - From: Trekking, Prostitutes and Paradise Kate and Moria, I love hearing about your travels ... it makes life back here seem rather dull! You are so brave - blessings ... love Elsie |
| 16th December 2006 Dad | Hulla Baby - From: Trekking, Prostitutes and Paradise Your story of the little boy getting into the show remnds me of a little Hulla, Hulla Baby, where the whole line was out of sync, OH how we forget! |

| 12th December 2006 john | pictures - From: Two at a time did you take pictures of the villages and rice paddies or was there a vibe that doing so would be quasi-disrespectful? |
| 12th December 2006 Sarah | SE Asian Men - From: Two at a time See....I was onto something with my love of brown men. *Sigh* |
| 7th December 2006 wendison | A Laotian man - From: Two at a time Please bring me one. I don't care if he speaks English. I just want him to hold me. |
| 5th December 2006 Brenda Nixon | - From: Beerlao + Kate = Sloppy Drunk Ahhh, Kate....I am SO enjoying reading yours & Moria's blog. It makes me laugh out loud, and I am in awe of your adventurous spirit. And it makes me jealous!!! Continue writing, enjoying, and soaking up the experience. And then visit me when you come home so I can hear even more!! Brenda |
| 2nd December 2006 Bridget | under eye bag cure - From: A Ha Noi Thanksgiving Try Preparation H or any other hemorrhoid cream under your eyes. The anti-inflamatory aspect helps minimize puffy eyes. I swear! I love how the first time I comment, it's about ass cream. |
| 2nd December 2006 Amanda and the Sir | WOW! - From: Beerlao + Kate = Sloppy Drunk do we miss that sexy piece of ass!!! miss you kettle...lets get more of the pretty face then the sweet bum next time..i mean that shoudl be reserved for the special ones...no one will go buying the cow if your giving the milk a away for free...didn't your mother teach you anything..im calling perez hilton immediately...your political career is OVER!!! t minue one million days!!!! get home..i am really having a hoot with the stories though...really swell |
| 1st December 2006 john | love the pix - From: Beerlao + Kate = Sloppy Drunk more girls gone wild. more cameltoe. |
| 1st December 2006 tess | - From: Beerlao + Kate = Sloppy Drunk I'm sorry but I'm confused.... Are you in Laos or in college? And if you are in college, what is the name of this school because I am applying. Hands down this is your best entry yet. Ketty, I most likely could have done withouth the shot of your undercarriage but hey, it really added to the story. Laos seems like the place to be. I'm moving, NYC sucks. More kayaking! More stories about Kate doing jazz splits! xoxo |
| 28th November 2006 anonymous | broken - From: On to the fifth country of our travels... I'm pretty sure Mr. McCain would say that both of his legs were broken and he was so incapacitated that he could only communicate by blinking. So regardless of the thread count on the sheets, I don't think he'd rate the Hanoi Hilton 5 stars. |
| 28th November 2006 anonymous | arguements for art - From: On to the fifth country of our travels... why am i not surprised you two got into a fight in an art museum? lol. I can picture exactly how it went down. Sounds great girls. Kate-- Sept 22, 2007. Concordia Saggitaria. Be there. Don't wear white. It's set. xoxoxo tess |
| 28th November 2006 anonymous | I said it before... - From: On to the fifth country of our travels... I'll say it again--enjoy the recreational drugs while you can. And thanks for the comment on my blog, heart lady. |
| 28th November 2006 anonymous | Hey girls, - From: On to the fifth country of our travels... I just wanted to write a quick note to say I've been enjoying reading about your travels! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving in Asia. Kate, my parents truly enjoyed your postcard about your dysentery and how you had it coming out both ends. Looking forward to reading more. Take care of yourselves! Moria, be witty. |
| 26th November 2006 Wendison | the gassy man - From: A Ha Noi Thanksgiving It is unfortunate you didn't have the giant incense cones on the bus with the farty man. Farts are unnaceptable. |
| 26th November 2006 Dr. Fergus (MD) | Bags under the eyes??!! - From: A Ha Noi Thanksgiving I recommend a brief halt in your regular hospitalizations, everyone knows that hospitalization is draining on the system, can cause stress and results in chronic baggy eye syndrome - that's a medical FACT!! So merely avoid indulging your love of sampling Asian hospitals over the next few weeks and your problems should clear right up!! |
| 25th November 2006 dad | Bags under the eyes - From: A Ha Noi Thanksgiving Kate I think the only cure for the bags, when you are 26, is to get some sleep. The more sleep the less bags. I think they are inversely proportional; the mkore sleep the smaller the bags. Love Dad |
| 21st November 2006 Ryan Egnaczyk | Great - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Glad to see you girls are doing better.....Moria, my address is 156 Grandview Road Ardmore, PA 19003 so jelous of you, hope you all have a great rest of the trip, send me lots of postcards -little boon |
| 19th November 2006 fashion editor | those gorgeous khaki pants (trousers) - From: We are in love. i have had a look through the photos on your blog and must say they are fantastic. i particularly like those of moria (maria?) in her khaki pants and blue shirt though i must say she seems to prefer her blue trousers and pink shirt. just wanted to ask if she is giving all her clothes an equal opportunity for their chance in the sun/blog?? also there is a rather unflattering photo of someone looking at the sunset in udaipur - i think whimsical may be the wrong word... |
| 19th November 2006 L | - From: We are in love. glad to see you're stil rocking the crocs Moria! |
| 18th November 2006 Rox | you rox - From: We are in love. Awesome Awesome !!! You are open-minded and take whatever comes your way. That is the legendary spirit of a traveller ! I admire your perspectives. Enjoy yourselves ...You rox ! Rok me babe.................... |
| 18th November 2006 Donika | - From: We are in love. PS-- So much about this blog made me laugh. I'll make a writer of you yet, little one. Glad also that no one was sick on this trip. |
| 18th November 2006 Donika | someone bring momo home - From: We are in love. I MISS YOU! I had a dream the other night that I went home for the weekend, and you were there. I was so psyched to see you, but disappointed in your reasons for giving up on the trip. In my waking hours, I'd still be disappointed, but probably even more psyched to see you than I was in the dream. Also, both of you are kicking ass at this blog. Thanks so much for taking the time to do it. |
| 18th November 2006 john | mo, your sunglasses - From: We are in love. are way too cool not to be wearing in EVERY photo. |
| 17th November 2006 wendison | beeyoootiful - From: We are in love. 'Nam is gorgeous. Wish there more pics of the beach. I am very jealous. You both must have killer tans. Hey, are there any Jews over there???? |
| 17th November 2006 Kate Hildebrand | Great blog! - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly I agree with what you had to say about Vietnam and HCMC. Have a great rest of your trip! |
| 16th November 2006 Mary | I love your trip! - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Mo-Mo- The pretty postcard you sent mentioned your blog. I didn't know it existed before that! So, I found it & love it! Your pictures rock. Move over craigslist- your blog is my new internet habit. BTW- if you seach google for "Moria travel" some super geeky LOTR stuff shows up. :) Mary |
| 12th November 2006 Wendison | Agent Orange - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Any way you can bring back some of that Agent Orange???? i'm looking for some interesting holiday gifts!!!!! |
| 12th November 2006 stacy | - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly I am with you Kate - teats are disgusting, that's why people wearing nursing bras. Maybe they can invent one for dogs..... |
| 10th November 2006 Cousin Nick Falciani | Enjoying the Journals! - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Hi Moria: It's cousin Nick. All of your stories are fascinating. I'm loving "Pseudo" travelling with you! Looking forward to the next entry. Safe Journey!! Love, Cousin Nick |
| 10th November 2006 DAD | FUTURE HUSBAND - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly I HOPE JOHN IS MORIA'S FUTURE HUSBAND |
| 10th November 2006 tess | lovin' the education - From: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly yeah for first hand knowledge of the world!! thanks for sharing all of that. as much fun as you're having, your dialogue about the world around us is so important in helping others open their eyes to what we are never taught and might never see but will now possibly pick up a book and learn. Miss you, Kate. |
| 9th November 2006 Virginia | - From: Angie, Maddox, Kate and Mo Keep the postcards coming Kate....Im counting down til you are in papeyete--are you gonna go to bora bora & moorea? 10 more months til im there! safe travels ladies! |

| 6th November 2006 Emma | Lucy's Pic - From: Farewell to India Love the pic of Luce!! It's a classic!! Definitely one for the family album....if possible I'll have it framed and waiting on the mantle piece at 1 Wes when she arrives back! |
| 5th November 2006 Bernie& Iris | Response to FAQs - From: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Thanks for the quick response. We just read your FAQs and thought we would comment before we read the rest of your blog. Two things: 1. Let us know which places you will be travelling to and if we have any friends/acquaintances etc in any of these places, we will let them know and who knows, they may allow you to sleep on their floors for $5.00 Canadian Dollars or less (real deal since your buck is worth more than ours). If you told us of the places you were travelling to, our apologies for having forgotten so soon. I, Bernie was probably thinking about some question to ask while you were telling us about the places you were planning to see OR I just plain forgot. My short term memory is getting worse all the time but at my age, I'm entitled to forget things. Old age does have certain perogatives, I think. 2. We loved your witty Qs and As. Is the phrase "Cheapness trumps girliness" copyright? If so, do we have your permission to use the phrase as approriate? We promise to use it only in Canada and to always cite the source. P.S. This email is being sent from Koh Phangan on November 5, 2006, which just happens to be a full moon. We came to Koh P this am and plan to leave on the 1:00 a.m. ferry-the first ferry that leaves after 16:30 hours, which of course is to early to leave since the Moon Party only starts at about 19:00 or 20:00 hours. We are really noticeable since the mean age seems to be 28.5 years. All of the young people are very nice and pleasant to us. As Moria said in her FAQs, there are some things which one has to experience before it's too late. We may never have the chance to experience a Full-Moon party on Phangan again. It's 6:00 pm and we are catching up on our emails (and will be reading your trip comments) while waiting for the FM Party to start. |
| 30th October 2006 Fergus | - From: Kickin' it with Iris and Bernie E-coli........I remember that little fecker well. Mine was of the Ecuadorian persuasion, but I'm sure the effect is pretty similar!!! Just remember, you’re not a real traveller till you’ve had e-coli and if you can catch yourself a dose of malaria you’ll really be on the road to veteran status!! |
| 30th October 2006 Tess | Flagyl - From: Kickin' it with Iris and Bernie Kate: If the cipro doesn't work after a week, then you will have to start a course of Flagyl or Metronidazole. Not sure if you brought it with you. Ugh, what a nightmare with the belly problems. Hope you girls just get to a beach and relax and can swim in some nice, clean, pretty water. XOXO TB |
| 30th October 2006 Betty Hollway | Green with Envy - From: Kickin' it with Iris and Bernie Kate: I am so jealous of this wonderful journey that you and your friends are on. It sounds like the trip of a lifetime -- dysentery and all. Stay safe, have fun and I will await the next blog with such joy. Luckily, your Dad sent me the first one and now I'm hooked!! Keep them coming. Betty |
| 30th October 2006 Amanda | Beware of horrible people in "budget accomodations" - From: Kickin' it with Iris and Bernie Ket-Can we please not forget the horrible experience in Amsterdam with me and my dysentary and the uber wierd eastern euro girls with their mattresses on teh floor. Anywhere but a nice private hut on the beach or a four seasons is totally unacceptable. Now get yourself to a nice hotel and have a proper cocktail...it'll fix you up in no time flat! miss you so, dear friend! |
| 30th October 2006 Kimberly | - From: Kickin' it with Iris and Bernie Kate This sonds like quite a trip. Are you having fun?? |
| 29th October 2006 Guri | Too bad to hear that you were all sick. - From: What Not to Do in India Hi, I was just in Varkala in July and I enjoyed my stay. The small town atmosphere was really welcoming. Less Tourist and good food. I did not swim in the water as it was raining and the tides were high. Do checkout my small blog www.lostdesi.com Cheers Guri |

That's right, Heidi finally hooked me up with your blog address that I lost twice. My bad. Now the RSS link is on my google homepage so I'll always be in the know. Miss you, Moria! |
| 10th October 2006 Bob Farnan | Nakedness - From: An Indian Courting by Kate Kettie- I applaud your effort to remain clothed infront of these mighty sketchy people you've befriended. Please continue to do so. |

| 7th October 2006 karen kenna | Back Waters - From: An Indian Courting by Kate Dear All, As pretty as it is and as much as you may want to DO NOT swim in the water in the Back Waters; save your swimming for the beach. Kerala's pretty laid back, so take the time (if you can) to rest and get your strength back. P.S. - Do you take a dose of pepto bismal every morning? It helps. P.P.S. -Be sure to visit the beach at night to see the phosphorecense in the waves. Amazing!! --K.K. in hotlanta |
| 3rd October 2006 Ryan | Making me think - From: Dysentery: 3, Us: 0 (by Moria) your post is making me wonder if I ever want to go to Inida...Is the ratio of bad stuff worth the good stuff? Very interesting though, I enjoy the reading at work.....while doing nothing... |
| 3rd October 2006 Ryan | Sorry - From: Bye Bye Glad we got to spend some time together and talk before you left, i had some nice things to write for you on J&C.com but now its too late. So I say farwell a little late but with the best intentions....I will comment as much as I can on your posts, and good luck.....Have fun and be safe!!!!!! -Ryan |
| 2nd October 2006 Amanda | Right on! - From: Indian Hospitality at its Finest by Kate That's what I'm talkign about Kettle! Sounds just wonderful...really wonderful. I'm so glad you are havign such a nice time and finding some good souls along the way. Now hurry up and get your culture in because I miss you! I can cook a pretty good meal too in NYC ;o) |
| 28th September 2006 Wendison | the animals - From: Dysentery: 3, Us: 0 (by Moria) I am saddest about the animals. I will never go to Inja now! Poor cows. They'd probably rather be eaten that have their ribs show. |
| 28th September 2006 Zach | Um... where's the dysentery? - From: Dysentery: 3, Us: 0 (by Moria) The title promised dysentery. I want dysentery! Or at least some mild nausea. Where's that part of your story??? Who cares about skinny donkeys. I want to know what you ate, and what it did to you! Make with the D!!!! |
| 28th September 2006 Carolyn | Wear a Scarf or hat around your Head - From: The First Taste of Dysentery Geez Kate don't touch the dogs then you will get sick and you won't be able to send us tales of your adventures |
| 25th September 2006 a concerned friend | dogs are your friend - From: The First Taste of Dysentery hey Kate, don't listen to the nay-sayers, dogs are your friends, and so are camels, elephants and all other members of the animal kingdom, feel free to pet, hug and kiss all of gods creatures. Except of course for the damned cows, kill them on site!! DO IT |
| 25th September 2006 Tess | RABIES KILLS! - From: The First Taste of Dysentery I see you're ignoring my #1 piece of advice already, Ketty. In case you forgot what I said, Rabies is 100% lethal. That means if you get bit or you contract it from an animal's perspiration, YOU WILL DIE. Please do not laugh that off as I'm extremely interested in your future travels. Stay away from the dogs and monkeys. Check the CDC website if you don't believe me. Thik hain? Thik hain. OK. Sounds great so far! Love you. Can't wait to see your reaction to Jaipur! xox Tess |
| 25th September 2006 Jeanne | Wish I were there... - From: The First Taste of Dysentery Hey,back in the big smoke of Kerry, good fun, but would far rather be there with you right now, rather than here trying to decide what to do next! Poor Lucy, how's she doing?Tell her I said hi, I'll email soon xxx |
| 24th September 2006 mom | - From: The First Taste of Dysentery So happy to hear that you arrived safely; it had to be quite an eye opener. Please do not be so anxious to test your invincibility with animals of all kinds. Freedom to do as you please is a rare commodity. Sorry to hear about your bag; rolling luggage is also a possibility if that is all that is available -- though the crowded conditions may curtail it. Thank Moiria for being so organized for me; it gives me great comfort. |
| 23rd September 2006 stephanie | oops - From: The First Taste of Dysentery hi, i should have specified... only second class AC if you are traveling over night.. otherwise take the cattle car. good luck with those intestines. yikes. no fun. |
| 22nd September 2006 allyson | excedrin pm - From: We've arrived sorry to hear that your flight(s) were crappy. it sucks to have to resort to taking pills, but sometimes it's needed. i say take either 2 excedrin pm or 2 benadryl and that should knock you out for a decent plane ride. can't wait to see some pictures! lame question, but how's the weather? xoxo allyson |
| 21st September 2006 Matty | blog is not sucky - From: We've arrived Great first India post. I need photos of these kids though. |

| 17th September 2006 Matty G | Tech Wear - From: Bye Bye Hey darlin. Don't worry, you have built up a crazy amount of style points over the past couple years. Having to resort to tech wear attire for functionality is always a pity apearance-wise, but you'll be really happy when you haven't taken a shower for eight days and you're trying to hike through a monsoon. God speed! |
| 15th August 2006 Onnie | do it while you can! - From: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS My mom and your mom may be pooping their pants with worry, but I say more power to you, Ri! I think it's awesome that your embarking on this journey...you have to do it while you can. Travel the world and experience all that you can. And like you said in your blog (which had me laughing out loud at parts!) your children will delight in hearing of your tales! I wish you the best of luck and we'll be waiting for your safe return. Definitely include me in any of you e-mails that tell of your travels. I love you and will miss you, little cuz! |
| 8th August 2006 aunt peg | my nerves are shot - From: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS oh moria....i read this blog, hoping it would make me feel better. however, my nerves are still shot thinking about my sweet niece trotting around the world with all the dangers and creepy, evil people out there. dysentery is the least of the worries! my sister will be beside herself. all of those fears you mention....multiply them by a thousand and you will know what pat and i feel - my poor sister, how will she sleep at night???????????? |
