| 3rd May 2008 explorer_keith | A Return to the Mayan Jungle - From: Fun With Lava My time in the Peten area was definately rushed, so I will be heading back down in the next few years to see more. I think my next trip in the region will include a river journey down the Passion and Usumacinta as far as Piedras Negras. The camera I used for that trip was a point and shoot Cannon (Power Shot A620) that had a few manual settings. |
| 3rd May 2008 erik | Tikal - From: Fun With Lava Do you know that the access to temple IV has now been rebuilt with a humongous zig zag wooden staircase over on the south side? I was there (again) April '08 I love the Mayan world and have been to Tikal a few times. You should look forward to Uaxactún and many other sites in the area. I'm told there is over a thousand registered ones, and I have only visited some 30 of them and loved every minute. Tikal, El Mirador and Nakum are my favourites. Thanks for your great photos (what camera?) and writings. Cheers Erik |

| 27th April 2008 Saurav | Lovely Post! - From: Into the Wilds of Africa Hi Kieth, For a person sitting in India, this article of yours and the wonderful photographs almost took me there...thank you... cheers Saurav www.terraunspottin.blogspot.com |
| 2nd April 2008 explorer_keith | Tom Crean - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean To me, Tom Crean is one of the greatest of the explorers from the 'Heroic Age' of Antarctic exploration, yet his is a little known name. I was unaware of the modern Tom Crean - Perhapse the name in itself leads to greatness. Could they be related? Feel free to send the link. |
| 2nd April 2008 RandLJacobson | Re: Tom Crean redux - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean Read the text. Saw the reference. I got it. If you don't mind I would like to send a link to this picture to the Milwaukee sports press. |
| 2nd April 2008 RandLJacobson | Re: Tom Crean Library - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean First of all--I just happened across your blog and I think it is extraordinary, especially this and other entries from the Southern Hemisphere. What a great opportunity you've had, and what great use you have made of it! I had to comment on the picture of the engraved stone at the Tom Crean library, because this very morning it was announced that Tom Crean, the basketball coach for Marquette University here in Milwaukee, is leaving to take the head coach position at Indiana. Tom Crean has been a major figure here, even though I suspect no one was aware of his illustrious namesake. And I just wondered--did you include this picture because you are a Marquette alumnus, or fan? Or is this Tom Crean of independent significance to you? (Since this is a spur-of-the-moment comment, it is written before I have read the entire text, and I will do so once I am done writing. If the answer is already contained therein, you needn't respond.) |

| 5th December 2007 explorer_keith | Thank you for the information! - From: On Safari in Kruger I wrote the picture descriptions a long time ago when I was in a hurry. I intended to confirm the names before I published it, but, as you can see, I forgot to. |
| 5th December 2007 lamlee | names - From: On Safari in Kruger Your turtle is a tortoise. Turtles live in the sea. The duiker is a steenbok. Duikers run completely away when you see them. Steenbok run a bit away and then stop and look at you. Bustered is spelt Bustard. In case you are intereseted, your one bird is a Burchell's Coucal and the other is a Lilac-breasted roller. |

| 6th July 2007 Your Mother | Son - You've got the saying all wrong! - From: Swimming With Fishies Son, the old saying goes, "Any day ABOVE GROUND is a good day." You had it backwards. Carry on! |
| 23rd June 2007 Ken | WOW - From: Storm Force 9! Great pictures and blog. The wave pictures are unreal and several others especially the whale one. The storm must have been a rush and a bit scary. Sounds like you could be a sailing pro now. Hope to talk soon. Love, Ken |
| 9th June 2007 lona | wow - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean my favorite so far circumsolar halo |
| 7th June 2007 explorer_keith | Wow, Son, What a beautiful place. - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean How will you ever come back to reality when you have seen such wonders! Ah, but I know you will eventually - because you don't want us to sell your stuff on E-Bay. Blessing son! Carry on. Love, Mom P. S. And South Georgia, as in "right above Florida" does pale in comparison. Currently there are many wildfires in South Georgia and a serious draught. It is more like the other place than the heavenly island you were visiting. |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Swimming Pool - From: There Goes the Sun! Wow how did you manage to swim there? You reminded me of the traditional cold swim where people have to jump in a freezing hole! |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Freezing! - From: Happy Stormy Midwinter I cant imagine how you protect your camera from cold and your images do not have any blurry/cloudy part caused by moist due to extreme cold. |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Colourful sky - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution Stunning images of the sky! Looking at these photos seem worth going! |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Ice Station - From: Farewell Antarctica You reminded me of the book written by an Australian author! |

| 10th May 2007 Sumedh | - From: A Journey Back In Time Hi Keith, Greetings from India! It's great to see you are back to writing your journal again. Fantastic pictures as always - especially loved the reflections on Paradise Harbour. I almost feel like I'm travelling with you through those weird landscapes. Keep writing... you're an inspiration :)) |
| 30th April 2007 Uncle Hud | Atlanta Immigration - From: The Journey Home I live in metro ATL, so I often go through our stellar customs, immigration, and homeland security checks at Hartsfield-Jackson. Many are indeed officious and rude, but what bothers me most is their attitude that you must prove your right to re-enter. International travel has lost all its glamour. |
| 25th April 2007 Brenda Davidson | Co-worker of your Mother - From: A Journey Back In Time Keith, we here at work have all followed your journey and prayed for your safe return. We have enjoyed seeing parts of the world with you through your eyes. What a wonderful experience and you are truly blessed to have been able to experience. We are all envious! Stay well. |

| 23rd April 2007 Your Mother | Animal Encounters - From: A Journey Back In Time Where else in the world could you see eye to eye with a whale or be mistaken for a very large penguin by a leopard seal? Amazing pictures, son. Stay safe. |
| 23rd April 2007 The Yale Family | Hi Uncle Keith - From: A Journey Back In Time Hey Keith-this is great-love the pictures-Griffin is going to take them to school and show his class where his cool uncle is. Hope you are safe and having a great time! We are with you in spirit! :-) |

| 31st March 2007 chylena | - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration great pictures I think like everyone of them! |
| 17th March 2007 Garcia | Canela, not canola - From: I Have Found Chocolate! The other ingredient in the chocolate mixture you mentioned (the one that "looks like bamboo") is canela - cinnamon - in it''s natural form (bark). Canola, the product of pressing rapeseed, is indeed oil, but has nothing to do with chocolate making. Happy cocoa to you! |
| 5th March 2007 Yathi | - From: South Along Ruta 40 You have quite a thing goin on dude! Keep it rollin. |
| 2nd March 2007 travelbuffs | I envy you! - From: To the Strait of Magellan and Beyond Keith, Your adventures are a pleasure to read. Keep traveling. Keep writing! |
