| 12th March 2006 Unpaidbill | Love Mexico too - From: The Canyon and the Colonial Heartland Agree with yor impressions of the scary railway. The road down to Batopilas is even better, if you get the chance. Also, Mazetlan and Zacatecas my 2 favouritest paces in Mexico. I'm further south now but on the way back. www.travelblg.org/bloggers/unpaidbill |
| 11th March 2006 Nancy Lively | Thank you so much - From: The Canyon and the Colonial Heartland We are bloggers too and were on our way to add something to our blog about Prague. We stopped and read your entry about the Copper Canyon (a place we hope to visit some day). You write beautifully! Your pictures are quite amazing too. I really enjoyed your whole entry and think I will try to follow your adventures. Thanks for a REALLY pleasant 'read'. |
| 2nd March 2006 Dominique | Met? - From: McMurdo Station Hi Keith, I might have met you while at McMurdo. I was there from Win Fly to part of Main Body and worked with a marine biology dive group. Where are you from? Wanted to let you know I read a page of your jounal. Nice Job. |
| 28th February 2006 Liz | Vine snake - From: Into the Copper Canyon Hey Keith, I’m glad you are having fun. The snake you fond is a vine snake and they are mildly venomous. So it was probably a good idea not to handle it. Take Care, Liz |
| 27th February 2006 KenL | Pancho Villas - From: Into the Copper Canyon Great blog. Cool that you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house looks like a place YOU could reside. Sounds like the horse was over the top and scary but when you look back it will seem like a great adventure. Appears you are having a blast. Stay in touch and be SAFE. |
| 27th February 2006 KenL | Pancho Villa - From: Into the Copper Canyon Great blog. Cool.... you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house loooks like something YOU could handle living in. The horse sounds like it may have been a little over the top and a little scary but when you look back it will seem a great adventure. Better brush up on your comment allez vous. Stay in touch and SAFE travel. |
| 27th February 2006 Kathy | Smart move on the snake, Son. - From: Into the Copper Canyon You should show your picture to one of the locals to see if they can identify the snake. He should have a name. I looked up snakes indigenous to the area but this snake looks small in the picture and the only thing I found that looked similar was a type of Boa. |
| 14th February 2006 Eggs on Legs | Kepler Track - From: Fiordland Cruising I think Kepler track looks like an Ewok village. Great photos - I am very impressed with your travels - esp since we have just arrived in Christchurch from Aus - it's particularly interesting for me. We'll hopefully make it to a number of places the same as yourself. Cheers, and thanks for sharing fab trip info and great shots! Sharon. |
| 14th February 2006 Eggs on Legs | Wonderful photographs - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles These are beautiful, I especially love the auroras and sunsets - such vibrant colours. Would love to witness them in real life. I think top these, someone would need to write a travelblog from space! Good luck with your travels! :-) |
| 13th February 2006 Kate | I Heart Sydney - From: Lunch In Sydney So glad to hear that you enjoyed the day in Sydney. I did my best to fit in what I could in the space of two hours. Your photos turned out well too! Hope you're keeping well, K |

| 1st December 2005 Laura Rip | getting jealous... - From: Warm Weather - To Me At Least Whoa, I'm really looking forward to getting back to NZ now! Thanks for the updates, and keep them coming so I know what is out there for my travels! Actually things are going well here, and I don't find myself TOO anxious to get done in McMurdo. Probably next month the itch will set in. My cube is pretty lonely without anyone around, but I'm glad you're having fun! |
| 24th November 2005 Mike Bair | Number Next - From: Warm Weather - To Me At Least Best of luck in all your travels Keith. Your words and pictures have enriched many lives. Never doubt that. M~ |

| 5th November 2005 Carmen | Almost, only counts in horse shoes - From: Farewell Antarctica Beautiful scenery. Enjoyed reading your journey. Does seeing the rookery count as an actual Emperor penguin sighting? They do live there, right? |

| 25th October 2005 PING! | Shackleton's Grave? - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration Well Keith, Antarctica was the single greatest adventure of my life, and your friendship was an important part of that. I laughed when I saw my picture. You're a better writer than me, keep it up. I'll be following your exploits. And I haven't forgotten about South Georgia. Mike |
| 23rd October 2005 Wendy Dudley | Wow! - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration What a great finale! As usual, very nice pics. I love the one you took of the bottom of the ocean. Just like Kate said, I feel like I was on the journey with you. I couldn't find the Heinz catsup bottle though:(....I must be blind! Best of luck to you and hope you can adjust to the warmer climate. Sincerely, Wendy from Detroit |
| 23rd October 2005 Kate | - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration Finally.... the man behind the mask! I feel as though I am leaving Antartica with you.... thanks for the journey! See you in Sydney. k |

| 24th September 2005 Kathy Leipman | The Hardhat and the Fish - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles Bless the hardhat! As hard as your head is, I know the hat helped out!! PGFWABF! The fish is amazing. It's almost as if he was posing for the camera. Quite a cute little guy/girl. Blessings, Son. |
| 24th September 2005 corrijene | - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles Pictures are beautiful! |
| 10th September 2005 Bernard Thomas | Deja vu all over again - From: A Fond Fairwell to Winter I am surprised--things don't seem to have changed all that much since I wintered over at McMurdo in 1976 (except I bet the internet and satellite TV make a big difference). |
| 8th September 2005 Kathy Leipman | More pictures of fingers & toes - From: A Fond Fairwell to Winter I need to make sure the frostbite hasn't gotten them! Behave yourself. Love, Mom |
| 8th September 2005 Jay, Glendale, AZ, USA | Thanks for your experiences and great pictures! - From: A Fond Fairwell to Winter Congratulations on being one of the few to spend time in Antarctica. Good overview of life there. |
| 18th August 2005 6 months off | needles anyone? - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution hmm...is there a need for a resident acupuncturist down there? it looks very tempting desipte the coldness! thanks for the great journal :) |
| 16th August 2005 Shelly-Vancouver Island | Beautiful - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution You paint a very lovely picture through your words, almost worth a visit! |
| 28th July 2005 from NH | wow - From: The Southern Lights Hi Keith, I have realy enjoyed your pictures and stories. I think its great your able to do this. stay safe. |
| 22nd July 2005 Ron | Adventure - From: The Southern Lights Great to show my kids that the world is filled with places with endless adventure and no Malls. |
| 21st July 2005 alex | blue igloo - From: The Southern Lights I love the photos with the igloo, looks so cool. Travelling and discovering places and people is what I want my life to be about. But before reading your blog, I'd never considered Antarctica. Gonna have to look into how I can go there. a silly question but I have to ask: do you have fridges or do you just have cold rooms where the temperature is kept at a certain level? |
| 19th July 2005 Linda | Wow! - From: The Southern Lights My dream has been to experience Antarctica as you did. In case I never do, at least I can live it through your excellent journal. |
| 18th July 2005 anonymous | Beautiful photo - From: The Southern Lights I can't imagine what it's like standing under a purple and green sky, but your photograph helps. Thanks--Carmen |
| 1st July 2005 Genevieve | Bunny Boots - From: Happy Stormy Midwinter So, are you gallumphing about outside in your Bunny Boots? If so how do they handle in all that snow? Or do you have your own boots, and if so what kind are they? I envy you those storms. I love playing in the snow. |
| 30th June 2005 Kathy Leipman | That's my boy! - From: Happy Stormy Midwinter I used to love storms, too. My father said I didn't have the sense to come in out of the rain! As far as jumping into frozen water, that must be the Norwegian in you! Carry on, Son! Love, Mom |
| 23rd May 2005 anonymous | Amazing again! - From: Auroras, Penguins & Seals Keith, This is so cool! I get to visit Antarctica vicariously through your Blogs. Great Pix and writing! Hope an Emperor shows up! Thanks for the views. Da Case - Jeff Casey |
| 24th April 2005 anonymous | You can't really call that a smile, Son. - From: There Goes the Sun! That is a serious look of exclamation. When you smile, your mouth is elongated - not a perfect circle as in this picture! Even though I saw you the moment you were born, I still can't figure out where you came from! Yet, we live vicariously through you! Carry on! Love, Mom - Kathy Leipman |
| 17th April 2005 anonymous | Dream Interpretation - From: I'm Dreaming of Penguins from Space! Son, when I started reading the dream, I thought, oh no! He's been in the cold too much! I was relieved to learn it was a dream. There is a link for dream interpretation. Maybe you should check it out. By the way, your brother can superimpose you standing by the sign in your shorts and Hawaiian shirt. No need to stand in the cold! - Kathy |
| 27th February 2005 anonymous | "Epic Proportions" - From: A Small Island in the South Pacific Son, If you want so badly to experience an Antarctic storm, I'm sure you will. However, I'm afraid I'll be praying for something a little less than "Epic". Have a nice day! Love, Mom - Kathy Leipman |
| 25th February 2005 anonymous | Beard... - From: A Small Island in the South Pacific Um... wow. My little brother with a beard! Not shaving can be very liberating, eh? I do hope you are having a good time. When the darkness kicks into full gear, I expect you to be watching the skies... I want "pizza" stories!!! - Dr. Bingham Neddlemictius |
| 26th January 2005 watrfrnt | Life in New Zealand - From: Greetings From New Zealand I'll look forward to your future journals. I'm very interested in New Zealand. Please post anything about everyday life there. Thanks.. |
| 20th January 2005 anonymous | Antarctica - From: The Journey Begins Don't forget to eat your vegetables, Son. Love Mom - Kathy |
