| 17th July 2009 Robje | - From: Robbed in Amsterdam Thankfully I've never had a serious problem in Amsterdam over several trips. However, I was at the US Consulate with my buddy while he replaced his passport. While there I met a guy from Chicago who had just been cleaned out while he slept in his hotel. His only remaining possessions were the clothes he had on his back... no passport, no money, no clothes, etc. Just a reminder, these things can happen even while you sleep tight next to your belonging! Store any important belongings ( passport, credit cards, etc...) in a safe box when asleep or away. |
| 5th May 2009 Jenny | Thanks! - From: The Masai Tribe These are very interesting pictures. Thank you so much for sharing! |
| 7th July 2008 nette | These people will be here when cilization dies. - From: The Masai Tribe All races come from black people, and the white man knows he come from a tribe in east africa, especially this tribe (Maasai). I don't like the way these white vistors has talked about these people. Frist of all, these people are in a human zoo which you go to see. And, the price for coming into their village is worth more than the price asked for. Theses people are leting strangers come into their village,which could be bring dieases that can hurt or kill them. Yes, these people live in very poore conditions,but it has been their way of life since ancient time and they have survied. So, who are we to put down someone way of living,especially when they did't ask you to come to their land or home. I know these people is probley the white man foundation from which he come from...Just look at their features on the face...skinny nose, I thought all black people had wide noses,but not the eastern tribes of Africa,because this is where the garden of eden was, and the nile is the river that ran out of the garden of eden. Therefore, this land and area is the answers to man creation on this......dig deeper, you will find out that, "black man came from another planet,which the bible tells you that. But, eventhouth, we have broken off into different tribes and races, we are all from the same family, Human-being, and the being stand for the part of use not from this earth. |
| 3rd February 2008 JUDY | - From: The Masai Tribe I just want to go to Africa so badly. Thank you for these photos, how fascinating is this culture, how different from America. |
| 12th January 2008 Floyd Anthony Alsbach | pice are excellent - From: From Raggedy Ann to Pepé Le Pew I teach art history at missouri valley college. I wonder if I could show my class some of your pics of gothic architecture. They are very good, and from a man on the streets point of view that may help them imagine themselves there. Floyd |
| 12th December 2007 Tamisha | Gorgeous! - From: Happy Holidays Just what a tree should be. Every item should have a sentimental meaning. And it ain't so bad lookin' either! Merry Christmas!! |
| 8th December 2007 Overrated Underwhelmed | Awwww... - From: Happy Holidays This is adorable. And rad. Rad and adorable. |
| 21st October 2007 Les Jones | Sixty plus years ago. - From: Poster Child For Gentrification Hi Guy's ... Your blog of Casablanca brought back memories. You stated thirty years ago. Believe me, it looked the same when I was there 62 years ago. Looking forward to seeing you upon your return. Luv ... Les Jones |
| 3rd October 2007 Overrated Underwhelmed | In light of the flurry of comments you guys left for me... - From: Robbed in Amsterdam let me add that the next day we laughed our asses off after I leafed through the police report and saw, among the list of stolen property one iPod "NiNi" that apparently carried the inscription (at least according to the Amsterdam PD) "To Gene: Love Man". |
| 1st October 2007 OverratedUnderwhelmed | Scared and relieved - From: Robbed in Amsterdam I didn't know what the hell was going on when I was woken up by Gina screaming when I was sleeping just in the next room over. I think we can all definitely agree about feeling violated in terms of our personal space, since it was our home for three days. Just glad we still managed to have a good trip there overall. And finding the camera lens while packing on the way out was a much needed pleasant surprise! I will keep repeating: I am beyond relieved that no one got hurt. Except for the perp...despite the actual lack of hypodermics all over the streets. |
| 30th September 2007 Mom | Agree with Darby - From: Robbed in Amsterdam Just glad you both are okay...everything else is replaceable. We love you so very much... |
| 30th September 2007 Debbie & Phil | whoa... - From: Robbed in Amsterdam glad you're safe and coming home soon. what a way to wake up! we'd have heart attacks for sure. take care & enjoy the rest of your trip. love yous... |
| 30th September 2007 darby | not bad karma... - From: Robbed in Amsterdam maybe bad for your blood pressure. let's be more hopeful. maybe he'll step on an HIV infected needle that one of amsterdam's many junkies left laying on the street. here's to hoping... see hope is good for the soul! |
| 27th September 2007 Piyush | - From: From Raggedy Ann to Pepé Le Pew Nice photos..You both are looking great..Have fun!! |
| 25th September 2007 Mom | Raggedy Ann - From: From Raggedy Ann to Pepé Le Pew Gina you are beautiful no matter what color they dye your hair...Hey everyone, Gina will turn 29 on the 29th. Love you both and counting the days until your are stateside again. xoxox from all of us in SC |
| 25th September 2007 Lisa V. | Morocco - From: Lost Arts Wow. This is definitely interesting reading. If I ever make it to Morocco, I know that I should be prepared to be scammed. :) |
| 19th September 2007 OverratedUnderwhelmed | What about South America? - From: Yes, We're Alive! Are you guys just taking a break by returning home? I could swear you guys were planning on going to Buenos Aires in November. If you can't make it this time around, make a point to go eventually. As amazing as I'm sure the trip has been, I'm sure you're looking forward to coming home too! |
| 18th September 2007 Debbie | glad you're alive... - From: Yes, We're Alive! ...can't wait for you to come home! Greece seems so long ago already... |
| 4th September 2007 OverratedUnderwhelmed | ¡Ay, Dios Mío! - From: Gina-zuma’s Revenge It would have been slightly meta and a bit ironic if all of this had happened in Pamplona during the Running of the Bulls. Not to mention exceedingly gross. Lousy, bland food and going to bed after the sun has barely set. The very antithesis of a good trip to Spain. Que lastima. |
| 1st September 2007 Mom | No wonder you looked so thin last month - From: Gina-zuma’s Revenge I'm sure it was not funny while it was happening. Yuck!!!But, sure is funny reading it. Bless your hearts. Looking forward to you returning to the USA. Enjoy Greece and Gina's brothers. I love you so much. =) Mom~ P.S. Sunflowers are beautiful, but not as nice as the ones that grew this summer thanks to your genereous gift of flowers seeds. Will forward the photos when I get my lap top next week. |
| 1st September 2007 Tamisha | Diesel + Nausea = Disaster - From: Gina-zuma’s Revenge Gene, I so feel your pain. I had a similar situation when we took the longest, smelliest and jerkiest bus ride ever from Milan proper to the airport on our honeymoon. Let's just say you fared much better than I did. UGH. I hope the illness passed shortly after your arrival to Spain. We miss you guys!!! |
| 23rd August 2007 Debbie | omg - From: The Last Thing You Want to Hear When You Are Deathly Sick is a Stupid Question this one had me laughing out loud - the kids asked me "what's so funny?". fyi - we'll be on a FAST boat to Mykonos - dramamine may be needed. i'm gonna go get some coffee now... |
| 18th August 2007 gandg | Thanks for the Comment! - From: One Suite, Two Suite, Red Suite, Blue Suite It looks like you are one of our only friends these days ;) Gene and I sign onto this site every day, waiting like two little children for a comment. They make our day :) |
| 17th August 2007 Lisa V. | Getting outta Dodge - From: One Suite, Two Suite, Red Suite, Blue Suite This picture looks like it was taken in front of the Metra train yard. hmmm... Awfully suspicious. |
| 8th August 2007 Lisa V. | awesome - From: Just One of Those Days... Wow. I've been wanting to go to Morocco for as long as I can remember. Have fun and please take and post lots of pictures. :) |
| 7th August 2007 Tamisha | Whatcha gonna do with all that junk... - From: Just One of Those Days... Go on with your big booty!!! Who knew it would come in so handy? ;o) Glad you guys are back on the trail; we were very sorry to hear the bad news. We miss you so much!!! |
| 24th July 2007 darby | “We’re getting stiffed.” - From: Information Overload Sometimes I think this could be the theme of the trip. You guys seem to be getting stiffed, especially in the 3rd world. They all taking 3rd world generic Viagra every day before they meet you? |
| 11th July 2007 Mikkie | Egypt for your 30th through your eyes - From: Time Impoverished How awesome is that? Even tho none of us were there to celebrate with you - seems to me - all that you live for.....was right next to you in celebration. Great job Gina, with your limited amt. of space - in surprising him. Great photos - both of you seem sooo.....into it. Love you both - sure miss you...even though I know your having the time of your lives - can't believe it's 6 mo. already since you left. Can't believe your in Paris - as we speak..... |
| 9th July 2007 darby | keep up the vacation! - From: Time Impoverished i know you guys work hard on that for all of us and your own posterity. be sure to have a good trip too! you have been all over recently. you will have a chance to settle in and catch up with your longer stays in europe. good luck and continued safe and happy travels. all my love, jesster |

| 3rd July 2007 darby | nice rainbow shot - From: Mara Simba Lodge: Day 1 Rejoice oh homosexual animals of Africa. Your gay bar has finally opened and has even spent some money on skywriting advertising so you can find its location. |
| 3rd July 2007 darby | are you insulting eye-talians? - From: Mara Simba Lodge: Day 2 "Helmeted Guinea" Is this a dig at the proud ethnic heritage of many of your readers and the "efficacy" of their troops? |
| 2nd July 2007 Tamisha | Who knew... - From: The Difference Between a Good Safari and a Bad Safari... ...frogs could be so frightening! Think of how much more fun you could've had on your safari if you'd found that out on your first night at the Hilton! I bet Gina would've gotten that ornament for free! :o) Miss you guys. |
| 28th June 2007 Betty | - From: The Southernmost Point Looks absolutely beautiful--soooo jealous! |
| 26th June 2007 Tamisha | Amazing - From: And Then There Was Light To read this and reflect on the insignificant, trivial concerns that have been plaguing me this morning... It really puts things in perspective. What an amazing trip, you guys! Can't wait to see what was next on your travels! |
| 26th June 2007 darby | so far from home... - From: And Then There Was Light and still they have lay away. it touches the heart. |
| 26th June 2007 Lisa V. | Wow - From: Heaven on Earth This place is gorgeous. SO glad you attached the map so that I know where in the hell this paradise is located. Yes, I'm not ashamed to admit that I had no idea where the Maldives were -- I am a product of the Chicago public school system after all. |
| 26th June 2007 Lisa V. | So cool - From: Djuma Bush Lodge: Day 4 These pictures are all so cool! I love the mama & baby playing. Still, these animals don't quite measure up to the super "awesome" pigeons that I'm looking at right now. |
| 25th June 2007 Jen & The Girls | Good pics - From: Djuma Bush Lodge: Day 4 Hey you guys, yes the girls and I are still reading along. they loved all these pictures.

| 23rd June 2007 Jen & Rach | Great Pictures - From: Djuma Bush Lodge: Day 3 Just wanted to finally leave you a comment - Jason told us about this blog awhile ago and now we feel a little stalkerish because we've read every entry.

| 21st June 2007 gandg | Venison it is! - From: The Comic Relief Was Worth Twice the Price The springbok was absolutely delicious, but I still prefer a well-prepared venison! |
| 21st June 2007 darby | thats never... - From: Djuma Bush Lodge looked tempting till now. into the bush! |
| 21st June 2007 darby | springbok? - From: The Comic Relief Was Worth Twice the Price better than venison? |

| 11th June 2007 Gene | Photos - From: When Poverty Looks You Directly in the Face... It's about time.....I knew that there was a phptographer in there somewhere. Great photos. I am jealous. |
| 11th June 2007 darby | wow! - From: The Kathmandu Photo Blog that place is filthy. no wonder the maoist insurgents want to get their hands on it so bad... |
| 11th June 2007 darby | so does this mean? - From: When Poverty Looks You Directly in the Face... you forgave him for the 6:30 AM wake up call? |

| 2nd June 2007 Tamisha | Just when you think it can't get worse... - From: From Zero to Bitch ...someone comes through. Glad your experience hasn't been ALL bad, but I would still give a lot of consideration to traveling to Asia. Why are my people h8n' all the time? I guess that's where I get it from! It's in the genes! ;o) |

| 2nd June 2007 darby | and i thought... - From: There’s No Place Like Home she only liked loud CNN reports on angry Asians shooting up schools in chewing tobacco land... raise a toast to variety. and another toast to angelina's luscious lips! |

| 30th May 2007 Lisa V. | Hell - From: Making Friends With The Locals If there was a Judge or Arbitrator of Justice in Hell -- which Judge at the Daley enter would be the Presiding Judge? I've got a few in mine who seem amply qualified -- or maybe even a few other people who readily come to mind. |
| 29th May 2007 krankberg | Kung-pow bitch - From: Getting Our Money's Worth It sure seems like you guys get alot of lip over there. You should definetly look into aquiring a 357 to help with the rudeness. |
| 28th May 2007 Uncle Tony | - From: An Out-of-Sequence Update Enjoy the time you have. You are truely living a dream. Thank you for sharing your travels. I can almost imagine being there. |
| 27th May 2007 allan | counterfeit calling cards - From: Getting Our Money's Worth never mind the calling cards - what about the '82 Buick? |
| 27th May 2007 darby | you think... - From: Getting Our Money's Worth the wine in that carafe was perhaps fermented from pork blood or something exotic? i doubt it was drinkable. |
| 27th May 2007 darby | pissed off... - From: For Better or For Worse just remember next time you are in line, its better to be pissed off than pissed on. umm. food poisoning. yummy. you guys should give up on food markets for the rest of the trip, methinks. |
| 24th May 2007 krankberg | pushyness - From: Making Friends With The Locals You should have thrown one of those bastards onto the tracks, screaming XIE XIE the whole time. Put a picyure of Gina in her new dress up in the next one. UnnGOW |
| 24th May 2007 darby | which taoist tortures? - From: Making Friends With The Locals Did you figure out what taoist tortures you can look forward to in the afterlife for your wicked ways? |

| 23rd May 2007 krankberg | rick shaw on the wall - From: The Hook-Up That blog was some funny shit. I think the picture turned out great, it made me laugh outloud. Its not often I see the word "calamity" used, good stuff. You should hire that Denise chick to be your chaperone for your stay in China, looks like she keeps those F^*$#@! commies in line. Glad you are finnaly having some fun! |
| 22nd May 2007 darby | sucker... - From: The Hook-Up haven't you learned yet about non-mechanized transport? |

I was busy with my research project at the Uni of Qld. Barrier Reef is also in my must-see destination in Qld. Interesting read! rey |
| 21st May 2007 digital_explorer | Another side of Tokyo - From: Fresh Kill I was stunned to see these photos, not the usual city views, buildings, crowded people in malls, restaurants. etc. But here, you showed the sea food markets which Japanese would love to visit! It seems that you really enjoy Japanese food! I noticed from the rest of your trips in Japan, always eating....eating...! Aoshi!!! |
| 21st May 2007 digital_explorer | Next stop after Tokyo - From: The Scenic Route This is also an interesting city and just reminded me of the earthquake happened here. Rey |
| 21st May 2007 digital_explorer | Sayonara - From: The Final Curtain Im just wondering if your first photo caption is referred to 'Sayonara'? Well done. I visited this country in 1999 particularly Nagoya City. Nice city. Rey |
| 21st May 2007 digital_explorer | Interesting places - From: Trying to Fit In Your photos inspired me to visit this place very soon! Interesting review. rey |
| 21st May 2007 digital_explorer | Great moments at Wall of China - From: The Hook-Up This is in my list of must-see places in the world before I die. Quite an interesting read. Rey |
| 19th May 2007 jblonska | none - From: The Final Curtain I just read through this whole japan blog, and then laughed out loud when I read steve's comment. That's hilarious, and I'm proud that Japan is stupid. |
| 18th May 2007 Labooty | - From: Trying to Fit In This entry was hilarious!!! It brightened my whole day since moving is driving me crazy!! |
| 17th May 2007 darby | the bugs... - From: Trying to Fit In are going to get you. actually that wasn't smog, but the communist fumigation policy at work. its the little known bug revolution targeting all the teacher and artist bugs. |
| 17th May 2007 krankberg | HAHAHAHAHA - From: Fighting Over a Dollar HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa |
| 17th May 2007 krankberg | sucks - From: The Final Curtain If Japan sucked, China will be a real shithole. |

| 16th May 2007 darby | wrong much? - From: Fighting Over a Dollar "i want my quarter back!" i love it. careful. i bet prison in china sucks. heavy kitty hiv. |
| 15th May 2007 darby | boo hoo - From: The Final Curtain It shall be a few moons till I see you again. We will be older (30) and probably if history holds not much wiser. But perhaps we will be happy? Safe travels G1 and G2... Much love, Jesster the Snore Monster |
| 14th May 2007 Philip Lukowski | Checking in - From: The Family Tree Nice commentary and interesting history perspective knowing that I've stood at Pearl Harbor but you both seeing what it's like on the other side. Never thought I'd read about Gene visiting a cousin near Hiroshima but it clearly speaks about how the world is becoming one. Stay safe. |
| 13th May 2007 Auntie K | Wow!! - From: The Family Tree Glad to see my cousin is alive and well...he looks great, and what cute kids!! |
| 13th May 2007 darby | arthur... - From: The Family Tree was like a full sack of taters... i could barely get up with him on my back. |
| 13th May 2007 Gene | - From: Another Wildlife Encounter Not everyone can use shit-filled shoes and Japanese temple all in the same sentence. Good work Gina. |
| 10th May 2007 Tamisha | Huh??? seconded - From: Major Malfunctions Chew, I was wonderigng the same thing. I cornfused. |
| 9th May 2007 gandg | Darby = Jess - From: "Mutardo" Jess' pet name. |
| 8th May 2007 krankberg | I am... - From: The Scenic Route ...never going to japan... |
| 8th May 2007 krankberg | AAAHHHHHH - From: "Mutardo" WHO THE HELL IS DARBY!!! |
| 8th May 2007 krankberg | Huh???? - From: Major Malfunctions Who the hell is "darby" and what are these comments it leaves. I am having a hard enough time keeping up with three blogs a day. |
| 8th May 2007 darby | uphill both ways in the snow... - From: The Scenic Route when your destination is uphill you are going to walk uphill no matter which road you take on the way there and it will ALWAYS be easier going back down. especially when there is cold Belgian beer and internet access waiting for the taking. |
| 8th May 2007 darby | mutardo boy... - From: "Mutardo" also booked us in what very much appeared to be the red light district of osaka. ah, japanese only hotel websites. the joy. "ruv hoten!" |
| 8th May 2007 darby | that arcade... - From: Major Malfunctions started a pork dumpling fetish that would recur throughout the rest of the trip. the look on their face was priceless as we left the laundromat, i wish i had a functioning camera at that point. gina was giving it 2 -1 odds that our clothes were being washed in gray water and would all smell like that horrible little hole. and it was just about everything they owned in those machines... |
| 7th May 2007 Lisa V. | Won - From: The Phuket Experience Awesome. Glad to hear that Won wasn't a SHIM. My pal just got back from Thailand and I heard all about the "lady boys" there. So jealous back in Chicago. Keep the blogs & pictures coming. I love them! |
| 6th May 2007 darby | speaking of maps and tofu... - From: Embracing Buddhism how about thinking we were going to get lost in the cemetery because it appeared to have multiple roads (turns out all paths led to the fluorescent lit temple)? and that gina ate the soup that, had it not been a veggie meal, i would have sworn had puffy, freeze dried jellyfish corpses in it. |
| 6th May 2007 darby | i didn't see you come up with... - From: The Compass Rose any helpful responses to the map either. and walking is good for you. only 18,000 short steps a day keeps the amish from putting on pounds and reduces hypertension. one curvy, unlabeled street tends to look like any other curvy unlabeled street after 9 or 10 hours. |
| 3rd May 2007 krankberg | pork only... - From: Oodles of Noodles well, was it carnitas or what, are you only going to describe the bad food? What the hell are the drugs on the side of the plate, something to help with smoke inhalation. I like that you stared down those punkass kids, you should have served them an ice cold American knuckle sandwich. hope for ginas sake you start seeing more McDonalds. Hi jess. |
| 3rd May 2007 darby | the trains smell... - From: Oodles of Noodles like pee. i think it might actually have been hummingbird egg. |
| 3rd May 2007 darby | nothing in the book mentioned... - From: [i]Leave It To Beaver[/i] that she would be getting grilled chicken heart... and it wasn't like the waitress was going to be able to explain it. it took so long because each chicken only has 1 heart and they had to put 4 on each skewer... YUMMY! tastes like sauce. |
| 30th April 2007 krankberg | Stripmine - From: Fresh Kill Those people will eat anything. Looks like I have to give up seafood to maintain the balance. |
| 30th April 2007 krankberg | What? - From: Say No to SARS! You don't like sushi, what the hell is wrong with you!!! |
| 30th April 2007 darby | ironically... - From: Say No to SARS! that mask would be later lost in the laundry in osaka. oops. guess i should have celebrated less before doing an late afternoon laundry trip to the Wash N' Sewer. man that place smelled... but i will leave the full description to a later blog. enjoy china! don't get the sars, i know you are too embarrassed to wear your masks. |
| 30th April 2007 darby | i was there, it's all true. - From: Fresh Kill except for the part about finding money. it was actually harder than that. for the record: this was the ONLY day my pigeon Japanese made a difference in outcome and thank God. That was some good fish! Thanks for your share Gina... |
| 30th April 2007 Tamisha | "The 'After' Photo" - From: Say No to SARS! I want what she's having!!! |
| 30th April 2007 Mom | Say No to Sars - From: Say No to SARS! Thank God you remembered to mask my grandfrog. BTW, the masks look like jock-straps...You all look great! xoxoxo...mom |
| 29th April 2007 gandg | - From: Rules of the Road Definitely a car! Even Lonely Planet tells you to stay away from renting mopeds -- they are death traps! |
| 29th April 2007 aaron | moped or car? - From: Rules of the Road Good blog.. im going in august for a month.. im unsure what transport to hire yet.. |
| 28th April 2007 gandg | - From: The Phuket Experience My guess is a shim is a she-male ;) As far as I know, I'm guessing not. However, I have no evidence otherwise and you just can never know in that place! |
| 27th April 2007 Lisa V. | Won - From: The Phuket Experience Please tell me Won isn't a shim? |

| 27th April 2007 Mom | snoring - From: The Bugle Sounds in Tokyo Time for the bathroom floor for someone...God help you Gina if you begin to snore...lol |
| 27th April 2007 Tort McCarter | Travel necessities - From: The Bugle Sounds in Tokyo Besides those zip off pants, never leave home without Zicam Serious Sinus Relief! Caely gave me some when my snoring was keeping her awake. In 30 seconds, my head was clear, and we both slept the rest of the night! |
| 26th April 2007 krankberg | - From: A Taste of Taiwan All the pictures are great! Looks beautiful, to bad it stinks so damn bad. You should buy some fire works and get one of those fort cannons to blast. |
| 26th April 2007 krankberg | That aint so big - From: Hey Mickey, You're So Fine Asia seems very crazy, the hooters video was great. |
| 26th April 2007 Tort McCarter | Good practice! - From: A Taste of Taiwan Hey, Gina, wait until you see the "Turkish toilets" in Europe--they have about 1/4 that size to aim at. You'll be glad you practiced on that one in the fish market! |
| 24th April 2007 Les n Karen | Thanks for the Journals ... - From: Sidecar Thank you for taking the time to write your very interesting and clever journals. We have enjoyed every one of them, and we have "traveled" with you to all your interesting places. Anxious to see your journal on the Great Wall ... Lov ... Les n Karen |
| 23rd April 2007 Tort McCarter | You gave up pizza for lent?! - From: Bad Karma Well, as long as it wasn't sex, it shouldn't have been too bad! As for the pants--as far as we're concerned, who cares how dorky they look, they make travel possible! |
| 19th April 2007 krankberg | kick him in the jimmy - From: T.K.O. I laughed out loud with this one. You needed to take the bullet and stomp that rat! I'm glad you got to see some Muay Thai, that stuff is awsome. Next time get in the ring and show them the Sawyer kick to the groin move. |
| 19th April 2007 Mom | Gina Sawyer's Official Fan Club - From: The Neon Lights Are Bright... Do you just want to get some tweezers and pluck the shit out of the mole on that guys chin or what??? Have to mention I am concerned at all my grand frog is being exposed to. You know you may just corrupt him LOL |
| 19th April 2007 Mom | Piyush - From: Sidecar Okay Gene how much did you pay Piyush to say that you were sweet? Enjoyed the postcard and thank you for the beautiful scarf. hugs and kisses to you both and Cranky too. |

| 17th April 2007 Jason B | metric sucks. what's wrong with you? - From: Sidecar I'm enjoying the blog-site and it's fun looking at all of the pictures of your guys drunk all over the place, but I must say I can't tell what the hell is going on over there because Gene writes everything in metric. How the hell long is a meter, and why are you walking meters at a time? Remember Gene, God created the earth in a few days and measured it out by his feet and in miles. Don't get all uppety like the Eurotrash over there. Miss you both, Jason |
| 17th April 2007 krankberg | hahaha - From: Rules of the Road That is one of the best ones yet. I didn't see any pictures of you smoking the tires? Sounds like that place is super shifty, watch your ass. |
| 17th April 2007 krankberg | woah - From: The Phuket Experience Are there any actual girls in Thailand or just trannies? |
| 16th April 2007 Rebecca & Andy | Don't Get Caned - From: Sidecar Hi guys - we've been enjoying your posts! Wanted to say hello after months of reading stealthily without comment. We just got back from our decidedly less glamorous vacation to Orlando where Andy had some kidney conference (and learned that yep, they're still used for peeing). Not much to report here except that after a few days in Disney World, I have decided to schedule my tubal ligation for sometime next month. -R |
| 13th April 2007 Tamisha | UM... - From: Singapore Sling Gina. Wrapped in a live snake. With a $5 sign over her shoulder. Um, what are you trying to say here, Gene? |
| 11th April 2007 krankberg | dim sum - From: Sidecar You had to fly from Australia to China to meet an Indian from America? Anyway, be careful those shifty asians don't drop you off in the ghetto and get your asses robbed. oh, and aim well! |
| 11th April 2007 Debbie | That is so not funny... - From: If You Can't Beat'em, Join'em The room situation - what a nightmare - I'm glad you had fun with it though. Love the pics of you w/roo's - so telling! |
| 9th April 2007 Krankberg | - From: Don Quixote Sounds like a swinging town for sure. Maybe you should go work the mine for a week or so and build up your resevres. If a chef is making 2 grand a week, your eanrning potential could be limitless. Youu could sit in the cave in a cage and substitue for the canary. I would think that would qualify for hazard pay. As far as the pinnacles are concerned, that looks like the best place to play paintball i have ever seen. |
| 9th April 2007 darby | conjugal visits? - From: Cheap Real Estate why would prisoners get anymore action than free men? |
| 4th April 2007 Mikkie | Dear Lord - From: A Bad Piece This is what we feared for you......in un-chartered territories....same situation happened to us in Italy.....lousy lodging.....bad food - buy hey.....we're still here to talk and laugh about it. Hope day two proved to be alot better. |

| 4th April 2007 darby | no airport - From: A Date With the 'Rock' built exclusively to come visit my rock. hmm. maybe i need to put up a website to promote it. |
| 4th April 2007 Mom | No Sleep - From: A Date With the 'Rock' LMAO...this is adventure is almost as bad as sharing a room in San Francisco with me and moving to the bathroom floor to get away from my snoring. =) You both look great and the photos are wonderful. Glad to see you are keeping my grand-frog in tow. Hugs to you both and Cranky too. xoxo |
| 2nd April 2007 krankberg | Death from below - From: Crikey! You should lure some stray cats to your hotel room, bag'em and throw them over the fence at that place. Looked like some cool stuff, don't get eaten over there. |
| 2nd April 2007 krankberg | hell yes - From: Ready to take the Plunge I am so glad you went through with it. Diving is a amazing experience that everyone should try. |
| 2nd April 2007 Mom | Glad you tried it - From: Ready to take the Plunge G1 and G2, Glad you tried the scuba. Dennis says it's the best feeling in the world...you feel so free, well maybe not with the diving instructor holding your hand. Your adventures are amazing and to think you have really just begun this great journey. The real fun begins in the Orient. Kiku leaves for Japan in two weeks,will forward his contact information. Hopefully you can hook-up for dinner. Love you both, M~ |

| 31st March 2007 Tamisha | Good for you! - From: Ready to take the Plunge Goddamn Diving Nazi!! Kudos, Gina, for literally taking the literal plunge a second time! It's a scary feeling and to add the pressure of it "not" being that hard" just makes it worse. Glad it worked out. It looks and sounds like the payoff was beyond worth it!!! We miss you guys! I went to George's Taverna earlier this week for dinner and was talking about you guys and your amazing journey. Jimmy says "hello"! |
| 31st March 2007 Debbie | - From: Ready to take the Plunge Loved the video clips. The kids did too! Can't wait to see more. I wanna take that mean instructor down! |
| 31st March 2007 Gene Sawyer Sr. | - From: Never Too Late We sure enjoy reading your Blogs. Hope you are having a good time. We also want to wish you both a HAPPY EASTER. Haven't talked to your folks in the last couple of weeks. We will call them for Mikkies birthday. Love Grandpa & Grandma |
| 28th March 2007 krankberg | cheap bastards - From: Never Too Late Your not even half way around the damn globe and already bitchin about money. Have Gina write the next one, she knows that getting hammered is all that matters. |

Haven't been able to read the blog as much as I would like recently because I am still stuck in the "grind". However, I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you both. Continue your safe travels! All is well here in Chicago. Miss you. Jamie (and Paul). |
| 27th March 2007 Gene (one of the little people) | Drunken Gino - From: When Irish Eyes Are Smiling When your kids are about 18, show them that photo. They will no doubt say, " Dad, I wish I knew you when you were young and wild and not old and boring like you are now." I hope I'm around to see your face and hear your answer. By the way, thanks, my stock in Guiness just keeps going up. |
| 26th March 2007 Phil | BRILLIANT!!!!!! - From: When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Paul, a German misplant celebrating the Irish in Australia when he basically has October Fest every day of the year at home. Looks like a drunken fest. We look forward to receiving the Xtra Large Tshirt for a souvenior. Brilliant! Stay safe. |
| 26th March 2007 krankberg | Facism - From: When Irish Eyes Are Smiling That Paul guy looks like a real Nazi. Glad to see Gene is still a pussy and can't drink more than 3 beers without napping. |
| 23rd March 2007 Mom | Pooped pants - From: Pretty in Pink Jess: LMAO yes I just recently heard that story. Now the world knows. Hope you have a great time when you meet them in Singapore. =) *hugs* |

| 22nd March 2007 darby | you should have - From: Just Wait and See watched gia or foxfire girls. umm. jolie boobies! |
| 22nd March 2007 darby | laundry mistakes? - From: Pretty in Pink mel: what about the time he pooped his pants in germany?i guess he couldn't ruin the laundry though, as he tossed the shorts out the window... |
| 22nd March 2007 darby | .05%? - From: Code Sierra I'll never get to climb that darn bridge, will I... |
| 20th March 2007 Mom | acting - From: Just Wait and See Gina, Of course you can act honey, you're an attorney LOL...you can do anything. If Gusto made it into Lindsey Lohan's new flix there's hope for any of us who want to act. BTW, love the "sexy" shots Gene has been taking of you. |
| 20th March 2007 Mom | Pretty in Pink - From: Pretty in Pink What's a little color in your clothes? Ask him about his laundry Faux Pax when he went to Germany in high shool. ***Grin*** You can always wear each others clothes for a few days just for shits and giggles. |
| 19th March 2007 Debbie | Oh no... - From: Pretty in Pink I could see me & Phil in the same situation - it's not pretty. Life lesson I guess :-) - go for a walk & have a drink or 2. |
| 19th March 2007 Phil Lukowski | Too early to work - From: Just Wait and See It poured in Chicago last night-Maddie woke us up startled by the rain slamming on the windows. Kramer as usual freaking out. Debbie proceeded, after an attempt in our bed, to sleep with Maddie in her bed. I proceeded to lock Kramer in the lonely basement, shower at 4:00 am and proceed to work. Upon arriving, I was too freaking tired to start my Executive Summary before reading about travels with Christopher Robinson, Gene and Gina. Clothes are replaceable and pink is in. You may run into Angelina in one of the 3rd world countries you both are visiting. the question-Can Gina act? Most women without any schooling try the nudity route. DON"T DO IT GINA-Your not 20 anymore. Some start through a singing career-AGAIN NO CHANCE. I don't think you ever even played in a school play. However, my suggestion, upon your return to the states, after a year. begin waitressing to support your desire to act. Take out shot at a reality show-SURVIVOR episode 20! Now that you both have experience at. |
| 17th March 2007 Phil | "Bridge over troubled Gina" - From: Code Sierra Phil: Gina, it's lent...lose the word "shit"! It can easily be replaced with dump, #2, or poopie-pants. I'm bummed I can't see your pic on the bridge. Gene, nextime at boobie beach, take a close up! Deb: Don't listen to your brother...my nerves! Love yous! |
| 17th March 2007 Tamisha | DAAAAAAAAAAAMN Gina! - From: Code Sierra Lookin' HOT! |
| 13th March 2007 krankberg | I also like money. - From: Where's the Toilet? So the bastards didn't want to let you in 5 minutes early. Well, their toilets flush the wrong way and it has obviously gone to their heads. You should have tried to feed that upity bitch a good old American knuckle sandwich. I heard those are availble any time of day and always served with a smile. |
| 10th March 2007 Sam | - From: A Comedy of Errors It's looked like that one ugly kangaroo-like thing was humping your leg!<33 |
| 9th March 2007 Mom | Grand Frog - From: The Frog Blog First I get a grand cat now a grand frog. His name is perfect... He looks just like Gene. LMAO |
| 9th March 2007 kris | - From: The Frog Blog LMAO! |
| 8th March 2007 Lisa Velez | Wallabies - From: A Comedy of Errors So Lynde and I were looking at pictures of you and the wallabies (in particular we were laughing at one of the wallaby humping your leg). We wondered... what would happen is we set a horny wallaby loose at Cassiday? Who would the wallaby pursue first? Would he hump male and female legs? Would my feelings be hurt if the wallaby decided he didn't want to hump my leg? Lots of important questions. I've decided that of course the wallaby would try to hump my leg, I am EVERY wallaby's type. |
| 8th March 2007 darby | gina sawyer - pet lover - From: The Frog Blog im shocked, shocked i tell you, to see you are taking a stuffed animal across the entire planet. be sure to introduce it to its parents in china... unless it was hecho en mexico. |

| 8th March 2007 Barb | Remember the ducks? - From: A Comedy of Errors Gina, that picture of you with all of the wallabies surrounding your legs reminds me of the one I have of you when we were in Tampa and all of the baby ducks followed us home. Looks like you were in your glory. |
| 7th March 2007 Sam | - From: The 'Not So' Great Ocean Road How did Aunt Gina react to the panda?<3 |
| 5th March 2007 darby | hustlers. - From: The Yellow Brick Road screw the old bald men. they need to get a couple of hot chicks to stand outside. "hey baby, wanna try my pasta with clams?" |
| 4th March 2007 Phil | You will be pleased to know .... - From: Snuffy .... that Wade and Anna got happy married on the Sunday, no further mischeif occured (well maybe a little) and we got him home safe and sound. Thanks for adding to the great night out gandg and enjoy the rest of your travels. For referenc; Suffy is an abrievated version of Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street, a name we gave to Wade because of the size of the engine under the hood! It is not a kiwi term! |
| 3rd March 2007 Debbie | Competition? - From: The Yellow Brick Road Gina laughs in the face of "competition" - with that CACKLE (which I miss so much...and her singing...inabilities). I recognize the Evil Koala look though :-). xo |
| 28th February 2007 darby | please email me - From: Insect Genocide a higher res version of "you would think this place was pretty or something" to make a desktop background out of. thats awesome... |
| 26th February 2007 Phil Lukowski | My first blog review - From: Give me your hands. Debbie subscribed me to the blog address and I just received the first-a month into your trip. The good news is that my subcription runs for 11 more months. Great story in the wet suit. Don't complain-it took me only 30 seconds to put on my Sorell snowboots to shovel for a full hour of fun (like standing at the bottom of a snow capped mountain). I proceeded to go inside to rest only for it to snow/sleet/rain on my work. Chicago? New Zealand? touch choice. Gina, It was nice talking with you this weekend. I hope Gene and you have a wonderful time on your next continent adventure in Australia. |
| 24th February 2007 Les n Karen | - From: Give me your hands. We enjoy your pictures ... Good copy ! ! ! You are both good short story writers. Thanks for taking the time to let us enjoy all your adventures with you ... |

| 20th February 2007 Gene | Photos - From: Give me your hands. Great photos......Are there any that don't have one of you not smiling? here I sit at work at my mundane job wanting to be there with you two. Thanks for sharing your adventures with the rest of the boring world. |

| 14th February 2007 darby | man you look queer - From: Go Speed Racer in that helmet with your camera poking out like a misplaced john thomas. even your battle scarred bride looks better... |
| 14th February 2007 darby | i tried to read... - From: By Popular Demand... this rather short entry out loud to jason but he just yawned and went off to do something "important." i think it involved some panties maren left at 164... |
| 14th February 2007 mac | bulldog - From: By Popular Demand... Jess, Jason, Tort, and Mac say hello. Use these phrases to get by in NZ: good as gold, she'll be right, and no worries. Gina looks like a Mack bulldog like on the old trucks. GRRRRRRR |

| 13th February 2007 krankberg | hole shot - From: By Popular Demand... Looks like a real pavement burner you got there. Who the hell is that chick laying all over your pimped ride. Is that some homeless vagrant hooker you picked up in Tahiti? Any way, hope you two haven't caught any third world diseases yet. Talk to you soon. P.S. Alisa is having her baby on the 14th. Induced, the best kind of labor. |

| 9th February 2007 Barb | The Spider - From: The Rescue I think I saw your yellow and black spider while watching Survivor last night. This year they are in Figi. Their accommodations are a little worse than yours were. I am glad that you are out of there. I was beginning to think that I had creatures crawling around my bedroom at night. Gina I am proud of you. I know how you feel about bugs. |
| 9th February 2007 gandg | $12 per day insurance - From: Kiwi, It’s More than a Little Green Fruit! Somewhere near Fjordland I intend to roll out at 30mph and let it jump a cliff ;) |
| 9th February 2007 Andre | Jump it - From: Kiwi, It’s More than a Little Green Fruit! You are not a real man unless you jump that car at some point. You have to get air. I'm not saying you should jump over 30 school buses but all four tires need to be off the ground. |
| 8th February 2007 Mikkie | Now we're talking ....SWEEET..... - From: The Rescue I'm so sorry about Fiji - and the "slim pickins" of luxurious accomadations - but I see you definately will make up for it in the next few weeks. |
| 7th February 2007 labooty | Adventure books - From: Kiwi, It’s More than a Little Green Fruit! I thought I was the only geek in grade school that read those books!! Somehow I always picked the wrong choice and ended up in the snake pit as well!!! I love reading your entries. Be safe! |
| 7th February 2007 gandg | Bathroom Phobia - From: From Raro to Fiji Thank GOD, no fights over the toilet...not even a curtain separated the toilet from the spider sanctuary..I would have rather ran out into the wilderness..lol |
| 7th February 2007 Mikkie | No Worries.... - From: Kiwi, It’s More than a Little Green Fruit! May I suggest.... give your car a name - recognize it and say hello each time you get in, give it praise for each hill it climbs - and I'm certain that it will never let you down... |
| 5th February 2007 Jen R | Bathroom Phobia - From: From Raro to Fiji Wow. I hope that food agrees with you. Otherwise, you two are going to find yourselves engaged in a fight over who gets to squat in the spider sanctuary and who gets to risk getting stung in the ass by a wasp. |
| 5th February 2007 gandg | pat... - From: It’s Good to be King Nope... but I did see plenty of aluminum shanties |
| 5th February 2007 gandg | matt... - From: Bula! waa -- waa. |
| 4th February 2007 darby | is it a trout or a shark? - From: It’s Good to be King you might need a $28k toilet for this... "chocolate shark n. Unlike its relative the brown trout, the appearance of this giant beast from the bumhole often causes panic among toilet-goers." |
| 4th February 2007 pat, canada | fiji - From: It’s Good to be King a question-have you seen anybody sleeping in cardboard boxes while you were there or people stand in line in a soup kitchen? just wondering |
| 4th February 2007 matt | - From: Bula! wow, you are one crotchety, close-minded, arrogant bastard |
| 4th February 2007 Mikkie | I'm outta there - From: Cold Showers, Angry Wasps and Crappy Food - OH MY! Upon reading this section - with my eyes wide open - large as a flying saucers...I could relate to Gina's freight over the wasp...that would have been the day that I sunk or swam....out of that island by sea. |

| 3rd February 2007 Gene | Duped.....Revisited. - From: From Raro to Fiji Know how it feels. Remember when Mikkie and I went to Rome. I booked our accomodations also on line blindly. Inexpensive hotel meant that my booking Hotel Planet 29 in Rome was one step above a Youth Hostel. The only person that spoke English quit the day before we arrived.
