He didn't - he lost a bet with Jimmy Fallon and had to wear a fake moustache (without explaining why) during his monologue. He actually took it off in the next segment... although I agree, it actually didn't look as bad as I expected haha.

Loved the photos
We're heading to Alaska in May so I was very interested to read your blog and view the photos. I hope we're as lucky as you to see bears. Your photos are great.

Man that was quite the epic-long comment!! Haha, I'll answer your Euro qs in a message you'll actually read (it doesn't send you a message when I reply here, so I doubt you'll check back). Long story short, if I could get by in eastern Europe and northern Poland where there was virtually NO english... I have less than zero worries about Scotland/Ireland ;)

My mom warned you about the smoke, right?!?! please tell me you at least did ONE slot machine!! you had to! and gambling in pyjamas? seriously? so not the stereotypical class i\'m picturing (think oceans 11). The eh jokes will never end. the eh jokes are never ending... looking forward to them on our trip ;) this is getting me so excited!!! ahhh!!! and nervous... we have 0 planned. nerves!! aeroplanes! customs! ah! we\'re gonna have such a hard time understanding anyone in scotland/ireland hahaha. even watching the new america\'s next top model america vs. Brits i\'m like what? some of the girls have to be subtitled. i hope you have lots of pictures from the observation deck. would it have been expensive to bungee jump off it i wonder? crazy people are crazy. I wouldn\'t mind dangling off of it. I have a feeling McD\'s will be our european saviour.... do they have one dollar drink days there too in the summer? ;)

Haha! you are always asked for directions no matter where you are :P you look native to everywhere you go! This also shows you look like you know what you're doing.... which is beneficial as a tourist that way you don't end up on an episode of criminal minds ;) Glad you're having fun.

Thanks for the hostel pic!
Very nice indeed. Much better than the mouldy 70's.

re: hostels
Yep! I can post a picture of the place I was staying in last night, in the next update. Some of them are sketchy, but if you research before you go, most of them are well kept now.

Hi Julie. Sounds like you got off to a great start on your gap adventure. Are you allowed to take pictures in the hostels? I'd love to see what they look like. I'm sure they are much improved since my time - 1974 and 1977.

re: Em
I can respond here, doesn't mean you'll see it haha. I'll message you once we're in Washington anyway. Yay for reading =P Hotel near Atlantic City was good. It's a Howard Johnson, so nothing amazingly spiffy, but it's clean and sound doesn't carry which is nice. I shall hunt Kashi for you =P

how's your hotel? is it nice? i'm not really sure why I'm leaving my comment on here, since you probably can't respond this way. oh well.. just to prove i'm reading your blog maybe? :P Feel free to bring me back something kashi related!!!!

What a beauty!
I love Ladybird's feather-do. I think she could be starting a new hair/feather craze. You know, the shaggy look.

re: Elvira
We're so used to Alaskan weather, it's going to be a shock to the system to get home! Happy to hear Balou's being a sweetie - I'm impressed that he's going for walks ;) See you all soon!

Great pictures Julie! Great scenery...
All's well here. We're having lots of rain still. It should warm up in the next few days. Be prepared for muggy weather... We took Balou and Rufus for a longer walk around the park last night and Balou did fine. He was happy to get home though (after 3/4's of the walk he said that's enough, let's go home). I am sure he can't wait to see you guys soon! He is a very brave and sweet boy!! Love, Elvira, Jerry

re: Joan
Thanks! It feels weird doing those short updates, but I should have all the original posts up within the next day or two. We saw a few bears, but all at a safe distance ;) My Mom says hi back!

Sounds wonderful
Julie, Your descriptions are so vivid even in abbreviated form. Can't wait to see some pics. Say hi to your mom for me. Safe travels and keep those bears at a distance especially the mommies.

re: Em
I did not keep it, unfortunately... but the photo lives on! Weather was lovely - cear skies and warm. Nice airport - it's quite large and very sprawling which means tons of walking. Mom's gimpy right now, so that made it interesting lol. And a rain-free Seattle? Rain Gods LOVE MEEEEEE =)

hahah, please tell me you kept that pretzel bag!! That's so clever, I love when companies can poke fun at themselves. I'm glad you guys are having fun! What was the weather like in Atlanta? Is their airport nice? Had a good laugh about your run-in with customs. Some people are ridiculous. Good Luck in Seattle! watch for the rain!!... oh wait ;)

Walking Tour
Just want to say thanks for making such a great post about the walking tour, I'm off to Estonia for a few days and was undecided on whether to visit Riga for a day or not, but this has convinced me that it will be worthwhile, especially after seeing all those lovely pictures. Oh and just also wanted to say that I've heard of Ottowa and find it very surprising to learn that most people don't (I thought it would be quite common knowledge, considering it's the capital city)
