Turkey Sounds like you had a lot of fun in Turkey. More so than Ireland and that area. Sure glad to hear your Mom and "Auntie" made it to meet you. Have fun on Safari!
Another great blog Ah, Crystal, the things you are seeing, and doing are beyond my imagination. To have had the opportunity to do such things when I was 'young' was unheard of. The furthest I had a chance to go was Niagara Falls. Your blogs let us live a bit with you, and now Alexis, on your adventures. Absolutely love it! I am really looking forward to the next one. I am going to Hawaii in the spring with my daughter and family, so that will be great for Wayne and I. Take care, keep safe, Auntie Sue
Amazing... Once again Crystal, you continue to amaze me with your detail to sharing your wonderful experiences with all of us back home! I would be priviliged to walk with you and your sister some day in the International Four Day March in the Netherlands! (Better do it soon, before I get much older! LOL) You are an amazing roll model to us all, and I am so proud to have you as my daughter! LOVE YOU...continue enjoying the world and sharing with everyone!
To the travelling twosome! Glad to see that the two of you are enjoying your travels! Your pics are great and we love to read your blog to see where you are travelling to, and where you have been. Better than that are your writing skills baby sis, I don't have to imagine at all how you have been feeling as you write with such charisma. We are looking forward to your next blog and set of pics of your adventures. Until we see you both again know all is well here at home with us, the summer has been hot and the pool has been well used. Love and miss you both very much, travel safe....kisses! ;D

AWESOME Once again Crystal....So wonderful to read your adventures!!! I am so proud of the two of you....Continue to follow your dreams...I love you my dear girls!
So Proud Crystal, I am so proud of the women you were, the women you are and the women you are becoming...sometimes, we are hardest on the people that love us the most, because, we know that they will continue to love us no matter what...and that my dear daughter is how it will always be...so when those days come, that we have the least patience with each other...may we always be able to give each other a hug at the end of the day, and know how much love there is between us! Thank you for sharing all your heartfelt experiences...not only do you grow but so do I! LOVE YOU...Safe travels to you and your sister!
After all these years, I guess I should just sign my name, Sue but, I was known too long, by too many of Jens' friends to change it. LOL! I cannot believe you are gone again on another adventure. This time your sis gets to go also. Congrats again to Alexis on her grad from Dentistry! Your blogs are so great to read. It's like being there myself. Keep it up and I'm sure, in the future you will be writing more than one book about your travels. Take care out there. Sue
