| 16th February 2008 alex | Philippine Eagle - nope! - From: The Mysteries of Boracay: Hobbits, Crystal Caves, and One Drink Wonders, All for Ten Pesos glad you had a great time in Boracay... But the eagle you've mentioned as Philippine Eagle is not a Philiippine Eagle... i think it's a sea eagle (am not so sure if it could be called a Philippine sea eagle hehe). The real Philippine Eagle is not supposed to be kept in cages and any business establishment keeping such wildlife would be in trouble! |

| 4th June 2007 Andrea | it ain't ova! - From: Blog Entry #100: MAD-MIA-YYZ (Madrid to Miami to Toronto and Coming Full Circle) That's right. Toronto still has to show you a good time kids! See you tonight! |
| 2nd June 2007 melee | You're right - From: Blog Entry #100: MAD-MIA-YYZ (Madrid to Miami to Toronto and Coming Full Circle) Mamu, it turns out that we did not mention the "this is not a night-club" quote. It was in the Admiral's Club in Terminal A. With all the excess drink coupons, the bartender thought that Meli, Louis, and I were making too many trips to the bar, Louis being the third to arrive. So it was to him that she said "this is not a nightclub, this is a VIP lounge," and she threatened to check into why we had so many drink coupons. (We had so many because they gave us more for a longer layover, and when we went to go get food and re-entered, they gave us even more). |

| 2nd June 2007 meli's mom | "this is not a nighclub" - From: Blog Entry #100: MAD-MIA-YYZ (Madrid to Miami to Toronto and Coming Full Circle) hey! blog #2 does not have that! what was the title of the blog? i went to the one that was on miami... |
| 31st May 2007 Eric | - From: Our Last Day in Europe: Reflections on Madrid Then and Now and a Paseo on Gran Vía--Blog Entry #99 I just spent the last hour slowing reading through and being completely engaged in your Spain blogs. Tons of feelings of nostalgia, both happy and sad filled me as a I read. I enjoyed seeing the familiar spots in Spain, and also felt a sense of loss when you talked about places that no longer exist, or changes that have taken place. It was also moving to hear how your mindset has changed from your 20's to 30's. Thank you both for sharing your worldwide travel experiences and for being an inspiration in my life as well. |
| 31st May 2007 Alea | - From: Sevilla: Surprise Tapas, Reales Alcazares, La Plaza de España, Pintxos y Txakolí, and FC Sevilla vs. Zaragoza I can't believe she tried to argue with you * ARGH* Hurry up, soccer, and GROW in the US-- the shots of the game look so exciting. Salud! |

| 30th May 2007 Alea | Alea's an idiot - From: Ahmond Shleevers, Heineken Beer, and The Denial of Anne Frank ok, when i was younger i thought heneiken was a Virgin Islands beer-- it was the only respected drink (outside of rum), there were calypso odes to it, it had its own patois name... of course, makes sense since the VI was owned by the dutch for eons (Gade anyone??)- but yeah, my dumb moment. great blogging! |

| 30th May 2007 Eric | - From: Athens to Madrid: From Parthenon to Tortilla Española at La Trucha in Madrid Melissa, I can't wait to read the rest of your Madrid blogs. When you mentioned the man in 1998 who said, "Eres como una fantasma" it moved me because I know that's how I would feel if I went back after our awesome 97 trip. Hopefully, you will be able to relive it this time in a new light. I am sure you will, and can't wait to hear all about it! |
