| 9th March 2009 Your EX Trini Shadow | CONGRATULATIONS! DEO GRATIAS! - From: A Dream in Retrospect Greetings Shanna and Vibert, What more can I say that I have not said ever since the adventure (yours and mine) started? CONGRATULATIONS! THANKS BE TO GOD! I will always be grateful to Suzette for introducing me to your travel blogs as they have given me so many countless hours, weeks and months of enjoyment in one form or another. I have never met Vibert, yet I feel that he is as much a friend and treasured acquaintance as you are, Shanna. His face has become so familiar from your photos and his personality and "joie de vivre" come across very forcefully. Hold on tight! I hope my husband and I would have the opportunity to welcome and accommodate you both in Trinidad at some time in the not too distant future. Please keep in touch. Now that your (current) travel saga is at an end and you have returned to the real world, I would greatly appreciate if you could e-mail me your present mailing address. I would like to send you a token of my appreciation for making me a part of your exciting world over the last two years and would also be happy to have an idea of how it feels to settle down after successfully following your dream of seeing the world "up close and personal". I leave you with Love, Light, Peace & much Joy. |

| 17th February 2009 Martina | A dream - From: A Dream in Retrospect Hi, It sounds so exciting and such a great experience. The mixture of nature and technology you’ve experienced should have been really interesting. It is a great dream of mine to dive in such crystal clear waters surrounded by all those beautiful animals and corals or ideally, swim with dolphins. I saw the Atomium in one of the pictures which I’ve personally seen several times. Martina |

| 15th January 2009 Dawn Smallwood | Your travels - From: Bangkok in the year 2551 Hello! Is this end of travels? You have done a lot of things on your travels and no doubt the memories will be with you for the rest of your lives. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them. Wishing you all the best! Dawn |
| 14th January 2009 Your "Trini" Shadow | We have indeed journeyed together! - From: Bangkok in the year 2551 My dear, dear friends! I can hardly believe that my last comment was on April 20, 2008. How time flies! I might not have commented since then but I have continued to follow and document your travels most assiduously. I have printed 241 pages of your interesting, well-written, stimulating and informative text, downloaded 4049 of your fabulous (at times mind-boggling) photos and created 20 iPhoto albums all of which I have set to music for my family's personal enjoyment. My thoughts, feelings, criticisms and good wishes have been well documented, now I await "A Dream in Retrospect" with baited breath. May God's love, light, peace and joy cement your relationship for the future as you both have experienced and shared some of His most bountiful gifts over the past months. |
| 13th January 2009 Seung-Hyun Sung | wow, you're great!! - From: Bangkok in the year 2551 if i have a lot of time, i will travel like you. ^^* |
| 12th January 2009 Damien E. Hughes | Close of Chapter 1 - From: Bangkok in the year 2551 The 15-month journey was a wonderful one for those of us who were reading your many triumphs, trials and tribulations. While there was no pomp and circumstance to the close of this journey, I only hope that it is the mere close to Chapter 1 of what will be a wonderful journey through life. I hope that in travelling the world, the two of you have searched each other and found even more reasons to bond closer. My best wishes to both of you as you return to some semblance of normality amidst the world of an economic depression. But alas, for the utopia that we know can exist, we need only return the stories of "two4deroad". |
| 12th January 2009 Mom | Back in time! - From: Bangkok in the year 2551 Hey u two, well you had a trip back in time. That's good. The Nature Reserve is your thing. I love the mode of transportation and your lunch room. All good things must come to an end. I will miss my trips and scenery as I look forward to your retrospect. |

| 3rd January 2009 P'tata nanga Sranang Uma | Great Blog :) - From: Thailand: Ayutthaya-"We Have To Operate!!" WAT? Hi Shanna & Vibert. I discovered this blog a little late. I guess your journey is already finished; the last entry seems to be a while ago? Anyhow it's a great blog, well written plus your choice of countries is surprising too. It must have been a lot of work to maintain this blog. You guys have been in several countries where I've been travelling and backpacking too: Aruba, New York, Suriname, The Netherlands, Greece, South India, Thailand. Your blog and pics bring back happy memories. Within 3 months we will visit Suriname for the 5th time and perhaps we will visit French Guyana or Guyana as well, don’t know yet. I’ve put a link to your blog on the ‘Suriname Dashboard’ on Google Pages if you don’t mind. Greetings from Bakrakondre, Damsko. |

| 2nd December 2008 A | Careless Humans - From: Jiuzhaigou: A fairy-tale in real life "But the bus wouldn't stop because the overhanging wall of stone was too dangerous, they said. Determined not to miss one of the reserve's best views, we scrambled up the mountainside, grabbing vines for support, digging our toes into the decaying leaves and mud and dodging loose boulders........" "......We thought that Jiuzhaigou seemed like how the world used to be before the smoke stacks and the chainsaws, the plastics bags and the careless humans." Darn those careless humans. |

| 13th May 2008 buju | welcome - From: A Tale of Two Cities welcome to india guys.. i am sorry u guys had to face the discriminations, its a sort of a colonial hangover we have yet to get rid off !! its rampant in our society , but hope that doesnt spoil your stay and keep u from the better and beautiful things here.. keep bloggin .. just love reading them ! |
| 13th May 2008 Cuckoo | - From: A Tale of Two Cities Nice to read your account on India, especially Delhi. I am a Delhite myself and understand what kind of problems a foreigner can face here. Also, coming from them it gives a very different perspective to the place which we at home take for granted. Yes, the discrimination happened on the basis of color because they didn't want to face any problems. The blacks of Africa (most of the time) are involved in drug trafficking and then the hotel owners are questioned for it. I wish I was with you people to guide you throughout India and much more. I have started liking this site. I myself blog about my experiences here. Would like to be a part of this place. |
| 12th May 2008 Sulaika | Wish I was there ............ - From: A Tale of Two Cities Hey Vibert & Seana, Well it has been a long time that you guys heard from me.

Well enjoy for me too. Love you lots, lots of hugs and take care of eachother. Sulaika |

| 12th April 2008 Your "Trini" Shadow | 2 little birds - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod A wonderful example of desert camouflage plumage! Do you know the name of the birds? A masterpiece in photography! This one gets my special award for "Nature Photo of the Tour". Just don't ask how long it took me to locate them :-)) |
| 12th April 2008 Your "Trini" Shadow | FANTABULOUS! - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod Hi there S & V! My previous comment was an instant "knee-jerk" reaction. Now that I have had time to savour the narrative, to share your desert experience, to recall my own 1999 camel-ride in Egypt (very brief but totally awesome) and set your marvellous photos to slide-show music (sorry! I couldn't find "Buffalo Soldier" in Hindi in my music library :-)), the initial reaction has definitely been confirmed. Now on the lighter side ....... I must confess that as a true "Mac-aholic" I CRINGED at sight of your word "Ipod". No, no, no, my dears! NEVER "Ipod"! ALWAYS "iPod"! Consider ... iMac & iLife & iMovie & iDVD & iTunes & iPhoto & iPhone & iBook and iBall ... oops! sorry!... I guess that last one should be "eyeball" :-)) but you get the picture! Well, like the "Mac-maniac" that I am, I sometimes tend to go over-board about things Mac so I hope you will forgive my criticism because, as I love to say, "my Mac is the Apple of my i" :-)) Duh!! Just jesting! I hope you subscribe to the popular theory that "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men" :D So "wise-guys" keep on keeping-on with Love, Light, Peace and much Joy. |
| 11th April 2008 Tina | - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod How you keep up with that heat?? Love the eye of the tiger and the picture of Shanna and her travel companion (nothing but Love). |
| 11th April 2008 Mom | I love the camels! - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod Hey youtwo, this was one exciting part of my journey with you in the desert. Was that really the camel's belly button? I imagine eating a full meal and seeing someone with a cell phone in the desert. This trip was fun. |
| 11th April 2008 Shana | Awesome - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod I cant believe i'm about to say this but the camel does look cute...lawd...LOL. I could see the faraway look too...sometimes the shortest moments touch us the deepest and are always more difficult to let go. Thanks for making me a part of this journey guys. God bless |
| 11th April 2008 Nadia | Camel ride - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod Is the camel ride like a ride on a donkey? I've always wondered. The saddle looks real comfortable. |
| 11th April 2008 Your Trini "Shadow" | Here comes the "F" word! - From: Jaisalmer: My Camel for your iPod FANTABULOUS!! |
| 6th April 2008 LS | I HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE - From: Singapore: 4œ Hi there, I just want to share my story which is similar to yourself. A week ago I was supposed to do a stopover overnight holiday in Singapore as the airlines transit there. Well let's start with my outbound trip. This is my long awaited holiday. The first visit is Singapore. I arrived 6am and immigration officer stamp my passport with pass to enter singapore. There i spent one day (12 hours) shopping and eating around Orchard then go back to airport and continue my journey (all smooth and no issue). Inbound travel back to where I live three weeks later. I have two boarding passes printed by the airline from the departed country and have hotel booked in Orchard area for 1 night only as my connecting flight scheduled the next evening (i want to stay over as well). Arrived Changi at 12pm. All my luggage already checked to my destination country (not collectable in Sing). At immigration checkpoint the officer referred me to his supervisor. Spoke with the supervisor who ask me that i can not enter singapore because my passport expire in 1 month time (i realise this and plan to extend soon as i get back). I argue that few weeks back the immigration allow me to go out. Talking with this guy is like talking with the brick wall. He would not listen to my argument. I showed him all my hotel reservation as well as my connecting boarding pass. He does not seem care and said i have to be deported back to the country where i just came. Ok waited until 1pm. The airline guy come to me asking if it's ok to change my ticket back to country where i just visited and i said no and i insisted that the airline fly me back to where i live. waited another 30 minutes. this time the airport police come to me and ask me to follow him to wait at his office. Well i thought that the airline guy is going to arrange something for me and rather than me waiting at check point they want me to wait at their office. I said OK then i followed the airport police officer. Then i told him that i want to make a phone call to some friend that already awaited for me in Singapore and also to let my family knows that i already arrived in Singapore. THe officer said no and told me that i'm not allowed to make a phone call!! I was surprised and i insisted again. He then said that he need to get permission from the immigration officer. I'm just getting uncomfortable and told him ok to find out from the immigration guy. The officer got the permission and only allowed to make two phone call which i have to pay for it (not from their office). I called my friend in Singapore informed them that i could not enter singapore and also told my family overseas that i may get deported back and ask them to pick me up at the airport. Then I got into this so called office. Apparently it's their detention centre!!! they searched me and stored all my stuff in the locker before getting in. i couldnt bring anything. Then inside it was like a prison. there were no window. the toilet is filthy. there were bedrooms with few bunkbeads but really smelly and all the beds have mould. Now i feel like a nobody and no one would listen to me. I waited patiently for 3 hours as the police officer told me before that they will give me an update in two hours time. Nothing happen. I asked the officer overthere which all not helpful and unfriendly which said that no one has called regarding my case. OK. it's 5 pm now. it's been 5 hours i'm in this detention room that full of people from africa, india, and china (i don't know why they are here but i learnt some already stayed for days!!!). i approached the officer again and asking an update. She probably get irritated and told me to just wait like the rest!. I'm getting nervous and afraid as no-one knows that im here and i couldnot make any communication to outside world. Then there's another officer come from their office (probably after seeing my argument with the other officer) and told me i will be send to the country where i live tonite at 9 pm. OK thanks God i feel relieved. and i sat again waiting. 8.45pm the officer called my name and told me to follow her. She escorted me to the airplane! i felt like a criminal! I dont even have my passport back. At the flight i vomited few times as i felt really sick to what has happened to me. Arrived at 6am. even the stewardess treated me like im a criminal. dont they have to be friendly? they told me not to leave my seat until everyone is got out the plane. ok i followed them. then once everyone got out the asked me to follow them to meet the ground staff. outside the plane the ground staff then handed me my passport and told me that im now free to go. ????? Am I a criminal???? What did I do so badly that i get this treatment???? Now that i'm safe here i really don't want to ever go visit Singapore again!!!! First time in my life i was in prison for nearly 9 hours!!!!!!! |

May I say that, to me, Udaipur has taken my breath away as it obviously did yours! It seems to have put the spark back in your narrative, the smiles back on your faces and I could once more sense your "joie de vivre" in your "Happy, happy, joy, joy" photo. WELCOME BACK! Umm.... your appetites seem to have increased as well? :-)) Watch the weight! May you continue to be blessed as you travel on with Love, Light & Peace. |

| 26th February 2008 rimini hotel | incredible.... - From: Goa: A little less and a whole lot more amazing there guys.... |
| 25th February 2008 Patricio | Sao Tome, even if in India - From: Goa: A little less and a whole lot more I have followed this dream now materialized a great deal, from its inception. Your great and inspirational weekly updates for the miles covered and imaginaries discovered take the rest of us along in this scenic world trip from the very comfort of our homes or offices. I recall having suggested to you the possibility to include my hometown - Săo Tomé in your itinerary and profit from it to visit the entire island state - Săo Tomé and Prínipe. After deep and thoughtful considerations multiple constraints, mainly due to the insularity and poor connections with the rest of the world forced you to postpone the visit. But, tricky and adventurous as you are, you managed to find Săo Tomé, but of course in Goa. Obviously, the time and the space have to collapse, otherwise that wouldn’t be possible. Keep up and GOOD LUCK!!! |
| 25th February 2008 jeromee | Hey - From: Goa: A little less and a whole lot more You two seem to be having a blast there! If chance permits, i might even bump into you somewhere in India. |

| 11th February 2008 Claire & James | Don't let this get you down! - From: Singapore: 4œ Hi Shanna/Vibe, Sorry this had to happen to you guys after all the wonderful experiences you had till now! Your story was so frightening!! I can imagine what you went through Shanna seeing Vibe being taken away and staying back all alone, terrible! Thank God He came back to you safely! Shanna and Vibe, remember all the wonderful people you guys met elsewhere! Build on your happy memories of nice, loving people. We are glad to hear that you "prayed". That is the only thing that keeps us safe in a world full of unfair, frustrated and deceitful people. We do hope that you will keep enjoying the rest of your adventures as you were before. Don't let such an event get you down! Keep up your positive spirits and be safe on the rest of your journey. Also remember to keep praying! Not only when you are in trouble but be thankful daily for all the wonderful people you meet and beautiful places you see. Keep being positive and all will be well!! Love, Claire and James |

| 10th February 2008 Jimmy | Sounds...like... - From: Singapore: 4œ Shanna & Vibe, What a drama......Sounds like entering St. Vincent.... People don't have to have a reason to treat you like that...Some times you are in the wrong place at the wrong time...I guess Officer G had just lost his job to black man...or had never travelled before.... Anyway, we are happy to hear that you are ok...keeping on moving...keep on writing...............down let this " thing" stop your adventure... God bless Jim & Mirella |

| 10th February 2008 Deb Jack | Too Bad - From: Singapore: 4œ Sorry you had to endure that. Been through the twilight zone of Immigration myself. The helplessness and fear over the control one person has is daunting. You feel the weight and force of that government behind the creepy officer. BUT you guys keep your heads up and keep praying you have a bigger and more powerful army with/behind you, and you have each other. i was moved by your commitment to each other. go well. |
| 10th February 2008 Nadia | Moving right along! - From: Singapore: 4œ I'm considering this a small bump in the road. I hope you guys are too. Onward to bigger and better places. |

Is this for real ? or is it some sort of a joke or story you made up ? If it's real, you can and you should write to the press in Singapore - The Straits Times. The authority WILL investigate and gives you JUSTICE. Unless you have some sort of criminal records or has been suspected of terrorism or other serious crimes, you won't be treated like the way you said you did. Did you miss out anything significant in your story? What's country X ? Myanmar? |
| 9th February 2008 Cliff | - From: Singapore: 4œ I love Singapore. |
| 9th February 2008 derek nievergelt | I've seldomly heard good things about Singapore - From: Singapore: 4œ My parents lived there for work twice in the last 10 years for little under a year each time and both dislike the social control the Singaporian Gov't holds over it's citizens. Sounds rough. I meant to ask you your experiences in Asia for things like this. Sarah and I are back in NYC freezing our tail feathers off. I still wish I was you. Traveling the world making all sorts of experiences. I wish we coulda spent some more time together as to hear all your wonderful stories. Guess I'll just have ta read about it.. |
| 9th February 2008 Your "Trini" Shadow | 4œ out of approx. 6,200 - not bad, really! - From: Singapore: 4œ "Shanna feels helpless. She PRAYS." "Inside, Vibert PRAYS silently". Yes, my friends, the formula never fails - you are positively on the right track and you are being guided by Love, Light & Peace. Despite your ordeal (or maybe because of it), you have maintained your flair for reporting and have added a new and interesting dimension to the narrative - the film script - (Sutherland eat your heart out!) :-)) We love it and look forward to your next "port-of-call". |
| 9th February 2008 annelies | terrible!! - From: Singapore: 4œ Hi Shaan/Vibert, What an awful experience! Hope you guys recovered well from this nightmare. And Singapore is so famous for it's nice attitude towards foreigners! If this had happened in some African country (no prejudice here, but from stories I have heard from the horse's mouth) I could understand, because then you should have known that the immigration officer wanted money. It's that simple! But Singapore!! F... them!! Sorry, but I am still very upset that Vibert was treated in such a manner, without any reason, and that you Shanna had to go through this without him being around. The bastards! Boycot Singapore:-) :-) Lots of love! Annelies |
| 9th February 2008 Tina | 41/2 hours detention. - From: Singapore: 4œ I was so excited to hear about this trip only to hear what you two went through. Thats sad, I'm glad you did not go do any shopping either, they don't deserve your hard earned money at all. Take care you two. |
| 9th February 2008 Elouise | drama... - From: Singapore: 4œ Without drama your trip won't be as exciting and talkable...but such airport drama is not what you want.Sorry you guys went through that, but why did they hold you for that long? that suspence is still there.You guys be careful and i can't wait to get your net blog. |
| 3rd February 2008 Your "Trini" Shadow | Lasting Treasures - From: Outro: Is China 'China' in Chinese? My dear friends, That was a grand finale and a masterful précis of your China experience. Wherever your travels take you, no matter how spectacular the scenery, how glorious the sunrises, sunsets and moonlights, how delectable the food or fabulous the entertainment, these tangibles must, of necessity, be left behind. I agree that the greatest "treasures" that China or any other place has to offer are its people and the genuine friendships that can remain with you, sometimes, for the rest of your life. Your latest album says it all. Keep on keeping on with Love, Light & Peace. |

| 21st January 2008 Mom! | China, unforgetable! - From: Beijing: Of Walls, Palaces and Forbidden Cities Hey you too! I really enjoyed our visit to China, the pictures were very clean and clear. You are now officially RM and GRM. I loved the excitment and I am sure that both of you had Daryl's heart in his hand wondering where you were some days. He lives in China but you saw China. Love Mom. |
| 20th January 2008 Your "Trini" Shadow | Some Other Statistics - From: Beijing: Of Walls, Palaces and Forbidden Cities Hi Guys! Had a few moments to spare yesterday so I thought I would check your stats on the travelblog.org/Bloggers/two4deroad site. The site shows Photos: 2,970 as compared to my albums' total of 2,787 downloads. Well here's what I discovered .... included among the 2,970 count are 180 duplicates RECOVERED after the travelblog server crash last year (1) Overland to Srangang Tongo - 71; (2) The Melting Pot - 20; (3) Brownsberg's Tops & flops - 56; (4) Suriname YWCA - 33. The other 3 items were random duplicates on some of your other blogs. It was really fun trying to sort out the discrepancy and I THINK I got it right so I figured I might just as well share my findings with you in case you or anyone else wondered :-)) Keep on travelling with Love, Light & Peace. |
| 18th January 2008 vanessa huburt | guyana is a very beautiful country but the wealth that it has is not going towards the people of Guyana so that the country will be better for the citizens - From: Guyana: The Arrival and Linden's Lure Its kool to be home |

| 17th January 2008 Your Trini "Shadow" | Keep Them Coming - From: Beijing: Of Walls, Palaces and Forbidden Cities My dear friends, while you "happy wanderers" are scaling to great heights (Great Walls) and doing Flying Fox imitations, zip-lining above swift-flowing rivers, some of us "mere mortals" still have to earn a living, however mundane :-)) But please keep the adventures rolling, the narrative flowing and the photos & videos coming. I can barely find time now to print the text (150 pages), down-load the fantastic photos (2, 775) and create my albums and slide-shows but I'm persevering and looking forward to really savouring it all at leisure after my April 30th TAX deadline assignments. My comments may be few for the time being but my prayers are always with you and I'll be following you with Love, Light & Peace. |
| 17th January 2008 Nick Codd | Hey there.

| 14th January 2008 Mom! | Extraordinary! - From: Xian: A formidable Army made of Terracotta The Terracotta warriors are indeed extraordinary. That no two warriors were alike is surely something worthy to see. This was a ruler who made sure that he was protected in death. |
| 14th January 2008 ADA | - From: Xian: A formidable Army made of Terracotta HAPPY NEW YEAR VIBES AND SHANNA. We wish you all health, strength, prosperity in all good works. Bless you. Keep enjoying your tour... Ada, Mors |

Hope that next time you can come to China without being troubled by such heavy things. |
| 12th January 2008 Tyrone | Those warriors and..... - From: Xian: A formidable Army made of Terracotta Its not too late to say hapy new year from us. It was quickly back to the ole grine stone for us after xmas. Did you have to pay to see those warriors? That entire was on display here at a prominent London musuem but the ticket price for family was slightly beyond the depts of our pockets. The fact that no no warriors are exactly alike as well as the atantion to detail is truely remarkable |

| 26th November 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Now it's your turn! - From: Yangshuo: Lasting Impressions I dare say "There's nothing NEW under the sun" :-)) Your Yangshou experiences bring back amusing memories of the incredible ogling, skin-rubbing, hair-touching affair in Venice in 1976 and the picture-posing sessions with the school-girls in Japan in 1983. Ah yes! Things change even as they remain the same! Bon Voyage! |
| 26th November 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Yessss! Worth the wait! - From: Yangshuo: Lasting Impressions Yes, my friends, Yangshou was well worth the wait and the suspense to us too. Like Guyana's "El Dorado Rum" and "El Dorado Cream Liqueur", your world adventures, your narrative style and your photos are improving with age and like the world-renowned EDR you guys deserve all kinds of awards.

| 23rd November 2007 Damien | "ÎI4-ę - From: World, Meet China !! Just as Von Goethe suggested many moons ago, I admonish you guys to continue to "Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, for it is always interesting." I am sure that through all the changing scenery and explorations you have realised and will agree that the universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. As you continue on your journey, remember the words of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross who said, "It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had." Do conitnue to live life to the fullest because it is only in adventure that people succeed in knowing themselves and in finding themselves. |

Heb bijna besloten mijn ticket naar Suriname (15 december) te annuleren (ik ken dat toch al!!) en een retourtje Macau te boeken, maar ik ga voor een huwelijk en als het goed is, is dat eenmalig. Jeetje, wat ziet dat er sophisticated uit (op de foto's althans). Over Macau moet je me live veel meer vertellen! Liefs en kusjes voor jou en Vibe! Annelies |
| 11th November 2007 Cliff Chan | - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude Hi Shanna & Vibert, it's truly a shame we didn't manage to meet in Amsterdam and just 'missed' each other in Hong Kong! Have fun in Asia and I'm sure we'll catch up some time some place in the world ;-) |
| 11th November 2007 Chris Lewis | very interesting culture - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude I am very thrilled, just reading about your hong Kong experience. Imagine what the first hand experience must be like. Contiue to enjoy the beauty of the various cultures |
| 11th November 2007 Justin | Woman with a very big knife - From: Adventure in a tin can I watched the video of the bus stuck on the tree. My favorite part was that while the bus was trying to drive up the ramp, Shanna is still walking around with a machete in her hand! What a trooper! Shanna, you looked a bit attached to the thing. Vibert you might have to buy Shanna a machete for Christmas when you all get back. :P |
| 10th November 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | The same but vastly different - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude I love the dramatic contrast of your "daytime/night-time" shots of that Hong Kong Island skyscraper taken from the same spot at the same angle. On the whole, the quality of your photos- and especially the night shots - seems to have improved immensely since you got your new camera from SXM. With Shanna's underwater camera now repaired we are looking forward to your next foray into the deep, wherever in the world that might be :-) Take care and God bless with love, light & peace. |
| 9th November 2007 Luo Tingli | - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude It seems that metropolises all arround the world are quite alike in their appearances such as skyscrapers and highways,except for their unique features.doesn't it? |
| 8th November 2007 annelies | Hong Kong!!! - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude Hi Shaan, Ik lig in een deuk! Jullie zijn nu helemaal in Hong Kong. Heerlijk! Hoop dat ik je wel zie wanneer je weer 'even langs wipt' in Amsterdam. Genieten jullie maar flink. Liefs! Annelies |
| 8th November 2007 Nadia | Never a dull moment - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude Love the pics. The hotel seems really pragmatic. But I guess why waste space when you have billions of people to think about. Stay safe! |
| 8th November 2007 ria Uiterloo | Gedraag je en beheers je "switi Njang dape toch) - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude Dag lieverd, Ik mis je. Heb je toverkracht. Doe gauw wat dat ik bij kan staan. Zeg maar tgen Vibert dat ik geen "third wheel" wil zijn, maar ik verlang naar die gezelligheid. Fenna en ik hebben met de Girlpower team de trainers of facilitators getraind. Ze hebben gisteren hun certificaat gehad. De Youth consultation is volgende week vrijdag. kortom het is een gekkenhuis. Vandaar dat gemis! Love you guys! Fenna en Maria wil weten wanneer je deze kant op komt. Ria |

| 8th November 2007 kaila | finally pics of china. - From: Hong Kong: Smog, Neon and a whole lot of Attitude hey folks, Finally i get to see pics of Hong Kong but for some reason i thought that central china / hong kong would be bigger. i hoped you'll might have gotten a picture of that person trying to rub Vibes skin to try to get off the colour :) that you told me about.

| 7th November 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Traveller Update - From: Quintessential London Hi there! Your hardcore backpacking "amigo", Lasse, actually made his appearance in the "MOTORBIKE HEAVEN" blog - the prelude to "On The Trail of Juan Pablo Duarte". I think it quite an amazing coincidence your meeting up with him in London after so many months and so many miles of adventure. I do hope he finds the "direction in his life" which he seeks on his travels and I wish him - as I do you both - love, light & peace always and all ways. |
| 5th November 2007 Tyrone | - From: Quintessential London Looks like the sun shone for your few hours in London. All the best on the next leg of Gulliver travels. Check out Goa in India. With your permission, can i send this page to Rawle? |
| 5th November 2007 Mom | Podders! - From: Quintessential London Hi,2forderoad, once again the pictues are marvellous, I have to take a trip to London. I love chip but I love the POdders more because I see both of you looking very well. Keep sweet and keep the pictures coming Bye. |
| 3rd November 2007 Kidd | Perfect World Tour! - From: Quintessential London I admire you for having been to so many countries! You also present so many beautiful photos from which I know many other countries’ sight and culture. Thank you! And I hope one day I could tour world as you! |
| 3rd November 2007 Luo Tingli | So nice! - From: The Colorfully Wonderful Architecture of Curacao The colors are tremendously lovely! Love the buildings! The styles of the architecture are fabulous,too! |
| 3rd November 2007 Luotingli | It's very nice! - From: Quintessential London Oh! What an exciting travel you have had! I hope come day I can go there too. It seems that London is very clean and the weather there is quite good,doesn't it? I like the blue sky very much with the clouds very snow white. |
| 2nd November 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | A Different Perspective - From: Quintessential London Greetings folks! Unlike Brussels, I cannot sincerely use the word "Memories" because in terms of 1976 or 1980 you have certainly presented "London From A Different Perspective" thanks to the Eye on the River Thames. Those bird's-eye views of London will form a wonderful part of your (and my) treasure-trove of photographic records of your world tour. Nevertheless, CHIP takes the prize:D With Lasse's experience in mind I will continue to pray that God will guide you both with Love, Light & Peace. |
| 1st November 2007 Glenville | Bath - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales If I knew you were heading to Bath, I could hook you up on some free burgers. Don't know if you came accross a place called "Manhattan". Owned & operated by Roxy's cousins. |
| 31st October 2007 Tyrone | - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales Lovely, just absolutely lovely mate. Even the Welsh Tourist Board would be proud mate. |
| 31st October 2007 Mom | Realllllly Historicccc! - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales Hi guys, I see that you had a very good time again in Wales. I love the best friends and the I have a girlfriend pictures. The poem was something else and I know that you enjoyed climbing the 365steps. Keep sweet. |
| 31st October 2007 Eva | HUG - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales BIG HUG! Pics look amazing! Take care...... |
| 30th October 2007 nyeew | RE: Great Retreat - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales I know that vacations are once a year but looking at the life of a tourist it's not bad to do it year round. Keep up the good work. I am ready to get the pub for the book. Start putting it together. Around the world in 80 days need some rivals. |
| 29th October 2007 Shana | Hey - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales Absolutely beautiful and that poem ohh..great.

Forgive me since school has become selfish and requires most of my time. keep safe |
| 29th October 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Best Friends - From: Tintern Abbey and the wonders of Wales Greetings S&V! In the midst of the sensational setting of Wadsworth's historic Tintern Abbey and the awesome panoramas of Breccon Beacons and the Black Mountains, my vote goes to "Best Friends" ..... confidently striding off into the wilderness with such apparent love, light and peace. Touchingly beautiful!! Worthy of a cover-shot for any book of poems on "Friendship" :-)) |
| 26th October 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Memories - From: Border Hungry The Manneken Pis, the Grand-Place or "Grote Markt" as the Dutch say and the Cathedral of St. Michael & Ste. Gudule bring back fond memories of our 1976 European tour. Thanks for bringing us all the way into the 21st century with those wonderful pictorial views of present-day Brussels. Full marks for Shanna's Panic attack :-)) |

| 25th October 2007 Tina | Border Hungry - From: Border Hungry A bed at last!!! Hope you slept well and late too. Crete was very beutiful, nice place for retirement (don't mind going there right now). Hugs and kisses to you both. |

| 23rd October 2007 Mom | Free Hugs! - From: Finding Netherlands I love the free hugs gesture, I think that Guyana needs some of that right now. I am sending both of you Hugsssssss, feel it, hugssss Mom. |
| 23rd October 2007 Mom | Mom is cute! - From: Finding Netherlands hi Shan, I now know where you got your good-looks from, your mom of course. Looks is if you and vibes have new hair-looks. Netherland remind me a bit of Guyana because in the old days we had a few windmills and clogs because the Dutch was in Guyana for some time. Anyway keep the photos coming luv u both Ma. |
| 23rd October 2007 Milly | - From: Finding Netherlands Hallo lieverds, blijf jullie avonturen sturen zeg aan vibert dat hij een boek kan schrijven zo mooi hoe hij het brengt we genieten er zo van en die prachtige fotos ik was weer even met heiwee in holland snik snik keep up the good work doei love tante milly en oom cary...... |
| 22nd October 2007 Mayra Martina | - From: Finding Netherlands Hi Shanna and Vibert, I am enjoying myself with all the Netherlands pictures. Keep them coming. enjoy and be safe. Love Mayra |
| 22nd October 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Marvellous!! - From: Finding Netherlands Shan & Vibes, at the risk of sounding boring and repetitive ..... so far your World Tour is simply FANTABULOUS!! TEXT: 104 pages of interesting, informative, highly expressive narrative, chock full of geographic and historic data. PHOTOS: 2,008 of the very best!! Using black & white for the "Back in Times" shots was a masterful touch. I was able to utilize iPhoto's "antique effect" to further dramatize the photos with a light sepia tone. "Free As A Bird" gets 115% (VAT inclusive) as we Trinis say :-)) TOUR: Well-paced, sensible style. From the touristy, family-oriented Wales/A'dam, through the frenetic, adrenalin-filled dash accross Crete, to Finding the Netherlands at a quiet, leisurely pace. GREAT!! Consequently, my slide-shows went from Terry Oldfield's haunting "All The Rivers Gold" through the up-beat "Soulful Sounds of Greece" to Joshua Bell's classical "Romance of The Violin". Marvellous! I'm ecstatic! However, friends, remember "It is all God's work" so forge ahead with Love, Light & Peace. |
| 17th October 2007 Mom | I LOOOVE Crete! - From: Crete: Nomads in a strange land Hi utoo, It must be that you are missionaries walking in the land of Paul and Seeing the Cave where John spent his last days. Thanks for taking me there too. IEK-2400 looks sturdy for any trip. You invited everyone to dinner at Dionysos. I love the churches. Shan and vibes both of you are indeed blessed and living life with a passion indeed, LoveMom |
| 17th October 2007 Tyrone | As beautiful as you said it was - From: Crete: Nomads in a strange land Gotta agree with "Your Trini Shadow". The pictures are spectacular. They realy do paint a thousand words. But guess what....your collaborative narration has also improved imensely. Its the stuff of a future masterpeice. Dawn and Ebony sends there regards |
| 17th October 2007 Mom | I Loveeee Crete! - From: Crete: Charms and Challenges Hi twoforderoad, I enjoyed every picture of Crete. Vibes I saw your new best friend and I am sure that Socrates is your friend too. the kommos monster, the sunset and sunrise were beautiful. Were you not afraid that some one would come walking out the tombs, he, he! I am enjoying your tour. Thank Yoou both. |
| 17th October 2007 Alexander | Living the dream - From: Crete: Charms and Challenges I admire you guys for leaving all behind and living your dream. I love all your travel-reports. It reminds me of my 2nd home the Philippines and it also shows that life is not a paved road, but a road in which you can determine your own reaction. I am sure that you guys will come out richer in the sense of quality of life than you can ever imagine. Good luck and may all good things happen to you. |
| 16th October 2007 Merle | Keep going guys - From: Crete: Nomads in a strange land This is a lifetime adventure, I really wish that someday I will be in a position to take a trip like this. Please make the best of what life has to offer and keep sending the photos. |

| 13th October 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Photo Favourites - From: Crete: Nomads in a strange land S&V, Allow me to single out these shots as my favourites for dramatic effect: (1) Curves (2) Arid Beauty (3) Falasarna Sunset & (4) Somewhere Up There. As to the "Source Of Life" .... it's possible that "you never found it" because you searched without while all the time it was (and still is) within - where love, light & peace abound :D |
| 12th October 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | True Adventurers - From: Crete: Nomads in a strange land My friends! Your fearless, liberating, exhilarating (to quote you) IEK-2400 drive across Crete has definitely stamped you both as true adventurers. Should I hear at some future date that "Vibert & Shanna have commandeered a helicopter or a bi-plane or a hot-air balloon and have flown themselves to Timbucktu" I will not bat an eye-lash :-)) "March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path" Kahlil Gibran Love, light & peace always and all ways from Your Trini "Shadow" & family |

| 12th October 2007 Giesla Karansingh | Amazing tour !!! - From: Crete: Nomads in a strange land Waw Shanna, Dit was het meest spannende stuk voor mij om te zien waar jullie zouden belanden. Opvallend is de oude stad met 'nieuwe geasfalteerde wegen". Keep on having fun and enjoy every moment. |
| 8th October 2007 Tina | - From: Crete: A Second 'First' Impression You two could always find the perfect place to go hiking. Love the Octopi, did you get to meet any "Genaro" there in Greece? |
| 3rd October 2007 Mom | Fantastic! - From: Crete: A Second 'First' Impression Hi twoforderoad, I really enjoyed this journey, it was fantastic. I really loved Chania's sunset and the very blue water and everything,everything it was breathtaking to me, what it was for you who saw these wonders. God bless you both, love mom, |
| 1st October 2007 nyeew | RE: Great Escape - From: Crete: A Second 'First' Impression Keep on keeping on. This is a great escape. I hope one day to start my world tour. God bless and this is very inspiring. |
| 29th September 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | "Bonus" Photos - From: Amsterdam: No doubt !! Thanks, S&V, for those "bonus" photos of the Blue Man Group (they certainly weren't there the first time around :-)). The poster read "See Something Amazing" and if the still photos and the expression on Vibert's face are anything to go by, the show itself must have been "something amazing". Keep enjoying the best there is on offer wherever you visit, take care and God bless with love, light & peace. |
| 29th September 2007 Leanda | Amazing!! - From: Amsterdam: No doubt !! Hi guys, Amsterdam is great! I remember being there a few years ago. The bicycle parking garage was a crazy sight....the difference between a café and a coffee shop is at cafés you can get coffee and at coffee shops you can get "special" brownies ;) That's awesome you guys got to see the Blue Man Group, they are absolutely wonderful!! When I saw them I didn't know what to expect and was blown away, really talented performers. Continued fun and safe travels. Leanda |

Very sorry to hear about the Dentist but God sent you both to the right place to have your mouths fixed. Jnr. if you put some outboard engines on those clogs you can surely ride the river in Amsterdam. He! He!I hope to see Amsterdam some day soon. |
| 26th September 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Those Two Magic Words - From: Amsterdam: No doubt !! Hi Guys! Having thoroughly enjoyed my "visit" to Wales, I kept returning to the blog on a daily basis checking for those two magic words in the top right-hand corner. By the 25th, the suspense was killing me and then "voila!!" - NEXT JOURNAL. One deep breath, an exhaled "aahhhhh" and a single "click" took me straight to ... Amsterdam: No Doubt!! No passport, no visa, no air-line ticket, no luggage .... but what a trip! Another high-class blog in the inimitable Vibert&Shanna style... informative and entertaining. The RLD pictures were tastefully presented and the black & white shots of the Rondvaart Views add a nice touch to my photo album. Keep up the good work as you follow your dreams (and we follow you) with Love, Light & Peace. P.S. I selfishly miss at least one video :-)) |
| 25th September 2007 M | Goose, gander or duck.... - From: Amsterdam: No doubt !! A duck, a female duck to be correct. Such lovely creatures. Can't believe I missed your appearance here >_< |

Jammer dat tante Helen geen goede berichten heeft ontvangen, maar ze gaan nu opereren en we houden de moed erin. Genieten jullie flink van wat jullie nog van plan zijn te doen, want je bent maar een keer jong. Love C&M. |

I wish you all the very best, most of all good health and God's blessings, looking at your photographs I know you had quite an experience during the past months. Sorry your journey could not take you to Dominica one more time before your final departure, but I know it was just not possible. I pray that we will meet again some day. Vibert, I just want to say that you are a very special person and deep down in my heart, I know that somewhere along the path you are walking right now there is this door with your name written all over it just waiting for your hands to open it. "God Bless You" continue to carry sunshine wherever you go and diffuse happiness around you. Love Always! MERLE. |
| 5th September 2007 Damien E. Hughes | Sapientia et Doctrina Stabilitas - From: Guyana: Going Out With A Bang! Your decision to live life to uttermost is one that many people never get a chance to do. Your Guyana experience will undoubtedly prepare you for everyting else. After all, you have both acknowledged that only change is constant. However, while this is true, I wish to also give you some advice as you take Wales by storm, "Sapientia et Doctrina Stabilitas" - Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the stability of thy times. So let your travels build your wisdom and let your acquired knowledge bring stability when all else seems unstable. As always, you are in my thoughts and prayers. |

| 6th August 2007 Your Trini "Shadow" | Welcome Back! - From: We're Back!!!! Hi Shan & Vibes, I am at present in Sint Maarten on a 2-week vacation and I sure missed your Blogs. I thought at first that my WiFi connection at the Hotel had gone haywire when I saw the LOST BLOGS. Then I read that the servers on Travelblog.com had crashed and I was really concerned but relieved that I had all the hard-copies and 1,251 photos. Congrats, though, for working so hard to get your blogs back up (whatever the order). At present you are only missing the last four, by my estimation and that's fantastic. I'm glad that you are both safe and well and I look forward to printing your up-coming blogs and creating further albums when i return home on August 11th. May God go with you always. Love, light and peace from us Trinis and from Suzette in SXM |

I hope these YWCA members have passed on the head-wrap secrets to the younger generation as it would be a pity to lose such a wonderful tradition. I missed having some of your video footage on the dance floor and had to be content with mosaic-flip transitions and zouk music in my own slide show. Definitely second-best!

| 12th July 2007 frank | to add comment - From: Suriname: The Melting Pot that is Paramaribo are you kidding? and all this time I was doing difficult to communicate thru skype. You could have told me that the last time (that I can add my comment here) we spoke thru skype and I should have told you also about paramaribo ghost town in the afternoon. Now that you do describe the scenario in the afternoon it is a funny setting but for the surinam people it is normal...but now that I am watching this as an outsider: why are (was I also) they doing that"; running away simultaneously in the afternoon?????? Well, these pictures do bring back old memories. Did yoou ever find the "tigriball" soup? What!!!!! A bike ride at 2 o'clock in the afternoon in surinam...you wanna "bun up" |

Next its the mid-life crisis then before you know it, wham, its generativity versus despair. Ask Pops! Progressing smoothly I see including that rather inspiring piece of modern architecture. Your muchachos/amigos/ gringos must be congratulated on their practicality and ingenuity. Since human beings are accident prone, it must be comforting to have the "dump" so close to your bed. I noticed that birthdays do also bring improved personal appearances. I am keeping track of your progress. Life is sweet |

| 24th May 2007 Damien E. Hughes | Heights Reached By Great Men & Women - From: On the trail of Juan Pablo Duarte Chief, I have been following with much enthusiasm and with much envy your adventure and expedition. I commend you for the bravery, chivalry (running behind the donkey while Shanna rode), adventurous side, as well as your stick-to-it-iveness in pursuing this goal. Your ascent and arrival at Pico Duarte is a testament to the old addage, the heights attained by great men (and women) were not attained by sudden flight, but they while thier companions slept - kept toiling upwards through the night. Both of you epitomise the latin phrase - "Tentanda Via" (i.e. the way must be tried). As you track on, I send God's blessings on you both and may the Holy Spirit protect you in your adventures. If you need an agent to organise the book deal - let me know...I will do it for free. |
