| 16th November 2006 Becky aka The Little Girl Across the Street | Oh the architecture! - From: Eastern Europe: Romania and Hungary (with a little stop in Vienna) Your blogs have been keeping me in stitches, what situation will they narrowly get out of next time? And I must say your little building lessons have been quite enjoyable. It draws me back to my architecture history classes. Oh the days. Anyway, keep up the travels and the blogs. And hopefully you will find yourselves back in L.A. |
| 16th November 2006 ozan | hello - From: Eastern Europe: Romania and Hungary (with a little stop in Vienna) its really nice experience. thanx for sharing |
| 14th November 2006 Kim & Bill | Love it! - From: Eastern Europe: Romania and Hungary (with a little stop in Vienna) Sure enjoy reading about your travels. I am so envious. The pictures are awesome. |
| 13th November 2006 Laila | um, hello......that's art - From: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland: Scandinavia in 7 Days—It can be done! (Although, if you have the time and the money, Scandinavia is worthy of a longer stay.) Ahhhh, there's nothing like traveling abroad to a sophisticated European country and getting your picture taken while straddling sculpture. |
| 13th November 2006 Kari Kay | - From: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland: Scandinavia in 7 Days—It can be done! (Although, if you have the time and the money, Scandinavia is worthy of a longer stay.) Hei! Scandinavia is close to my heart, so I am glad you enjoyed Norway and Finland! I am surprised that you were not so happy in Turku. On a sunny day, it's great to hire a bike and just peddle round the town in your own time. There is quite alot going on near the river during the summer months. One more thing, very important! Aurland is a small part of the much bigger Sognefjord! Spending so much time there, it is important that you get the name right! Otherwise, glad you enjoyed you time there and you have some great photos! |
| 13th November 2006 Deanna | Aunt - From: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland: Scandinavia in 7 Days—It can be done! (Although, if you have the time and the money, Scandinavia is worthy of a longer stay.) I really appreciate all of the pictures. It is fun seeing all of these places. I am sure I will never see them. So at least I can enjoy the pictures. Both of you take care of yourselves! I love you Deannna |

Keep up the travels, I hope you make it all the way!!! |

| 28th August 2006 Mary (Mom) Wright | Beer... - From: Bavarian Germany and Austria: Willkommen aus Deutschland Wow... those beer appear quite substantial... I think you could get four hasher down-downs awarded with one stein/mug/jug (what do they call those, anyway?). Couldn't tell if Ben was napping or listenting for the ocean. It all looks like fun. On-on! |

| 15th August 2006 Dustin | What are the odds - From: Italy: When in Rome...and Firenze, Pisa, Venezia, Pompeii, etc. I've been living in Italy for the last little while and lately i've been reading random travelblogs, some of which include yours. I had no idea you were coming to Italy (not that i'm one of those stalkers that would search you out) but had I ran into you it would have been funny. As I read it I realized it was past tense, so you'd obviously came and went however looking down the pictures shows you met my boss and co worker Tad and Chris. We work together for Romeing tours. What are the odds. Good luck on your travels. |
| 14th August 2006 Ashley | Italia! - From: Italy: When in Rome...and Firenze, Pisa, Venezia, Pompeii, etc. Guys, how fun is this?! (Except, Heather, I am sorry to see your feet have finally met their match...) Keep on keepin' on, you two, but watch out for those pigeons. |

You took some great pictures in Italy. Can't wait to see what kind of trouble you'll both get into once in Germany! Michael |
| 14th August 2006 Erika | Italy... - From: Italy: When in Rome...and Firenze, Pisa, Venezia, Pompeii, etc. Hi guys, I am glad to hear that you survived Italy. It was fun to see your pics. We have some fun memories from Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, and Pompeii. Jason got pooped on in San Marco's Square and Florence was one of our favorite places of all time. If we ever do venture back to Italy it will be to Florence and maybe a bit of Rome. It's always fun to read your blog! TTYL |

But the seagulls is another story... at least it was "just" the arm - hair... face... much worse. Too bad the seagulls couldn't whitewash the graffitti on the wall behind - guess it's a universal problem... or at least a global problem. Keep smiling... On-on! ;-) |

After years of ignoring your requests for me to read the Divinci Code they finally made a movie so that non-readers like myself could finally understand what your years of Divinci blabber was all about. Well I gotta tell ya, I didn't like it one bit! God Damn that Sacrilege filth! How is that for a review? Now for the generic "you-have-heard-this-before" comment: It looks like you guys are having fun and that couchsurfing site sounds like a great resource. But, trust me (I am speaking from experience here) after you sleep on Gaylord Manschlave's (get it "man-slave" ha ha) couch in Berlin you will want to reconsider this whole internet sleep-over thing. love ya bunches of bunnys and sugerplum fairies -fred |

| 10th February 2006 Shelley | - From: Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer in the dell Hey Guys- what an adventure. Hearing your car stories brings me right back to when I lived in Costa Rica--alot of the same issues. When you see the road conditions there, you start to not feel so bad about paying taxes back here in the states. It sounds like you are having the time of your life and I am so happy that you are having this experience. You will never forget it. Keep sending the blogs that are so enjoyable. Take care! |

| 29th December 2005 Mary Wright (Mom) | A Day Between Christmas and New Years - From: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Hi! Miss you much! I think I'll send you a care package of chocolates since you are probably going through withdrawals. I'll also send a photo disk of holiday photos, which aren't nearly as neat as these here on the Blog. But they are a little glimpse back to Spokane - and another non-white Christmas. Sigh! And it looked sooo good a week before. Happy New Year! |
| 28th December 2005 Patrick | - From: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Hey guys, it sounds like you had quite a holiday! We definately missed you here, but were very pleased to hear your holiday was so good. Crystal, Mary, and I took the Dunaway kids on Friday while Matt & Stacy were working to kick off the holiday's. We all went to see Narnia, which was good and long. After about 3 hours & a gallon of Sprite I was ready for it to end. We did have dreams of an outside activity in the snow, but the pouring rain took care of that and turned events indoors. We then headed North to Bonners to spend time with my parents, my brother, and his family, which was very fun. It was so fun to see the kids rip into the presents and send the wrapping paper flying! I'm already sick of winter. We had a deep freeze which lasted about 3 weeks and each day warmed up to about 20 degrees. Brrr! Now it's raining, sloppy, and muddy, but we are supposed to get some more snow soon. I am already thinking about our annual rock climbing trip to the desert, and this year we are looking into possible alternatives to Red Rocks, which may take us to Moab. However, if we do go to Vegas again we will catch Avenue Q. On Jan 7th Mary, Larry, Crystal, and I are all headed to the Opera House to see Mamma Mia and a fun filled night of Abba. Sweet! Anyway... Love the travel blog updates, which sort of satisfy my voyeristic needs, so thanks for that. See ya! -p |
