Keep your chin up Hi Erin: just thought you needed a cheerful note telling you how impressed we are with you and all your adventures. You are really looking after yourself and years from now you will laugh over all these things that are happening to you. It shows great character that you can go with the flow and not get down when negative things happen to you. I'm very proud of you, you are handling everything so well. Keep your chin up and continue to look on the bright side of everything.
You sure looked good with your new man (ha ha ha) try and find someone who has some money okay or a least land. continue to take care of yourself and I really am enjoying your travels.
all my love Aunt Mic
AMAZING PICTURES! Hi Erin! Ryan and I are at work (always working diligently, checking out your blogs) and love the pictures, especially of the mummy! We would have loved to see everything in Egypt with you! Of course you're doing an authentic experience unlike those sorry excuse for tourists. I also have to say that I love your garb. You make it look good!! We're thinking of your Erin! Love you! xoxoxo
The Pyramids are Awesome Hi Erin,
I really loved seeing the pyramids and the Sprinx. The mummy makes me think of the movie the Mummy. I loved the picture of you touching the top of the pyramid and the camel ride pic. I can't wait to see you pictures. We will have a great time. Take care. Love you Dad and Mom XXXOOO

yes you are a great Indiana Erin I googled Petra and saw the amazing sites that you toured. I would love to have seen what you did. We look forward to seeing your pictures. You have had a great adventure Erin. It is nice that you had others to tour with you. I printed off your last few blogs and give them to Grandma C. and she really enjoyed reading your blogs. What a brave girl you are and so smart she said. She enjoys getting them to see what you are doing. She said keep safe and enjoy your travels. Love Dad and Mom XXXOOO
NICE GETUP! I was envisioning something horribly worse than the dress you have to wear. Not so bad! I hope it's keeping the unwelcomed men away. Nice teeth indead cab man. Stay safe Erin! LOVE Danielle XOXOXOXO
Love hearing about your travels Erin love hearing about your travels and seeing your pictures. Glad to hear your are enjoying the sites and learning so much. Glad to hear you are keeping yourself safe. You are a brave one! While you are suffering in all the heat, we are getting rain and cool weather - keep the blackflies growing lol - but it is supposed to get much warmer this weekend.
Everyone here is also enjoying your comments on your travels and waiting to see all the pictures you have. I read your blogs to Uncle Glenn and he sure knows a lot about that region over there and I think he would enjoy travelling there - he can't wait to have conversation with you when you return home.
Rachel says hello and keep yourself safe.
Thank you for keeping us in touch with your travels - it is the next best thing to travelling there for us.
Take care of yourself and keep safe. Love Aunt Marlene
Erin, I am living through your travels right now. Everywhere you've been seems amazing. I'm sitting in Bracebridge wishing I was with you experiencing all that you are. Us girls talk about your travels. We have been reading and keeping up to date about where you are from your blogs....it's like "Where in the world in Carmen Sandeigo", except it's Erin Whipp! I'm so proud of you, and can't wait to see you and hear about all of your adventures in more detail!! Keep safe! XOXOX
Every adventure gets so much better, what a quick mind you have. Hi Erin,
I really enjoyed this adventure you had, each one gets better ever time. Good thing you have a smart Whipp brain and good looks to get you through things. I like your Middle east look and I am so glad you have a quick brain to get you out of situations like the camel driver. The ampitheatre looks great, many nice sites you see. Take care. Love you. Dad and Mom XXXOOO
It sounds like you are continuing to have such adventures. You just never know what you'll find in open doorways...ICK! I would have loved to see the castle. How nice for you that it was quite authentic. I'm also glad to hear you are meeting many friends along the way to enjoy your sight-seeing with. I'm surprised to hear you're missing Korean food! I bet yoy're REALLY missing Canadian food :D Ryan has been hoping you'll learn some interesting receipies to bring home to us. MISS YOU!
Beautiful I love the pictures, and your stories are great. Someday I'll do travel the way you do... until then I'll just have to explore Korea. Keep up the great blogs.
So Interesting Hi, I'm a teacher in Seoul and for my summer break I was thinking that we (me and my hubby) might go to Mongolia. We may now have settled on going to Moscow instead, but its really interesting to read about it. I love your blogs!
Have I told you lately how impressed I am with you?? This whole trip is so amazing!! I would never dream of visiting most of the places you have been, let alone do it on my own! You are pretty awesome! I feel like I should break into a Bette Midler song right about now.....
Keep safe, and keep updating! I am always so thrilled to see when there is a new entry so I can be a little more educated about the ways of the world!
Take care XOXO
Quite the tree house Heh girlie,
Love the blogs. What a great trip so far! Remember you learn something from every encounter, even if it is not to do it again. Keep safe. The ring was a great idea. Hope it deters those men. In Portugal, I hear it is butt pinching you have to watch out for, so proposals in turkey aren't so bad, n'est pas? Too bad your tree house was so dilapitated and I can see why it would be cold. We stayed in one in Belize, but it had a full comfy bed and temp was 80 degrees. But when travelling, cheap is good, so stay healthy, eat soups and fruit and stay well.
Love Auntie Jocee and Uncle Bob
Great pictures of the Mediterranean Sea Hi Erin,
Hope you are feeling better this evening. These pictures of the Mediterranean and Olympos ruins were great. The traverines are something to see too. The tree house looks like fun but to bad it gets cold at night. It looks like something you build when you were young. Take care. Great better. Love Dad and Mom XXXXOOO
Hello Erin! I feel happy to know that you are doing well in all the places that you have been visiting. Although I was a little nervous when I read your stories when you were back in Russia, let me tell you.
It is certainly an amazing trip, keep on going and thanks for keeping us posted!
Love the Tree House! Hey Whippo! Glad you have been getting some pictures up! I am still amazed about everything you know and everything you are learning as you travel! Thanks for another great update! I hope you feel better soon too! Pump the vitamin C into you for a couple more days! :) love you miss you xo An
have I told you how cool these blogs are! you know me and communication - and I read these everyday they come . . I even save them for last - I always save the best for last!
The Treeforts are awesome! that is what Rich was telling me about!
So Jeslous.
Love the pictures Hi Erin
We love your travel blog, it is great to view pictures of your adventure. We are enjoying traveling with you. You are an amazing person.
I'm a 24 year old Canadian planning a trip from Seoul, Korea (where I've been teaching/working for 8 months) to China to where I will take the Trans-Siberian, through Mongolia, to Russia. From Moscow, I will travel to the Middle East, to Africa, to India, then to Southeast Asia, I will then return to Seoul, for a flight to Canada in September 2008. I will be travelling alone, but will likely meet some friends along the way. I'm excited for this amazing journey!... full info
