following your travel blog Hi there!
Just wanted to say I am really enjoying reading your blog and seeing all the photos. It's given me a few more places to add to my wish list of places to visit.
The cat is gorgeous by the way!
Travelin' Fever... After two months in Thailand, are you guys learning the language? Is is hard to get around sometimes without knowing it? After the much inspired blogs and photos and words of wisdom, i decided to take a short jaunt over to Europe for 11 days. :) That's right...it was time to visit ITALIA again...and boy was it fun. It was me, my mom, and her boyfriend for a short trip, but much enjoyed (and needed.) I can only imagine how great it must be to travel like that with the one you love for TWO MONTHS! :-D What a dream. What I've discovered in my own travels (both big and small) is that we need to have them. We need to step back from our "realities" of day to day to see the wonder that exists around us-- to view everything from a curious eye once again. I am so glad that you two are having the times of your lives. Your photos are wonderful and you both look sun-kissed, happy, and beautiful. Can't wait to catch up when you get home!
Best,
Erica
Can you 2 get any cuter??? Aww... the pictures are amazing!!! I love the underwater ones!!! Faces are priceless!!! Mikes scruffy beard is adorable--- I hope its too the point where it's soft and doesn't hurt Erin's face :) I miss your lovely faces! Take care and enjoy more experiences there, I can't wait to see you again!!!! Kisses for your faces!!! Love, Tina
Have a great time. Say you guys. You are giving me terrible Travel Envy!! This trip of your sounds like and looks like the trip ov a lifetime. You certainly have moved around and seen a lot. I haven't kept track of your travels on a map but you sure have had some long tain and bus rides and boat rides, as well as motorcycle rides, hiking and whatever. Just think of the gazillion of memories you are piling up for the rrest of your lives!! Allan
Beautiful tans you two!! It looks like your still having a blast-so jealous!! Can't wait to see all of these pictures in person and hear all of the stories. Mike, great job on V-day and make sure and check Erin's luggage before you leave, I have a feeling she'd sneak a pup back home if she thought it was possible!! (: Lots of love to you both- Seth, Jerene, Tyler and now Ava too..
Cubilce There's a couple of cubilces with your names on it back here in the good old USA. No sunsets, no cocktails. Are you sure your ever coming back ? Hmmmmmmmm !
Keep the excellent reports coming.
Love ,

Oh, Yawn! Oh, my goodness, another day in paradise . . . how boring that must be for you! Another beautiful day, another gorgeous sunset, more breathtaking scenery . . . blah, blah, blah. I'm sure you're so tired of it all, huh? NOT!!!!!!!!!! Gosh, and to think you could be home in the cold, rainy (finally) days of winter . . . . all kidding aside, I just love hearing from you! Send more animal photos!! Loved the most recent kitty!!! Can't wait to hear and see more from you!
Awesome Pictures you guys are makeing me so jelious. I so want to be their. The pictures are breathtaking. Now only to get Jenn to travel with a backpack. hmmmmm. Well I might just have to go with just me and Christian. LMAO. You guys have a blast.

eff yeah... really fun to read about your adventures while the music on mike's myspace profile plays... feel like you hear telling me the story. thanks for doing it- great writing.
Glad to see things are going well! Hey Michael and Erin, sounds like you're having a fantastic time! Love seeing the photos! Stay safe. Leslie and Steve
Peaceful beauty Two words came into my mind as I scrolled through your photos..."peace" and "beauty." What incredible things you have seen! Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful stories and photos thus far... Great pics by the way. Thinking about taking up photography when you get back? :)
We Miss You Guys! Mike and Erin! So glad to see all the fun you're having! I even got Kevin to read your blogs and now he wants to go to Thailand - of course! You guys look like you're having so much fun . . . and yes, I agree with another person who congratulates you, Erin, on dealing with the nitty gritty of traveling. I remember those days but they don't seem anything comparedy to your experiences - especially the taxis with chickens- I love it! Be safe and we miss you!
Wow!!! Meet us at the airport....were coming - leaving Tahoe and going to Buddha land..we wish. The photos are great Thanks and lots of love to you both...
I'm so proud... Erin, I have to say I'm very proud and impressed with your non-girliness about some of the nitty gritty that international travel on a budget comes along with. I think you get a better view of the place you're in when you do it that way. I love all your pictures, people passing by my desk at work have commented on how beautiful they are. I love you, have fun you two!
Thanks! Reading this blog made my boring day at work a little bit better. I love reading your blogs and seeing your pictures. i can't wait to travel abroad again myself! love you!
Get your hands off my Sister I am happy to see you are having fun but I am also very disappointed with Mike's Vacation Beard...it has been almost a month and it looks pathetic...everyone here in the US has been waiting for a Johnny Damon type look in the photos and each time you send us a blog with photos we are left disappointed...get on it buddy....Also I think a congratulations is in order because your guys San Diego Super Chargers are looking real super at home while my Colts will soon be Champions...see you later and be very safe.
We miss you... We got a bit worried because we didn't receive this blog...more on that another time. The pictures are sooo awesome. You two look great! Keep having fun. We'll still be here, so enjoy your time in the beautiful place where you are. Gary and I love you so much and we're very proud of you for being so adventurous. OXOX Gary and Mom
P.S. Thank you Alice (for calling)!
Holy Moly!! This is amazing!! I'm sure you two are having a great time :) I love reading about all of your adventures and TRUST, you've more than inspired me to rethink the European trip I'm planning.
What fun! Erin, you're your mommy's daughter! Benches with tomatoes. Darling little children and doggies. We miss you but know you're having the time of your life. We love receiving the blog. Your stories and pictures are enchanting. Be careful and have so much fun. We love you so much and are so proud of you. Hugs and kisses to you and Mike. OXOX Mommy and Gary.
