Well, I just want you to know that I love your blogs- pictures, text and all!!! They make great lunch time reading at my office. I too felt very unsafe in Honduras, but Utila was fun, eh... I hope you continue to have a fun-filled and magical trip! That hike looked alot like the one we just did in Hawaii, except we had 40 lb. packs on! Top that...
Love Cara
Wow! Even if I never get to make a trip through Latin America, I am getting to visit it through you and Paul. The pictures are beautilful and the storytelling makes me want to start saving my pennies to take a trip too.
I surely miss the travels myself Hey Paul and Casey,
Now I know how my family and friends felt when I wrote them when I backpacked through Aussie and lived in Africa. I am living in your trip. I had a chance to do South America through my Africa boss, however declined, and am now able to experience it through you guys. I was in macchu picchu in April this year, as I was 5 months preggy, just make sure you have the dosh!!! They are New York prices there, and know how to make a buck or six!!! However it is worth every penny,and the Peruvian food is amazing and ever sooo healthy!!! Take the corn when on the train from Cusco to Aguas Caliente, yummie!!!
Ok, be safe, and happy travels............adios mis amigos, buen viaje!
Lots of love, the new mommy Martina
Do you ever just pinch yourself to make sure all of this is all real.......... What unbelievable travel! Thanks so much for your awesome blogs. Who needs to travel when somebody else will do it for you. I have to confess I would have loved to see the turtles.
Be safe.
Lots of Love
keep the details coming!! hey guys,
i can't tell you how happy (and jealous) it makes me to read all of your adventures. i can't believe i've been back in the states almost 2 months and you all are just getting through central america...there's still so much more exciting tales to come. i love the way you tell stories - with all the important details to fully take us along for the ride. i can really picture all the places and people you meet. thanks so much for not giving up on the journaling (both in words and pictures) even though i know it must be tough this far along in the journey.
stay safe and happy!
love, kimary
Response to Citlalli Hi Citlalli. First I just want to say thanks for leaving us a comment, we always love to get them, and frankly our friends and family don´t leave us enough. While I have to say you were a wee bit sharp in the tone of your comment, I appreciate you pointing out things that I described incorrectly. I am always open to learning more about the countries I visit, so I would truly appreciate it if you would share what you know with both Paul and I as well as our friends and families who read our blog. Although I try to do my best to learn about the history and culture of the countries I visit and share it with the folks at home who don´t have the chance to visit the countries themselves, I simply cannot become an expert on every place we go. I read the guide books, ask lots of questions to tour guides and folks I meet in the streets, and even make a point of reading literature from the area I´m in. And I do all of this because I want to learn. So please, instead of just critizing us, why don´t you help us learn more about the things we are a little ignorant about. Hope to hear back from you. Casey and Paul
all because an eagle, a catus and a snake you think? Well your subject line couldnt be more ignorant...the "aztecs" didnt just see an eagle with a snake in its beak and said hey this is where we'll stay now since we saw that eagle with a snake on that cactus...please if youre going to write about someones culture do it correctly or else just keep your trap shut.
Thanks for the memories Hi Casey and Paul
Thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories of Guatemala for me. I'm so glad to hear that the school is still going strong - it looks exactly the same in your photos! Is the bar still there next door?
Look out for the sandflys on the islands!!
xx
crazy drivers the bus drivers there sound similiar to the ones in africa, aye paul? or maybe that was the malawi gold!!. rock on guys - trip sounds awesome.
NICE oK.. you guys are so lucky!!! you get to see all of that? thanks for the great pictures you posted. I had decided to stop travelling myself but you guys just make me continue doing it... but for now I have to put up with brats! Awesome description of things...
Godd luck and lots of hugs!!

Snorkel-rama Hey Case- I was just in Hawaii smorkeling with sea turtles... Of course I love snorkeling and have no fear of the fishies and such! The sand fleas on the islands off Hoduras are terrible as well, but only after the rain, and it's some of the best diving and snorkeling anywhere! Enjoy Guatemala!!!
Love Cara
Way to go, Casey! I'm so glad you gave snorkling a try. I had so much fun diving in Belize when I was there with Matt and Melissa. Next time you'll be such a pro, I bet you'll be petting the sharks and riding the rays.
Brave Aunty Casey Aunty Casey you should go snorkelling at Coral Bay one day when you get to Australia the last time I went there when you get to the waters edge there are lots and lots of Zebra Fish? (black and white striped fish) and they are great fun to chase. There are jelly fish there too but don't worry they only come up when the tide is high. The tide was high when we went there and there where lots of dead ones on the shore, Someone was skipping on them but I was not too sure but i accidently stepped on one and they were awfully gross. there are these big fish that i call Snappers there was one with a hook in his mouth his name is Hook mouth.
Oh yea good on ya Aunty Casey i would never be brave enough to hold a crayfish? ( dead or alive)
"Hi Uncle Paul!!!!!!!!!"
Love from your niece REBEKA !!!!!!!!!
P.S Aunty Casey did you say sorry to Uncle Paul for nearly drowning him?
:) (:
Living through you Casey,
I have really enjoyed reading about all of your travels. I don't know if I will ever make it to a quarter of the places you have been but it has been fun living through your experiences.
Thanks again,
Jordan (UNCG)
Enjoying your blogs, I am a little behind, sorry! The places you have been to look so beautiful but I am most interesed in the food (for some reason). It all looks so good, I am craving a quesadilla right now! take care, Jen
Mexico What a wonderful place - you describe everything so well and the photographs add to the writing. Looking forward to the next blog. Love from the Byford mob
Friend of mums. Hi Casey and Paul, I am a friend of mums from art class. She kindly passed on your website address. What a fascinating holiday you two are having. How I wish we could have done that when we were younger. We did Europe but nothing as adventurous as you two. What a fascinating place Mexico City and surrounding areas are. The Aztecs could certainly teach mum and I a thing or two about art especially with us doing mosaics. That tile house was amazing.
Must go and do some work on my mosaics. Mum and the others are a lot further ahead that I. Good luck with the rest of your trip. I look forward to reading all about it. Particularly enjoyed the photos.
Regards Jan (and Dave my husband who swims with mum at the club).
mucho gracias a million thanks to you for our being able to share with you the wonderful trip you are taking. your account of the trip in the written word is extraordinary....we love it; and the pictures superb! thank you so much for your commitment to us as we sit here away from the extreme exercise and exertions you two are enjoying. look forward to seeing you in December. much love, John and Ginger
Keep on blogging.... You guys rock. What a blog! LOVE the pictures! You guys should be travel guides. Not only have you taught me lots of geography with all your worldly travels but lots of history too. Just can't remember most of it because I have CRS! But I am a much better Jeopardy player because of you....... Looking forward to the next one.
Love Mom
Yeah! Hey guys, glad you are having so much fun. San Cristobal is my favorite Mexican city. Make sure to eat at the little natural foods cafe and bakery on the street heading into town, it's a little more mula but totally worth it! They have these cheese rolls that are sooo yummy...
hi hey case and paul! i love following along on your journey. you are seeing such amazing and beautiful places. dana and i miss you both! lots of hugs and love from tennessee.
Thai Tom's Hey Guys--
Sounds like you are having a fun (if gut destroying) journey. Whit and Lucy wanted to experience Thai Tom's because of your recommendation, so we cruised over to the Ave and sat at the bar for some tasty Pad Thai. I believe fun was had by all and nobody threw up. Take care and keep the blogs coming!
Much love,
Laura, Whitney, and Lucy
Paul's from Australia. Casey's from the States. We met in Africa, married in Puerto Rico, and now after three long years in Greensboro studying and working our bums off we're ready for a little adventure. Join us as we explore the Americas, and let's see where we end up . . .
We refuse to keep too tight of an agenda, but here’s a rough outline if anyone wants to catch a flight and meet us anywhere.
Mid-May to Mid-JulyThe US of A. Lots of National Parks as we first head up, then over, then down.
The rest of July and AugustMexico and this funny little island in the Caribbean that’... full info
