Oh how long ago HAHA!!! Look at Mark! I didn't recognize him without his facial hair! Now you guys are pros!
Miss you and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your posts and I LOVE your photos Bre. I have to be honest that I saved some of your pictures because you captured the memory so well and they are going up on our wall with other pictures from our travels.
Miss you and I can't wait to see the rest of your travels
Turkey... Yeah we totally loved Turkey! Istanbul was a particular highlight, and the food was just glorious. If you have any questions feel free to message us. Looking forward to your blogs from there :)
Hi Guys, Thanks very much. Just checked out your blogs - and noticed you were in Turkey. We are here now and loving it. Currently in Goreme. Enchanting Place!
Looking good Hey Guys, some more great photo,s and enjoying the blog as there are lots of things that you obviously remember as you write that I have not heard previosly. Love you lots xxx
I wish I had good news! I feel like I've led you astray. I've got this email this morning on your nomination - MarkandBreeUnleashed already have 5 Followers so are ineligible for Blogger of the Week. They are good, however.
I'm so sorry about this...
No problems at all Hi Nanci,
That's okay - no need to worry. To be honest we don't really know how the system works anyways. Well done on your entry sitting on the front page. Very impressive
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Wow Nanci, thanks so much for the nomination. So kind. Definitely makes it all worthwhile when there are people out there checking out what we're upto.
Love this Blog I really like your writing style; I especially like your quote - gotta figure out how to do that! And to be woken up by the receptionist? Yikes!
I really like your Butterfly Farm pics, as well. Keep blowing me away! ;o)
Thank you! Hi Nanci, thanks for checking in! Yes, not happy about the false alarm wake-up...and not the first time this has happened. The quotes are easy - Just use the following format [quote] Any text you put in here will be quoted [/quote] . Otherwise I think there is actually a quote button on the formatting toolbar where you write your text :)
It's all About the Numbers! I think we have more in common than we originally thought! There have been a few times that I’ve checked “the numbers” over three times after we posted a blog.
Have you advertised? I know this sounds corny, but once I posted my blog on Facebook, the numbers started to turn around. Also, you may want to follow the “Big Boys”, i.e., The Travel Camel, Dancing Dave, Mell, D MJ Binkley, and bv chef. These people are the ones that pick the coveted “Blogger of the Week” award. Follow one (or all) them and they may, in turn, follow you.
Don’t change anything about your blog! I like your writing style, as well as your pictures. That being said, you may want to check out one of the forums. Go to Discuss Travel in our forums, The Blog Forum, Tips for Increasing the Views of Your Travel Blog. There’s a lot of good information in this forum.
I hope this helps!
It's all About the Numbers! Haha, it's true. It is all about the numbers. It is exciting to watch them grow (or in our case - remain a little bit stagnant). We have added our links to facebook and also added family & friends to the email subscription... we are almost forcing our blog onto people, it's embarrassing lol. Thanks so much for your tips. Very helpful - we have just started to follow a couple of people and will check out the forum :)
Wow - just WOW!!! I came upon your blog and it is just amazing!Your writing is sharp; it makes me imagine that I'm with you, too. Your photos, however, are phenomenal! We take a lot of pictures, but your pics are what we're striving for! How do you do it?!
Anyway, I look forward to reading more about your journey. You've an avid fan!
Nanci
Kind Words Hi Nanci,
Wow, it is so nice to receive such warm comments. It makes it all worthwhile. We are trying to better our photos more and more as we go along. There were so many opportunities in Asia to get that exotic shot though. We are envious of you guys driving Mexico & Central America. 439 days on the road is very impressive! We may just have to follow your adventures. As for the photos, Adobe Lightroom is an amazing photo editing program that helps to sharpen and brighten, etc. You have some good numbers of people reading all of your blogs - any tips? :) Bree & Mark
WOW!!!! A BIG hello to you both. Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us..... it almost feels like we are with you. Look forward to reading more and seeing some more great photos.
Keep safe. Lots of love Anna xxx
Late last year (2011) we had a brain explosion of an idea to quit our long-standing jobs (of 4 & 6 years) and pack up all of our belongings and store away in a shed for safe keepings whilst we travel the globe.
We plan on going through South East Asia, South America, Canada, New Zealand & road-tripping North America. We had very little time to plan the trip so we are literally taking things 1 day at a time. Our timeframe is non-existent although our insurance company will be chasing more money when our yearly cover runs out.
We departed ... full info
