Cousin Scary I miss ya'll and think of you daily! Love seeing your pictures! I can't wait until you get to South America!!! I bet when you get back, ya'll might be on the news!

Mary Caton Hello beautiful people! I finally found my way to your site and was thrilled to read about all you've been up to. Thanks so much for sharing the stories and pictures. Couldn't be happier for you two -- sending you lots of love from the Rockies. (Possible future destination, hmmmm?!?!?!)

Carol Price Hey Guys, Lovin keepin up with ya'll. We just think this is the greatest thing. OK, Cat remember you are going to teach me Thia cooking. Chef Christopher has been here this weekend. Had a wild game class at the lakehouse. Cat you would have hated it. Much Love, John and Carol

Becky Oops! Sorry it posted twice. Boy do I feel dumb!

Becky Butler Your pictures are great. It looks like you're having a wonderful time. Thanks for helping me brush up on my Geography. I'm either brushing up on what I already knew, or more than likely, I never knew it! Please be careful. Happy Trails....until we meet again.

Whitney Hey Hey! Love that you are doing the blog thing! Enjoy yourselves and especially NZ--not partial or anything... Just to catch you up to speed in the US- Its hotter than CF in August, Miss California is about to get stripped of her crown for slamming gay marriage, and (alas) we are all not going to die from the swine flu as previously predicted! Fewf! Have a blast and I hope you find your diaper of ice. Whit

Marilyn Lewis Hey guys... I guess by getting married ahead of the Spring/Summer 09 rush, you are getting out of having to actually attend all of these other weddings and parties! Was there a sale I missed? Don't think Winn is jumping on this bandwagon any time soon... of course, he won't give us a heads-up until AFTER... we are better left in the dark, like old mushrooms, ya know? In an effort to have solidarity with you, our house at he lake has decided to 'rough it'... no more AC, no hot water, and the refrigerator has decided that the appliance hospice should be called. I started to ask just what you guys used to do out here that worn it out so badly... then I remembered that I already knew... unfortunately. ;) Your photos are great... esp Hong Kong! Loved the building shots and the prayer flags! Looking forward to more. To get the full experience, eat what the natives eat whenever possible. When I went to school gin France, used to blow me away when the kids in my dorm would save up to go to McDonald's. Scare me! As long as you aren't hanging out with a cannibal tribe, you're good. Of course if that IS the case, you have more important things to worry about other than the fact you are a vegeterian... ouch! Have fun! Be safe!

Mary Austin Just decided to check out the blog......was stumped by the math comment until I was really stumped by the math problem (I knew the answer!!! 3+3 is 6!!! I am so smart!!). It is fun to track your travels and your commentary is fun to read. It was so hot and humid here today....hope you are enjoying much nicer weather and continue to find nice people every place you go.

Jerri DeHart - Facilities Dept Hi Cat, I kept pestering people until I got your blog address from April. Your trip is going to be an awesome experience. I miss your smiling face around here. Jerri

Drew Glad to see you guys are doing well. Good to see that you still don't have any variety in your diet...wanna know why they have trouble making you a pizza without tomato sauce there? Other than the obvious language barriers, it's because WITHOUT TOMATO SAUCE IT'S NOT A PIZZA, IT'S CHEESE BREAD! Hopefully they have rice, beans and queso on demand in those parts. Also, those "tour guides?"... yeah, they totally pick pocketed you. Admit it!

lena marie Love the blogs and the pics. By the way Matt cool haircut! it looks like someone I know very well? hmmmmmm. I am so glad you two are enjoying yourselves. keep posting, its like we are there. Love you and God bless you! Agape Lena Marie

whatever first of all... I had trouble with the basic math I had to do to post this message. Second of all... I voted 5 stars for your blog entry even though you said 'wented' instead of 'rented' and I couldn't decide if it was a typo or you were trying to be cute. In both cases I had hate feelings. third of all... ashley maly? as in THE ashley maly? I didn't know you guys knew her. and she's all double posting on here>? I would have a fourth of all, but I feel strange in a one way conversation so I'm gonna shut it down... I'm super happy for you two. don't die -manolith

ashley maly HEY! I'm sooo excited for you two to be able to do this wonderful adventure!! MUCH more exciting than ol' Guthrie America! I have enjoyed reading your stories and looking at your pictures! i check them daily to see if you have anymore posted. However, i am glad when there are days there aren't just so i know you are taking it in for yourself! Stay safe and enjoy every minute! Always, Ashley
