Hi Patty and Teresa,
it took me quite a few days to get on your
site but I hope you haven't forgotten me meanwhile.
First: congratulations
to your site! It is really good and reading about all your "adventures" gets me
a bit jealous, but nevertheless I will read it all!
We are on our way to
Hanoi, which we reach tomorrow by flight and then there is just about a week to
go. As I could see, you (Patty) are already in Thailand and I wish you all the
best for the rest of your trip. If you ever come to the Northern part of
Germany, you're always welcome (you remember my bathing tub
.......).
Take care and travel safe!
Teresa, you've got a seperate
mail. I hope you had a nice travel back home (fortunately you were guided most
of the way), and I'm looking forward to hearing from you again!
Warmest
regards
Alexander

First of all: SORRY for my bad, bad, very bad english!
Hi Patty , hi
Teresa
how I prommissed in Saigon, here is my entry in your guestbook! We
(Alex & me) are still in Vietnam (Hue) and we`ll enjoy our last week in the
north. I will always remember, how much fun we`ve got during the two
days/evenings we met. Did Teresa allready found their home on the map of the
USA?(ups, sorry Teresa). If you have to make a decision and you`ll don`t know,
where to go, remember, tere is always a place for you in the "hometown" of
Beck`s (Beer)! I hope, my best wishes will reach you(wherever you are).

Hi Patty
I am glad to see that you are still enjoying the
adventures of exploring the world. Visiting your web-site tonight, it looks like
you heading towards the end of your expedition. If you ever feel like "hopping"
over to the African Continent again, don't forget to visit as at the southern
point of it.

Hi there, you have a great website, I love the pics and the personal accounts! I am jealous! I about to reach the point that you did.. work and school make Eric a dull boy. Every break I have I try to go on a trip. As soon as I graduate I will be able to really travel. Taking a break from working isn't going to hurt either! Take care, keep up the great website.

High there, I just want to salute you for your acheivements as a woman and
as an induvidual.
I think that what you have acheived so far in your travels
is just mind blowing. I met your boyfriend in a coffee shop yesterday
(26/01/2002) and he told me about your travels and your web site. I really want
to do something like this but I want to finish my studies first (I'm a third
year BA- Communications & English student). Well I'm off now, enjoy your
travels and good luck with the future!!! NATACHA WINTLE

Thanks for the note you left, I'm sorry I
missed you the last night in Saigon. I'll keep in touch and I'm sure our paths
will cross somewhere round the world. It is quite a small place after
all.
All the best for your time in Newcastle, Teresa, I know you'll have a
great time.
Just heading off to Cambodia, so I'll catch you

I wish you could travel north-west and east India too but your father says you dont have enough time. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Hello Patty,
Your website is indeed very interesting. I did not
have a chance to look at it too closely, but I will do it as soon as I am with a
better internet connection.
It was very nice to meet you in Mysore. Hope
your 18-hour train trip from Bangalore to Kerala was not too tiring. I spent 3
beautiful days by the Golf of Bengal and am now in Trivandrum. Shall we meet
again? If not, I wish you all the best in your future adventures. Let's keep in
touch. Catherine.

keeping up with the site fairly regularly. It's good to see someone who has the
courage and determination to make their dreams a reality. Plus, it's been pretty

Hey Patty! What an amazing site! Thanks again for surprising me that
Friday and taking me with you on a tour of Soweto. It's strange touring your own
backyard (well, okay, few-million-strong township!). I wish you'd stayed longer
so I could have shown you Joburg... Oh well. Still, it is quite surreal meeting
a fellow traveller back in your home city/country (I met Patty in Budapest, and
funny enough, we were in Prague around the same time, both doing a TEFL course,
but only met later).
All the best Patty, and I hope I'm still here when
you come back to visit.

Hey Patty!
I finally got around to seeing your website. It's so
wonderful and so much easier than trying to show pictures and explain everything
to everyone at home! I worked at an ESL camp for kids from all over the world,
for about 6 weeks in England. I fly out tomorrow from Atlanta to Zurich, then a
train to Erlangen, Germany. I got a job and will be there for a year.
I'll
keep up with you on this site. It rocks!! If you ever get to Germany, let me
know. Have fun, and write if you get a chance.(Let me know if you meet any guys
who have the same "baby in a backpack" dream like us!)

Sorry you couldn't make it to the party on Saturday - it was
a good one! Hope you made it on time to the bus and are well on your way through
Namibia right now, I guess. This is the trip that i really wanted to do so enjoy
it for me and let us know all about it in your journal. Hope you meet some great
people on the tour and make more lasting friendships.
Hope to see you in
Austria, if not before!
Take care and thanks for the swing dancing

Hey Patty
It was great meeting you, and I think you show that the proof
of the spirit is not in the dreaming, but in the doing. May you enjoy your
Masters Degree in Life, that you are taking in the University of the World. It
will allways stand you in good stead. And your acknowledgement will not be on
paper, but written in your heart and mind.
I am downright
jealous.
Please put an account number on your website, so that we can
send you donations to assist you, and maybe you can use 50% of what we give to
better the cicumstances of the people with whom you mingle and who you see, and
50% to upgrade your nightly bed from a rock to a mattress. Will you do that for
us? This will give all of us the chance to reach out and make a difference in
the lives of people we do not know, and who's plight is unseeable to us, and
therefore uncared for by us. You can be our eyes and give us chance to make a
small difference in the life of a child somewhere in Africa or
Asia.
PLease do that for us.

Patty:
It really is great to read about your adventure. Just a couple
words of warning: careful with how you perceive the other "wonderful" cultures.
Your comments on how the Eastern Europeans are so "non-materialistic" surprised
me somewhat. As one who can speak from experience, upon meeting young ladies in
Eastern Europe, the first question was always, "How much money do you make, what kind of car do you drive, etc...". Possibly a function of the previous
communistic regimes, as opposed to their own shortcomings.
I speak
objectively, of course, when I say that America is the greatest country in the
history of the world-- sometimes it seems we can lose our point of reference
when we are lucky enough to be a direct part of something so amazing. One only
need to realize the number of people who die every year just trying to get to
our country, to realize our good fortune.
Seeing the world is great, but
don't lose sight of your roots, your family and the unbelievable country in
which you were raised. I love to visit other places and have lived in Asia and
Europe, and think they are great. But be careful you don't confuse escapism with
a different form of reality.

River, NY USA - Saturday, July 14, 2001 at 21:14:44 (PDT)
This is so exciting, Patty, to see what you're doing. From my brief
travels (Rome, London, Paris), I saw too that there are a lot of good things
about USA, but a lot of not-so-good things, too, like the rush!, the
buy-buy-buy, the inhumane vacation time, the crime rate, especially with guns,
etc. We do have lots of neat material stuff, though; that's for sure. Tom felt
we belonged in Paris, but I'd love to live in the old section of Rome - if I had
lots and lots and lots of $$$$$.
Friends from Mexico just visited us
after ten days in Greece, and they said the same things you do: the yogurt was
so creamy and absolutely delicious and the Aegean Sea was absolutely gorgeous -
as blue as the pictures. It sounds like that may be where you want to spend most
of your time. Is there anyway that I could finance one cup of coffee a day for
you? I don't want you to deny yourself that very delicious
addiction!
Someone told us to visit Prague as a sampling of a true old
European city. Where are all the Czechs, if all you saw were tourists? Maybe
they're in Iowa! Good luck with the teaching; it's so true that you can get
consumed with all the heavy-duty planning you have to do to prepare - and I
think of myself as a spontaneous person. A good teacher is an organized teacher,
though!
You mentioned the glorious single moments that you'll remember
always. Tom finds this, too, in backpacking. You forget all the work and sweat
you went to for that one glorious view or experience. Sounds like it's worth it
for the experience, though.
Patty, next time you have a photo taken in a
two-piece swimming suit, be sure to put on a beach robe first. Okay?
Love,
love, love Sandy

couch!
The big news is that I'm engaged. Janna Murphy, a Bostonian who's
been here for about 4 years. Met...guess how...swing dancing of course. She's a
wonderful dancer and even more amazing person. We're off to Chicago next week to
introduce her around and I'm bummed you won't be there.

Fathers' Day Sunday requires a postcard souvenir from wherever you are that day (preferably a gothic church, not a bar!:-)(kyrie eleison is greek!!) And for your BIRTHDAY Monday, you are pre-ordained to eat the chocolatyest morsel you can find! Then enjoy a second one in honor of my 'birthing day'! Love, x x x Mom

Hi Patty
A quick note from your Australian friends from Samos and
Kusadasi, and more importantly first hand witnesses of your bellydancing
talents.
We love the site and completely agree with all your observations on
Greece and Turkey. The guy who owns this Istanbul internet cafe has just given
us apple tea and told us he will take us to his uncle's carpet shop. Does this
bring back memories?
We have spent 1.3 billion lira in our time in Turkey. We
are Turkish billionaires.
Look forward to dancing up a storm with you in
Prague.

I work with your dad and know your mom. I was talking to your dad one morning and asked about your brother in Uzbekistan(sp.) and he told me that he had another child trapsing about the glode and told me about the website. Good luck on your Journey, the day he told me about this was the same day a warning was issued to all americans abroad because of the trial of the alledged world trade center bomber and possible retaliations. Keep a low profile was one of the things the warning said to do, I don't think you'll meet that criteria. I had to join the navy to see the world many years ago but it was fun, I hope your experience is a good one. we are becoming a very plural society here as you probably know, your travel experience will help you adapt to the US when you get back, see if you can talk dad into joining you.

Hi there my Turkish bus companion, and Mikky Jaco's 'Thriller' dancing
friend. A big hello from your Drunken Camel Style Kung Fu studying Aussie
friend, who also happens to be the mortal-enemy of the fearsome (and also very
very scary) Monkey-Man of India!! :)
Take care, and keep up the good
work!!
Your bud,

Hi Patty !!
We hope your journey is still full of excitement. We
are back home in SA, but we had a wonderfull time on the rest of our trip. For
those who don't know us, we met Patty at Mykonos (Greece) and travelled on the
same route via Samos to Kusidasie (Turkey). Photos of the "belly dancing queen"
will be forwarded soon to Patty, may be she'll place it on the website??!!!.
Looking forward to see you in South Africa. CHEERS
