Hello. Iam planning a RTW trip (backpacking it) beginning 2004 (I have to wait for
my son to graduate College). If you would like to have someone to correspond with
while you are on the road, Id love to hear about your adventures and experiences,
good and bad. It would be good information for my future planning. I will return
the favor once I'm on the road. If your ever traveling through South Carolina,
USA your welcome to stay a night or two in my home town of Aiken, SC. This is also
a favor I would expect to be returned when Aim traveling through your home town.
Have a great time, Check out my website for more information on me and my life.

Marie: I have been visiting your Web sites. Very cool. Thanks for putting up the
information. My name is Rob and I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have done
a little travel with two trips to India, once in Europe and across Canada. In the
year 2003 (that sounds kinda weird eh? "the year 2003") I will be taking my whole
crew on a six month trip around the world. My crew is my family: Wife (Barb 40
something), John (son 12), Kelly (daughter 10) and Joey (son 5 tomorrow). The
kids have never travelled before but I haul them through the bush all the time so
getting dirty and picking off ticks, swatting mosquitoes, and peeing wherever is
natural for them. Like you I like going overland. We will be heading out to
England then (flying to save time) to Turkey. From there goof around Syria and
Jordan and who knows what else and then back to Turkey to go overland to India via
Iran and Pakistan. Loaf around the nice spots in India and Sri Lanka and then haul
ass down to Thailand to set up base so we can tour around S.E. Asia at our leisure
for maybe three months. On your travels did you happen to come across- and
actually remember- how much a one-way ticket from Thailand to Canada/USA is? I
signed up for your e-mail list today and look forward to hearing about your
travels. Have fun eh. And thanks again for setting up your Web sites with
travelogues. Regards from the prairies, Rob

Maribel Silvershield is Marie's great-aunt Doats. Being a senior citizen and new
to the Internet, she can't seem to get a reliable connection to the website. So,
her niece Peggy (Marie's aunt) thought it would be best if she gets the dispatches
delivered directly to her by email. She's a world traveler and an adventurous
sort of person herself, so we wonder if it might be in the blood.

Hi Marie, I was sharing tales and photos of my recent visit to Cambodia and Japan
with your cousin Elias. He suggested I check out your web-site. I think what your
doing is great and inspiring. Please add me to your e-mail list: (suppressed)
Unfortunately my world tour approach is a week here and there over the course of a
life time. You are doing it the right way. Your cousin and I just moved to AZ to
start an office for our company. I have many good friends here and I will be sure
he has a great time.

Marie: I enthusiastically read your journal about your overland with Dragoman
about 2 years ago. It was a major help for me planning my RTW & decided to do a
trip with Encounter (Wish I'd gone with Dragoman!). I did the Istanbul to Cairo
to Kathmandu from Sept. 99 to Jan 00. Very difficult...I'd never do another
again! But, I then continued on my RTW (with planes!) to China, Japan, Indonesia
& Australia. Got back Nov. 00 & am now planning my next big adventure. I'd like
to hear more about your trip to SA aboard a freighter.... Thanks for sharing your
adventures with all of us!

Just read your Botswana adventure and loved it! I am heading there and to Namibia
as well over Christmas time for 6 weeks. I have booked a Dragoman tour for 19
nights and intended to try and see some of Namibia and West Botswana for the
remaining three weeks I am there. Would it be best to do an organised tour for
this or not (ie try and use the public transport etc?)I would be a "budget"
travller if a classification is needed! Your assistance if possible is greatly
appreciated.
