You'll know me as Melanie Mottishaw Kevin, but that's long ago! It's been wonderful following you two through your travels. Auntie Norma put me onto it and I'm ever so glad. I have my own blog that I have fun with now that I'm retired.
Hi from Jodie and Ryan too. Oh to go back to those camping days! Were you the culprit that tied Ryan up to the tree branch :) :) :) ??

I was cruising blogs through Blogspot and ran into a Canadian girls blog and she mentioned you. I was intrigued by her comments and I've been reading your posts for months.

I checked about once a week and looked forward to reading about your adventures. It was a treat to see a new post, new pictures, and learn about a new place I've never been. What a wonderful time in your lives this must have been. Here's to a life filled with memorable travel experiences!

Are you sure you can't keep going? :)

Sincerely,

Thanks to your website I am very grateful to have witnessed so many wonderful things through your eyes and words that I, alas, will never have the opportunity to experience myself. It has been a magnificent journey which will live forever in your memories. Thanks so much for allowing me to travel along with you via your blog. It will be marvelous, nonetheless, to have you home at last. Dad/ Rick

thanks so much for sharing your adventures with everyone.. I'm sure all of us really appreciate the time and effort you put into your blog.I too, will be glad when you guys are back on the west coast...you are one of my oldest friends Brandy,(not meaning you're old, just i've known you since 1981), and i'm honored to have been able to be a part of your travels, even if from my computer chair :)..good luck on the rest of your journey..anais
p.s. my fave pic of all was brandy and the turtle..it also brought tears to my eyes....:)

your site has been an interesting read from beginning to end. Enjoy the last few days of your trip.... Brandy, I expect your Dad will announce any time now that he's leaving for the airport to pick you up (just in case your flight arrives three days early!)

You have been on an amazing journey and I am so grateful to both of you for taking the time (and writing so well!) to share your adventures with me! (and my family - I am constantly telling them and my friends of your adventures!) Thanks for the journey! Hope to see you when you get back and come visit Oakville. Debbie Elliott

I wonder what you are both doing right now.................I hope you are lying on the beach going over in your minds all the wonderful places you have been and the amazing experiences you have had together on this trip.
We, Of course, are much more into The Countdown" until you are both the same country as us and even better, within 35 miles!!
Have a wonderful trip home...........I know you are both excited to begin this next phase of your life, but can't believe your trip is all but over.
Thanks for taking us with you on your "Amazing Journey"
Love you both
MOM

Amazing adventure by two even more amazing people. Seeing the world through your eyes and reading of the adventures put to paper with such wit, sense of humor and flair...you felt, in some small way, that you were sharing in the journey.
Glad you will be home and safe....but...looking forward to being part of your next adventure.
Welcome home! Mom will be much happier now.
Love "little step daddy"

Most excellent blog,

Have really enjoyed tuning in over the last 12 months. Good Luck on your return to Canada.

We've been following your blog since we met you on the train from Trieste to Venice in June 2005. Your descriptive, riveting and humourous entries have inspired us to make travelling more of a priority in our lives. We will miss reading about your adventures, but we're sure you'll be working on some new ones in no time at all! If you're on the island, it'd be great to meet up with you again. Perhaps for some mountain biking? (After all that travelling, how will you go back to the working world?!) Cheers! Karen and Peter, Victoria

Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world through your blog. In researching a trip I stumbled on BootsnAll Blogs and found yours... I have looked forward to reading latest news of your travels each time I sit at my computer. I dream of some day visiting some of the places you have written so wonderfully about.

Good luck in your continuing adventures back home.

Welcome Home Kevin & Brandy:
We've logged on every week since you started your travels and thanks to your very interesting and humerous reports have enjoyed every place you have visited. We can't believe you have so few entries in your guest book....come on all your 'LURKERS' sign on and let Kevin & Brandy know just how many of us have appreciated being part of this wonderful journey.

Welcome home Guys! It's been amazing following along on your journeys. Your pics are amazing and someday I'll be contacting you hopefully to plan my own trip around the world!
Keep in touch Brandy!

Brandy and Kevin:

Your website is so very impressive. It was so wonderful to follow your travels and it has made me wonder over and over again whether I could ever make such a journey. You have done something that most people can only dream of...

Welcome home!

Krista

Hey guys,

Stay in touch and hopefully we'll meet up again some day!

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on your travels. An awesome (almost) year!

I hope your next adventure will be to make it onto "The Amazing Race". My money will be on you two! All the best!

kevin and brandy thanks for letting us share your adventure. I will miss the diversion. Marisa and I have been impressed with the quality of writing and the wonderful pictures. Your efforts have been appreciated. It has been fun following from a distance but we are glad to have you back home. Dig your flyrod out and give me a call.

Thanks for the constant updates on your adventures. It has been great following you around for a year and seeing all the places most of us only dream about going to.

Dear Brandy & Kevin,
Have enjoyed reading about your "once in a lifetime trip". There have been times when I thought "UGH" and realize, even in my youth, that I could not have taken all the "yuk" you talk about. This adventure was so brave and courageous. Now, you should write a book, because the descriptions of your trip are marvelous and so descriptive.
Are you able, now, to come back to reality? Much luck to you as you return to a less exciting life.
Love,
Aunt Susie
