Comments on: “I’m On A Boat” http://howesaboutatrip.com/2009/10/06/im-on-a-boat/ A first hand account of Kevin and Nicole's travels around the planet earth! Sat, 17 Sep 2011 01:49:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mom & Dad http://howesaboutatrip.com/2009/10/06/im-on-a-boat/#comment-218 Mom & Dad Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:37:16 +0000 http://howesabouteurope.wordpress.com/?p=143#comment-218 Hi there, Mom here: What a great blog, it seems however that we are always the last to read them. We read them at night and that way we enjoy your blogs and the comments. Some of the comments are very entertaining. Thanks for the special note about my b-day, I had a really nice day. Glad you are having such a wonderful time in Venice, everything sounds just perfect. Now to address our family car trips, I have to disagree!! You know your father stopped when ever you wanted. He just didn't stop for long. Auntie did have it right however, my car trips as a kid were worse, I will tell you about them sometime. Oh and I do miss you also, even though Sharon said it first I didn't want to mother you. Talked to Nana last night, she was out all day and she is fine. Keep having fun and writing. Thanks for the post card from Paris. It was a wonderful surprise. Love, Mom (now heres Dad) On the subject of food, try a fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato and basil pizza, in Nicole's words, "AWSOME". Also, I was thinking about putting Red Hot Chilie Peppers on my Ipod. Thanks for the laughs tonight.

I must stay in the #1 position. And, I had a good golf day too!! I decided that if your blog is not up when I check it in the morning, I wil just write something to stay in the lead. As for traveling, I do not know why we don't stop. You might ask Rowena what traveling was like when we were children...this could have a lot to do with it! I know..Shelly and I need to both be #1! Since we are anyway. Absolutely not! I must stay in the #1 position. And, I had a good golf day too!!

Thank you! :) Now I'll be checking like every hour to see if you've blogged about 'what you witnessed'. Thanks for the tease. You'll get like 100 hits tonight... so you're not as popular as you may think. It's going to be me and Shelly checking in. I also thought it looked a lot like Vegas! Only better of course. I'm pretty sure I am the only one who has said I miss you guys! I should get points for that. I miss you! Sharon Please only bring home souvenirs that can ONLY be BOUGHT! Thank you! :)

I'm happy that everyone is even taking the time to look at our page! A lot of people read every day, so very awesome! The luge was great, it was right by Newschwanstein castle, did you go there? The cows were my favorite! They were so sweet and so happy. They made California cows look sad! Glad you’re enjoying it! I’m happy that everyone is even taking the time to look at our page!

It was actually hang gliding, you run and jump off of a cliff and glide through the air! Thought it best to keep our feet on the ground (and really, not so sure we'd have been able to leap off the side of a mountain either!). Yes, the glass here is amazing, Venice is known for its glass. Luge rocked. We killed Canada! HA! Ben was a good boy, he only drinks AFTER we get where we're going! Seriously, I said the same thing! "This looks just like Vegas!". Kevin reminded me that this came first. Ha. Ha, we considered it! It was actually hang gliding, you run and jump off of a cliff and glide through the air!

And, no, there will not be any souvenirs that I can't buy with my good old Visa, so don't go gettin' your hopes up!
