Hey all, sorry to have let some questions go by here. It’s getting hard to manage all the comments on archive posts, but I don’t mean to leave anyone hanging.

@Horacio,

No plans to come to MX for a while, but since the flu outbreak I’ve been encouraging a lot of other Americans and Canadians to go down since the economy needs help.

@Rashunda,

I’m just using the basic settings with iMovie on my MacBook.

@Chris,

Yep, I’m a big fan of Paul Farmer! I looked for him in PAP but didn’t see him.

@Bruce,

You’re right, it looks like I didn’t make a logistics post for this trip. My apologies – if it doesn’t get done (it was a while back now), I’ll make sure to do it for the next one. In short, this was mostly done on an unfinished RTW leg, then coming home from MIA on a fairly cheap cash ticket with AA. But anyway, next time I’ll write it up in full.

I was re-reading all the posts from this trip and realized you never mentioned any of the airline logistics and flight details. I’m speaking from the flyer-talk, mileage running, elite program member, rtw ticket aspect. How did you pull this trip off? Points? Unfinished rtw leg? Cash? (heaven forbid). Just curious. You know your ins and outs of air travel yet you make no mention how you pulled it off.

Hi Chris.

I absolutely love your website. I got to know about it after Seth Godin blogged about your 279 Days manifesto.

I’m an INSTANT FAN!

Greetings from Kenya- hope you’ll stop by soon.

The video updates are cool and are adding a very personal touch to an already personal site. I like them and keep up the world-changing prose! We love it!

Just curious — have you ever noticed how little you blink compared to others?

I hope you have a great time.

Like the couple from Halifax, I ceased flying AA a couple of years ago after the Christmas Travels from Hell.

Hi Chris,

I’ve wanted to go to Haiti for quite some time, but mostly after reading “Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World” by Tracy Kidder. If you have not read it, get a hold of it!

Happy Trails!
