Why would I pass over such an adventure, to sit inside my 'safe' condo, unafraid of the outside world?<br /><br />Like you mentioned, anything could happen to me as I bus home at night after work, in <b>downtown</b> Minneapolis, but me being in my car to a hotel, is somehow less safe?beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578381535610681679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-85465155773270257302010-08-05T07:54:32.218-06:002010-08-05T07:54:32.218-06:00I just found your blog for Daily Coyote, and I am ...I just found your blog for Daily Coyote, and I am now reading about your cross country trip. I think it is truly amazing and wonderful how you live your life.

And after spending 2 hours of my workday reading about your experiences with Charlie, I cannot bear another minute without engulfing myself with the details of your Vespa trip. You truely are an inspiration to me. You're remarkable in that I don't even know you and you have made a huge impact on my life. I've always held back out of fear, but I'm not afraid anymore. Thanks to you I have learned to appreciate life more than I ever have. I want to experience everything and live my life to the fullest. I have subscribed to your mailings and look forward to my weekly mailings. Thank you again for everything. This statement transformed my life: "The woman looks at me wistfully from the passenger seat and tells me how brave she thinks I am, that she could never be that brave. I believe she could."<BR/>-Leahann, 20 (in a few weeks) CNYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-73139237671148166892008-01-17T08:35:00.000-07:002008-01-17T08:35:00.000-07:00You must have had an angel riding with you.You must have had an angel riding with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-49286742333585258432007-12-11T12:01:00.000-07:002007-12-11T12:01:00.000-07:00You are such an inspiration!

We will be in Hollywood, Florida for 4 days and I will be my own for most of the time since he is working. Most people I talk to think it is crazy that I am going along when I will be alone from early in the morning until fairly late at night most days and ask me what I will do. I ok course said read books, go to the beach, shop..., but really i suddenly had no idea what I would do or why I was going. Fear crept in. After reading your blog I tell them I will have adventures. They ask what kind. I tell them I don't know yet, but i will wander around and find out and I send them to visit your blog :-)Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431919411747685018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-91370282827542727692007-12-05T21:13:00.000-07:002007-12-05T21:13:00.000-07:00I have had the same reaction from friends and fami...I have had the same reaction from friends and family when I travel alone. It's always the same fear for the woman alone. Oddly, I never get this reaction when i travel alone on business...only when I want to vacation by myself. Like you, while I use common sense I have never been harmed when I am off on one of my adventures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107377454211431928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-67611560406458961922007-12-02T09:48:00.000-07:002007-12-02T09:48:00.000-07:00What you write about fear is one of those simple t...What you write about fear is one of those simple truths we should all know, and most do not - especially these days - which is tragic.
