I just wanted you to know that my husband has been listening to your Sunday finacial show for years and was eager to vote you as governor of Arizona. I “put up” with the economic news to keep him happy. Now that you have begun your world adventure, I find myself enjoying your exploits and adventures around the world. You articulate very well in your descriptions of the history, people, and economics of your ports of call. I am amazed at how interweave the economy, politics and culture of the various countries you have visited. I told my husband that your great understanding of these cultures is because you grasp the importance of their economies and world involvement. You have opended my eyes to tryng to learn more about the global economy and I look forward to your “fireside” tales each Sunday. Thank you, Jeanne Dutton (high school teacher of honors and AP chemistry).

JEANNE, Yours is absolutely one of the nicest emails I’ve received. I you have any classes at your school that would like to follow our adventure, I’d be happy to personalize it a bit for them, and to provide a stream of interesting facts and brain teasers to focus their interest on the many peoples and places we’ll visit.

To be precise: According to the water temperature gauge on our ship, the current water temperature around the Hawaiian Islands is 78 degrees. In the warm tropical air, it’s absolutely perfect!
you asked for suggestions on your site and here is mine: I truly enjoy your financial and political discussions and you often mention articles that I would like to see a web link to. As you can see at drudgereport.com or hotair.com, they both offer links to sites that I dont need to search out. If you can have links to stories that you either report on the radio or thoes you suggest that would be great. Thank you, Ivan
GOOD INPUT, IVAN. Thanks!

I find your sunday morning show very interesting….part travel show, part financial advice. i hope that your trip continues to be fun and informational…i think you should beef up the photo/video section of your web site….it does not quite live up to the radio show commentary…..just a constructive comment.. but thanks for a great show….
Keith:
I thought you were going to put your comments about the sub primes, CEO and financial markets on your web. Can’t find them.

JACK,
I did. Check out the two most recent archived radio shows on the site.

Ahoy Keith!
I met you and got to know you a little in the mid 80’s right before your Senate run.
During all the years that you and your associates did your “strictly financial” show, I just never had enough money to become a regular start to finish listener
But, Keith, now, you’re nailing it. Now, every Sunday morning your show is absolutely part of my weekend. You accompany me while I do my weekly yard work. Then I have been finding myself listening to you while on your site too, and switching over to see lots of Google Earth as you describe the great places you visit. What you are doing is unique! Your in-depth blend of the financial and cultural aspects of faraway places is fascinating!
Thanks for your recent insights, as well, into the frothy Chinese markets and the looming downside of the recent run-up of sub-prime residential real estate mortgages. Sage, as usual.
Despite how fabulously interesting the places you’re going are, I’m betting that what you had planned as a vacation ……… is gradually becoming more of a vocation ……. and feeling like it! Stay with it, man! It’s darn good work.

THANKS, MAL. Very kind comments.

Hide,
Remarkably, we experienced very little seasicknesses. The first two days of our adventure were really the most difficult, with 12-foot seas. We experienced seas close to that about a week later, but by then we were used to them!
During those first two days we all had sour stomachs, and one crew member fed the fishes. But it quickly passed.
I wore a sea-sickness patches for the first five days, but I was the only crew member who did so.
You’d be surprised how the human body adjusts. Even by the end of the second day, the prevailing question on board was, “What’s for dinner?”
