Thanks Geoff Responds:

Name: H.H. CommentsHi~ I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I've enjoyed browsing through your site. I found your site after looking for Contiki info on Africa tours and once I found your site, I kept reading about your other adventures as well :-) I've been intending to put together a similar site for my own travel experiences and your site will be good inspiration for me to finally finish my site. Anyway, thanks for sharing and have fun planning your future trips. H.H. Geoff Responds:
Name: James CommentsWell I read your Breakfast at Frys and I gotta say yea thats about right... I work their... so every day i go to hell just waiting to get off work to go home. See Frys might have better service if they made it nice to work thier. the truth is that they punish the employees for not selling their PG's ( Perfomance Guarntees) by making them atten a so called PG Class every week if they dont make their set goal. So That make all sales people go after the few items that have PG available and then they are supposed to shove the PG down the customers thoat or go to PG Class.. BUT WAIT THATS NOT ALL!!! If a sales person does not make the set sales or pg goals well then they go on "Probation" which is you have to bring your sells up to par or you go on suspension..aka they dont put you on the schedual for about 7-14 days while still technically employed then fire you.. ya see if they do that chances are you will go loking for a tmp job and that way you cant collect unemployment. Unless you can go with out a paycheck for 7 - 14 days then when they fire you you have to fight with them on the unemployment thing. Now for the added bounus ... see the Sales and The non sales persons are supposed to keep up on makeing the store nice. well thats ok. really if they give you good schematics(diagrams or sheets that show how they want to product place), theise are usally not correct and parts of the schematic dont work thus making it look like crap, but its your fault, then they dont give you the supplies to do the job, see theirs this red tape that marks where the bound of each product are on the shelfs... well at frys this red tape is like gold, you cant get any or if you do it so little that you can do your job right. and if you dont do your job right then you get written up and eventually you will be terminated. well i am sure i can go on and on and on but you are prolly getting tired of reading this by now or have already stoped.. so ill stop.. BTW Great site i realy enjoyed it hehe James P Shufelt.. Geoff Responds:
Name: J Hanley CommentsYour comments about Scotland clearly indicate why most Europeans do not wish to Holiday in America. I have been to America several times and on my 1st visit I was asked where I came from, not only did the person who asked the question not know where in Europe Scotland was but they did not have know that we spoke two languages. Your ignorance and lack of education is apparent in your writing. The Scots are a proud nation and have invented many objects the Americans could not live without (TV&Telephone). Next time you make a satirical comment about a nation make sure you are correct. Geoff Responds:
Name: JimBones CommentsGreat Site you have here
Name: Richard Quinn CommentsHi there Like your site. Well done. Had a bit of a laugh at the reference in your piece on Surfers Paradise (which is just down the road) referring to "woolie" as the local moniker for "Bigfoot". I think the term we use is actually "yowie" (there is even a brand of chocolate by that name over here which is shaped like a bigfoot). Not sure where "woolie" might have come from but then I guess aussie accents might be as tough for the odd seppo to decipher as a cajun dialect from the deep south might be for us down under to understand). Happy travels :-) Hope you get back to Oz sometime. Geoff Responds:
Name: Kenneth Commentslol didn't mean to imply that america is inferior hehe sorry :) still even though "There have been people in the Americas for thousands of years", that doesn NOT enrich the culture and heritage of a country. There are periods of the Maltese history which are culturally poor, and the time before the european colonization, while not entirely poor (not at all) is still RELATIVELY poor in cultural achievements. Just by simply existing, a people is not culturally influential. Won't bother again, promise :) Geoff Responds:
Name: Kenneth CommentsI just read the posts, and while I am not supporting the 'Maltese' guy's claims and insults (I don't even know why did he insult you), I would just like to point out that America's heritage (which is the inheritance left by the forefathers of a civilization) is by FAR shorter than Malta's or any other european country's for that matter. Now I'm not saying this in hatred or to offend (the fact that America has a shorter history doesn't make it automatically inferior) but I was curious since I didn't understand what Geoff meant by "in a European sense". History is a global science, not limited certain parts of the world. We only restrict history to certain eras and geographical places to understand it better. And while it is true that life is not dangerous EVERYWHERE in the us (I do have family living there), generally speaking life is MUCH more dangerous than in our tiny island. Even the crime rate is much smaller. Again I'm not saying this to prove a point, or to offend anyone, I am just stating the facts...correcting the mistakes rather. Geoff Responds:
Name: Mark Dunn CommentsG'day, This is going to sound mighty odd to you in all probablility. But I'm trying to track down a friend from Technical College a few years ago. When I punched in their name in dogpile your web site was the first to pop up. Her name is Joanne McLuckie, the question I have is this "Was she from Sydney, Australia? If so could you pass on my email address please? If not then thanks for your time and keep up the good work with your site. BTW are you on ICQ? If so my number is 34447672 Geoff Responds:
Name: Jodi Rankin CommentsDear Geoff, Thank you for my Christmas card, it was great to hear from you! I see you made it to Japan! That must have been a wonderful trip. Take care and Happy New Year! Jodi
