surrounded by speedos

December 22nd, 2009 Koren & Erin

So we left Bangkok on Thursday and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. One night was definetely enough with being bombarded by tuk tuk drivers who didn’t speak any english and just wanted to take you places that you didn’t want to go. Our favourite word there was no thank you but even  Read More »

December 22nd, 2009 DaisyRTW

For my last adventure in San Francisco, I headed off to Yosemite National Park for a day trip. After a very early start we hit the freeway and were in the park by mid-morning. We headed straight to what Yosemite is famous for, El Capitano and Half Dome. These are 2 huge granite rocks that  Read More »

Howdy,
We pick up our story in San Cristobal de Las Casas…..
We went to visit the nearby highland village (chicken sacrificing village), which was an eye opener! The church is quite amazing, they have no pews and the floor is covered in pine needles and there is candles everywhere (the villagers go in there to pray  Read More »

Entry #2: Memphis

December 21st, 2009 lucie a

After enjoying the Nashville country music scene – a scene based around a genre of music that is, quite honestly, of no real interest to me – I was fairly excited to move onto Memphis, the home of rock and roll, and the birthplace of many a soul star’s rise. Unfortunately, my initial foray  Read More »

Half Way! El Tunco El Salvador

December 21st, 2009 NeilandKirst

We realised tonight is our real half way point! Feels like we have had a lifetime of holidays over the last six weeks and still another new country to see; Nicaragua early next week.
Our plan was to make the dash across Honduras by bus but as the elections are currently going on it’s just  Read More »

Sydney and Melbourne

December 21st, 2009 Dave S

I landed in Sydney after a 9 hour flight from Hong Kong and so that marked the end of my time in Asia and the start of Australasia (or Oceania if you want to call it that). Even as I checked in to my hostel at 8am, I could tell it was going to be  Read More »

Who Says You Need To Leave The Country To Travel?

December 21st, 2009 Michellita

How do you define traveling? Some countries or thoughts that may come to mind include: Sierra Leone, scuba diving off of Belize, or perhaps a family vacation to Europe.I partly define traveling by a change in my state of mind, where I am transported into such a different environment that I learn to see people,  Read More »

from atlanta to Charleston

December 21st, 2009 lucie a

Atlanta, Georgia is the home of Coca-Cola – a typically American, consumer-driven way to summarise a place, – but in this case, it’s self-evident. We chose Atlanta because of its location as a useful stop-over, rather than out of any particular desire to go there; the skies were grey with the promise of rain, and  Read More »
