Me and my travels Margo Stilley, actress 2008-10-27 23:33:58 North Korea. Only about 800 Americans have been in the past 60 years and I just wanted to see what it was like. I'd never been to China and you have to fly in via Beijing. China was so foreign to me, but Pyongyang was so much more alien that, after a week there, it felt like home to be back in Beijing. It was like going back in a time machine to a different era on a different planet. Read more:actress
Boston Tour 2008-10-27 23:32:14 We learned so much today that this is going to be a long blog. Be prepared! First thing, bright and early, we took Daisy to a kennel for the day. Then we drove to a hotel to be picked up by the Boston
Tours mini-bus. The driver stopped at three other spots and picked up others. Then we started the tour.The driver could have been a stand-up comedian. He actually did stand up and deliver his funny l
Palin’s travels: journey to Louis Vuitton and beyond 2008-10-27 23:31:40 OH HOW the world likes to get its knickers in a twist over women's clothes. Or how much women spend on clothes, to be more precise. Only a mass moose slaughter might have caused as much global outrage as the revelations that the Republican committee has spent £90,000 since August clothing vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family. These garments are not washing well with the public. Read more:beyond

Beautiful Beach and a Broken Bus 2008-10-27 23:23:55 Lots of sleeping on the bus, and it was back into France, destination, Nice. On the way we had a stop over at a perfumery. It was just in time, as the tyre under where we were sitting sounded flat. The perfume tour of Fragonard wasn't the most riveting, but I did learn that the alcohol used in perfume comes from beetroot. Who knew! Read more:Beach

Sipadan {Darrell} 2008-10-27 23:09:55 The only reason we had ended up in Malaysian Borneo was that we were looking for a link between the Philippines and Indonesia, and the cheapest option was to fly through Kota Kinabalu.

More Bali 2008-10-27 22:58:34 Sorry guys, somehow my post of Borobudur and Indonesian Borneo didn't get published so just did it now. Chornologically, it's out of order as we went there first when we got to Indonesia. We went to a couple of other performances in Ubud. For fans of the Bob Hope, Bing Crosby "Road to Bali" movie, the dance that Jane Russell does in the movie is based on the Lebong dance. At times the three girls
Which U.S. cities charge travelers the most taxes 2008-10-27 22:57:55 Perhaps you've been one of those folks to receive your hotel bill and you clutch your chest in dismay. "My word! How can this be?" you exclaim. You didn't touch your mini-bar. You didn't use the phone. You didn't slip so much as a washcloth into your luggage. Still, your bill is well over what you expected. What you thought was a bargain vacation has turned into more than you counted on. How come? Read more:charge
Requiem for a Dying Star 2008-11-17 00:48:07 Why do Americans have lawns? Should they despise walking from porch or stoop to Chevy or mailboxon weed or soil? Must that void between abode and avenue be filled−or could the distance lie bare like the pitchy trail of aphelion? Feign feral! If a moat be dug then of course swamp the ditch turbid. Sneering crocodiles sliding under brambles like rusty fishhooks. It is perfectly possible to fall ha Read more:Dying

'Hour' travels through tragedy of past, future 2008-11-17 00:46:42 There is a moment in Wally Lamb's new novel, "The Hour I First Believed," that is excruciating in its heartbreak and loss. It's a scene that might cause readers to drop their books in shock and sadness, or perhaps howl in protest. This turn in the plot took Lamb by surprise, he admits. But in retrospect, and given his penchant for modeling his novels after the archetypical tales of Greek mythology

Traveling Solo: You Are Not Alone 2008-11-17 00:11:38 I just moved out of my parents' house and into a one-bedroom apartment about fifteen minutes away by car. While this does not sound like a daunting "trip," there is more to living alone than meets the eye. In fact, as I type this with no other sound but the whir of my bedroom fan, I am reminded of the pangs of loneliness that I occasionally feel when traveling solo on the far reaches of this plane Read more:Not Alone

Ranong & Victoria Point 2008-11-17 00:09:34 I regretted for not heeding the advice on the forum on which Mobile operator to use in Thailand. The ORANGE SIM card almost made me turn RED.

My frustration is compounded earlier by the courtesy accorded by Budget rent-a-car in Phuket airport for assigning me a

And this one was ok - yay! (Good Dreams) So another day in Krabi and another journey out - this time north-east to Surat Thani. Unfortunately, this particualr journey highlighted a flaw in our travel plans. Our lacsidasical 'we've been
Campeche, Merida and Valladolid 2008-11-17 00:00:19 From Palenque I went to the small colonial town of Campeche for 1 night. Unfortunatly I was there Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, when everything was closed so it was really quiet and there wasn’t much to do. But it was a nice town and it was interesting to walk around the walls, which were built by the Spanish to protect the town from pirates. On Monday afternoon I took a short bus ride
