Hiring a Driver Abroad

…America or the deserts of the Middle East and North Africa. If you have a newer digital camera, it is amazing how good pictures can come out while you are racing the wrong way in a car. As long as you feel comfortable that your driver will not crash and kill you, it is nice to be able to rest or sleep while he is driving. A lot of times you are still jetlagged and/or didn’t sleep well the night before or got up early and it is nice to be able to…

…when you are there as you think it is as you are getting to it. Usually it is cloud covered and very eerie looking. You will spend hours peering into centuries old rooms constructed by the Incas well ahead of their time. It is a really amazing place to just relax and take it in. It is one of the new 7 wonders of the world, so take it in and realize how lucky you are to be there and see it before Peru starts severely limiting the amount of tourists…

…w, pacing up and down the aisle as time passed, I was watching men putting new train rails on our train. This was very odd so I decided to check the book and see if it mentioned anything about this. It said that the train tracks in the old Soviet Union are a different size than the rest of Europe and that it can take up to 3 hours to change the width of the rails at border stops. To me this was a slight relief because at least I knew what was happ…

Vegas Baby!

…l be no sleep but hopefully some sun will make up for it as the weather in New York has been awful. I haven’t been to Vegas in a year or so which is a record for me I think so I am looking forward to it. First stop should be In ‘N Out Burger on the way to the Hotel at the Mandalay Bay. It’s kind of funny, if you’ve been to Vegas a few times before, you pretty much know what to expect and it’s different than most trips that you take. There is a dif…
Lonely Planet Fabrications?

…am not accusing them of anything but it has come up several times where a new updated version of LP was inaccurate and it seemed as though the person didn’t really do the research-they were just relying on the old stuff. Particularly on hotels, costs of entry to attractions and especially visas-which is another big thing that travelers like me use the LP for. Anyway, to be honest this doesn’t really effect me because even though this author was t…

…second only to the great acting, props and scenery. I won’t even try to explain what the show was about because any two people who see it may not agree on what happens but if you are in New York or anywhere else that may get the show-check it out. Here is the website. By the way, you will get wet so wear casual clothes and sneakers….
