Extract from my collection of road trips in Thailand, Laos and Malaysia. A road trip out of the Kingdom of Thailand into the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Laos is a landlocked one-party communist country of about 7 million people, surrounded by an equally authoritarian bunch of neighbors; juntas, communists, capitalists, monarchies and... Read More

I have been waiting for months for a refund on a flight that Iceland Air cancelled. By law in the USA and by Iceland Air written policy I am entitled to a full refund because they cancelled my flight. After about two months of asking they finally agreed and sent my application for refund to the refund department. That was mid April. Now... Read More

According to my calendar, I should be arriving in Arles right about now ... My conference in Marseille has been rescheduled for January, and the French government seems intent on hosting it. I should use my e-credits to re-book my flights in the next couple weeks. My original plan was to take two weeks vacation to explore Aix, Arles, and the cou... Read More

We had late March flights booked on Brussels Airlines from Brussels to Tel Aviv. I wanted to get preferential seating so I paid a lot more and purchased Flex&Fast tickets. I later found out these are refundable tickets. When I tried to refund them I went in circles between their customer service line and web site which never got me to a pl... Read More

On May 30, right in the weekend before NL relaxed its "intelligent lockdown". I've got more footage, but I'm learning the camera and the workflow, so please bear with me as I learn. [ame]https://vimeo.com/424508169[/ame] This is the Amsterdam I remember from the 1990s. Interesting too, that I could hear almost no English on the street and... Read More

I sent this off today to Virgin Atlantic who has been stalling in providing my refund. It's been two months and they are slow processing due to Covid?

With a lot - a lot - of time on my hands these past weeks, I've been doing a lot of work scanning old pictures and renewing old memories.

If you were only to have one last trip to France where would you visit. For me it would be Australian Remembrance Trail, and to see the caves in Naours where some ANZACS wrote on the walls of the caves. Read More

While doing some research for our next trip to Switzerland I ran across a reference to Zinal, a place I'd never heard of. It seems to be a good hiking area, and because we go to Switzerland primarily to hike, I became intrigued, but can't find much about it online. Would Zinal make a good base for three or four days of hiking? It seems the c... Read More

Now that we are all dreaming about holidays... For years I have dreamed of going to one of those stilt houses that you see on the cover of travel brochures. You know, the ones where there is a row of thatched houses stretching out into a blue blue sea, and in the morning you just step straight off your patio into the water. Normally you see them...

We're heading to Wyoming in our camper for about 10 days. We'll be entering the state through Laramie and leaving through Cody as we head into South Dakota.

This in October 2020, of course, maybe. But the weather might be good, and i've always wanted to experience the vineyards of Bordeaux. I studied enology and viticulture in college, picked grapes and worked for a winery in Napa Co, Cali so such a trip would be great. Today's plan is to take ferry from Cork IR to Brest FR.
