A Little Adrift...A RTW Travel Blog : A Little Review...Ah, Saturday

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:01:52 +0000

You caught me! I did get behind on the stats, overhauling that right this second actually. Final count was 13 total journeys (not including changing planes for layovers) and includes the puddle jumpers I did between India to Nepal, then one from Czech to Amsterdam, etc. I paid for one flight that I didn't end up taking...that sucked. But it was fun to book as I went, I'll likely never do it any other way ;-) but it's not for the feint of heart, lol!

Thanks Robin! I spent some time in Clifden and in the smaller towns around there and thought that it was just amazingly friendly and peaceful; you can bet that I'll be back :-)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I will definitely let you know next time I make it that way. I love visiting Ireland so much that you just might see me over there again soon! :-)

Thanks Amy! I loved that aspect of traveling in Asia, it was a lot of fun most of the time (and a pain in the butt the rest of the time!) :-)

True about the changing of the dates and such on the RTW tickets, I just hate that you have to nail down a route ahead of time! I can't decide that far in advance :-) Did you get a RTW ticket?

They really were an easy and relaxing way to end it. I had lots of time to hike around and get my thoughts together :-) Home now, well this is altogether not so tranquil! lol. ;-)

Here, here, you need a little germy-ness in your life - keeps it all more interesting ;-) and likely strengthens your immune system.

Glad you're with me Lisandra! I like the chap-stick idea...it was cold that day so I likely had some on, score! You crack me up w/the herpes comment, lol. :-)

Oh my god! Hoping blood was not involved in this story at any point...at least you should be set for life as far as the gifts of the stone are concerned! :-)

I'd hoped you back me up Deb!! And I soo agree about the germs - they say that kids who grow up in households with dogs and cats have stronger immune systems because they're exposed to more germs.. they're not all bad :-)

Lol! No, def not harness-worthy :-) All of the mom's I know have been battling flu viruses these last few weeks, sorry to hear that it stuck near you guys too! Hope the little ones are better :-) And glad to have some support about kissing the rock! I mean, exactly, you're all the way over there!

You're welcome Curtis! Glad that it will come in handy. Safe and happy travels and stop back in and let me know how you're trip goes - I haven't been to Japan yet but really want to go!! :-)

Hi! You are most welcome and I am so glad that you found the budget helpful! Let me know if you can't find the downloadable spreadsheet, I posted it about a week ago! :-) I checked out your blog- looks like the setup is coming along nicely and I look forward to reading about your travels. Don't hesitate to shoot me an email if I can help in any way :-)

You never saw it!! I succumb to the touristy too much to have missed it. So far though it seems as though no one else would have kissed it! Sheesh :-) Perhaps though you'd still get some of the benefits from a blown kiss - I like it, nice compromise ;-)

You'd have loved Blarney Castle then - it was really quite pretty :-) I lived watching the others too - showed me how ridiculous I had just looked!

Thanks John for the feedback John! It is really frustrating to explain to people the full potential of Twitter if they haven't tried it themselves and given it a fair chance - you really can learn so much from the other tweeters, good luck finding the local meet ups!

Thanks! I've actually followed your lead to a great extent when I was first getting started on it over the summer and learning the Twitter etiquette shall we call it? :-) I look forward to seeing how tweet-ups work for you on the road - I didn't get a chance to use it to it's full extent, but Andy raves about the potential!
