Weekend in Bangkok

December 5, 2012 by DaveLeave a Comment

Bangkok is truly one of the world's great cities - it is a thriving hub of activity both day and night. A world class airport connects to the city via a raised skytrain - which in turn connects to the metro. Bangkok is well known for its horrendous traffic - but with public transportation you can avoid a number of these traffic jams. Budget travelers can head straight to Sukhumvit Road on the skytrain - this is a central area from which to … [Read more...]

The Three Gili’s, Indonesia

October 14, 2012 by Lisa Ellen Niver1 Comment

Sometimes traveling slowly can be more enjoyable than the "preferred", faster transportation. During our return trip to Gili (a series of islands located just off the northwest tip of Lombok, Indonesia) we meandered rather than take the Gili Cat, a brand new speed boat. We had more time to meet people and ultimately arrived in the Gili's after several days in Senggigi. Gili T seems so different compared to our time here in 2008. Is that why … [Read more...]
