Hi folks, I got my 6 month Indian visa before I left The States thinking that India was early enough in my trip that 6 months would cover me. Well now it...

another thought: Panama. i'd most want to see Panama Canal and San Blas islands. don't know - yet - about other places there, so recomendations welcome. ...
I'd say Indonesia is a good option. I suspect that you would be less romantic about the Roma if you lived in Europe 2 islands in 2.5 makes more sense than 3....
Hey Shira, Indonesia OWNS, but it's a one-month trip. There's a lot to see, plus the whole island-hopping requires time since in many cases you need to take...
2.5 weeks for Indonesia? No definitely not But you can get a taste, Ubud in Bali and YOGYAKARTA in Java and see Borobudur and the other sites there, But even...
Hi Shira, I haven't been to Indonesia or Panama, but I'm going to leave in August on a year-long RTW trip that includes both countries, so I've read quite a...

A pretty good summary from Charel. A few comments. Bocas del Toro is certainly worth a visit. Its pretty laid back, but has been rather taken over by ...
certainly it would be foolish to try and see all of indonesia in less than a month (u probably need two months) but I wouldnt let that put you off unless the...

Malaria treatment is a long standing issue for RTW travellers. Opinion differs over whether you are better to take tablets in the hope of preventing it or take...
I got back to Nairobi a couple of days ago and within a few hours had been assailed by 6 or 7 street boys who relieved me of my cash. Luckily I was unhurt and...
Hi Wade, Sad to hear on both accounts, though it could also have been much much worse, so I suppose you are actually very lucky. Good general advice on safety...
Sorry to hear that Wade; welcome to Nairobbery. I was lucky in that I met a local family my second day in Nairobi (I was travelling alone) so I had a constant...
I had no problems buying doxy in Thailand. I haven't bought it in Central America, though pharmacies seemed to be well-stocked there. I agree with Wade that...
Goodness Wade, Your perspective is nice to read. Let your stuff go. Inconveniene is the worst case scenario. After living in Southern Africa for a year...
