• Little Performer

  
  Foodie and Travel Bug — Authority: 119
  Little performer at an animal show in Phuket. Trained to entertain hordes of touring visitors. One little male (from the entourage of performers lined up for the day) got kind of aggressive and hissed at a tourist when the latter attempted to move closer or touch it (I cant remember now). Its one thing to enjoy animal ...

• Travelling is different these days

  
  Live from Waterloo — Authority: 431
  I remember the few times when we travelled while I was a child. For example, a long trip to Cordoba back in 1976. It was my mother, my step dad Daniel and me and my then two brothers, plus Daniels two girls. Yup, seven of us in a car, five sitting in the back... There was absolutely nothing for us to do but look ...

• Two In One Post

  
  Foodie and Travel Bug — Authority: 119
  A different kind of traffic congestion. The cave (and limestone karsts) canoeing kind. This scene was at the sight of cave canoeing excursion which was part of my day island trip. We had just finished viewing limestone karsts and the exit is a narrow passageway that can fit one to two canoes at one time. Imagine a ...

• The Disappointing Moral of “Up in the Air”

  
  Perceptive Travel Blog — Authority: 123
  I realize I’m going against the tide with what I have to say about Up in the Air, George Clooney’s new movie. It’s been well-received, not only in the film community, where it was just nominated for several Golden Globes, but also in the travel community.  There are many things I enjoyed about the movie, [...]

  Foodie and Travel Bug — Authority: 119
  I have decided to name this a sad canoeing experience. I am no canoeing expert. I have only ever canoed one time in my entire life. And that was like many years ago. Wasnt too bad. At least I remembered I got the canoe moving around and then about before deciding its best to head back to shore lest we drift further ...

• Moving Around Phuket

  
  Foodie and Travel Bug — Authority: 119
  Motorcycles and taxis are plentiful in Phuket. I saw lots of people (locals and foreigners) zipping past in motorcycles. Taxis are parked all along the street in the Patong Beach area. Getting a ride in one is easy. You just need to negotiate a price and the taxi will take you to your destination. A ride in the red ...

  (image source: Prescott, Flickr ) I’m baaaaack! There’s nothing like flying home after a long trip and soaring over the spectacular site of a sparkling Sydney Harbour in Summer-time. The Harbour Bridge winks, the Opera House smiles and the water shimmers so bright it brings a tear to the eye. Please forgive ...

• From New Zealand, With (SERIOUS) Jetlag

  
  Nomadic Matt's Travel Site — Authority: 122
  I hardly ever get jetlag.  Me and my bottle of Ambien usually become good friends whenever I fly long haul trips. It helps me keep my sleeping schedule normal. Whenever I land, I take another Ambien that night, pass out, and wake up feeling like sunshine and moonbeams.  Yet all did not work out for me this time.  ...
