Driving in Myanmar

Bus Station in Yangon, Myanmar

I made the mistake of trying to book a last minute flight to Bagan and not surprisingly nothing was available.  My only option was an overnight bus, a 12-hour journey departing at 6pm arriving early next morning.  Not fun.  At least if I were flying 12 hours, I would have been earning a nice chunk [...]

Laundry Service in Bali

On a trip around the world earlier this year, I managed the trip without checking a single piece of luggage.  The kicker was that some of the item brought were seldomly used so I could have gotten away with less. There were two reasons why I was able to pull this off.  One, it was [...]
