They might revoke my membership. 1) I didn't go overland - backpacker betrayal numero uno. Monday morning I arise to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I sheepishly ask Sonu if I can have some. "Ma'am. The coffee is for you.". Yeah, I guess.".

Ranting Around The World: October 2005
http://jengill.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Ranting Around The World. And other travel exaltations -. Wednesday, October 19, 2005. Part 4 - Southern Cambodia, Oct. 2005. There is no public transportation system in Cambodia. The most common modes of travel include private buses, private taxis (beat-up old Camrys), tuk-tuks, rickshaws and motodups (motorcycle taxis - helmet not included). Now you'd think that if you're considering killing yourself, sightseeing wouldn't be a top priority. There's probably only one thing you're interested in doing.

Andy knows when I'm coming in, so I sit in the lobby and wait. When he arrives, we hug like we've know each other for years. After spending 1 week together on the road, we are now old friends. Someone who knows me: a rarity on the rugged road of travel. Andy shows me around town. "Where's the Starbucks? The most i...

Stuff on the Road.....: November 2006
http://stuffontheroad.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Stuff on the Road. Friday, November 10, 2006. Wow, traffic reporters sure can be specific. Joe McConnell was giving me the update this morning. It was friggin' early - around 7:00am (I had an early meeting), so I didn't have to deal with too many cars on the road. But I still enjoy the reports. This morning, Joe said traffic was backed up somewhere in the East Bay because of a fiberglass ladder. Posted by Life in the Fast Lane at 5:36 PM. Wednesday, November 08, 2006. I don't know if it was a Dyson, but ...

Ranting Around The World. And other travel exaltations -. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Part 16 - Mongolia (Me and Ewan). My travel lull is over. I'M IN MONGOLIA. MONGOLIA! I am on a train going through the desert in MONGOLIA! My original thought in coming to Mongolia was "Hey, I'll be in Beijing. I'll just pop on over to Ulan Batar for a couple days and then come back. Then I can say I've been to Mongolia. How cool would that be! You know you're in Mongolia when asphalt gives way to dirt. Zen, Gina and I are...

FIRES FAIRY TALES AND FLOODS. Come 'er. I'll give you a foot massage.". Hasn't he seen Pulp Fiction? Doesn't he know that there is no such thing as a platonic foot massage? Not between a man and woman. Unless it's your dad or crazy uncle. That should have been my first clue. You and me.". You and me who? It will t...

Ranting Around The World: March 2006
http://jengill.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Ranting Around The World. And other travel exaltations -. Thursday, March 16, 2006. Part 11 - Bagan, Myanmar. The fast boat from Mandalay to Bagan is an easy 11 hours. I board at 5:30 am, trying not to expect too much, perhaps something like the boats in Thailand which are dangerously overcrowded and void of any type of seating. I am filled with joy and thanks as I enter the main cabin and see actual airplane-like chairs. The sweet sweet release of sleep awaits. This is a new one. Cherie, who arrived...

Prateek, the cranky astrologer, asks me when I'll be leaving Rishikesh. I'm leaving Saturday. I'm going to Delhi and then Mysore to study yoga.". You're not going to Mysore.". What do you mean I'm not going to Mysore? I'm going to Mysore! If you get to Mysore you email me.". He has freaked me out yet again.
