		<title>The End: Bali, Singapore, Melbourne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bali is a much larger island than we&#8217;d imagined, so we can say that we&#8217;ve had but a small taste of it.  

Considering that we only booked flights in and out of there to fill an 8 day gap in our itinerary, it was nice to taste that über-popular destination that, despite being so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Southward Bound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The days remaining in the trip are ticking down very quickly now. In some respects it&#8217;s quite refreshing to feel like a traveler with limited time; we&#8217;ve regained that sense of urgency to see, feel and do stuff.  As in Central America we&#8217;ve been striking toward the equator, but this time we&#8217;re aiming for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Opportunities &amp; Lounges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were pleasantly surprised after traversing security for our departure from the “low cost airline terminal” in Kuala Lumpur that we had access to a rather nice lounge fortified amongst the human zoo that forms the public gate area in most all airports we&#8217;ve visited.
This one, named “Plaza Premium Lounge” had a novel feature that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing nothing in Thailand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That title is simultaneously accurate and misleading.  As the sun sets over Loh Dalam bay in that spectacular Thai fashion I&#8217;m sitting on our rusty balcony considering the past 30 days as we&#8217;ve wandered from beach to island.  While we certainly haven&#8217;t been over-doing it, I can tally a reasonable list of stuff [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bangkok</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bangkok was something of an unexpected delight.  We&#8217;d headed to Thailand in a bid to escape noise, mayhem and city life in general, so while we weren&#8217;t expecting Bangkok to fit the bill, we thought we ought to spend a few days and give it a chance to impress us. 

We were suitably impressed. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vietnam: Hanoi &amp; Ha Long Bay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
To be frank, Vietnam was a little disappointing. Our primary error was most likely assuming that the place would be broadly similar to Thailand; and given that the only bit of Thailand we&#8217;d seen up until that point was the über-touristy tropical paradise of Phuket, all the more silly an assumption to make.

Vietnam is, in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hong Kong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
7 months, 25 countries, 25 flights, and 93 beer varieties later we arrived in Hong Kong. Coming from Jordan (and hence omitting India) it was a longer haul flight than we&#8217;d had for quite sometime, and we experienced proper jet-lag for the first time, really, since beginning in Hawaii.

We spent a fantastic week marveling at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jordan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m sitting at our hotel waiting for a lift to the airport.  We&#8217;re enjoying our first beer in 5 days to celebrate an excellent “local” experience: A bike ride with a group of 50+ riders down to the Dead Sea coast. 
It&#8217;s a nice way to end our brief Jordanian adventure – there&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Istanbul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sad to say, the Doner Kebab is equally rubbish in Istanbul.  We&#8217;re sort of gob-smacked that this is the reality: In Turkey you really can&#8217;t get a decent kebab-in-bread-for-fast-eating.  No garlic sauce (or indeed any sauce at all), miserly meat portions, flaccid lettuce and average bread.  Even the use of pita bread [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mediterranean Turkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We left the Greek islands and arrived in Bodrum, Turkey after short ferry ride. It&#8217;s a nice Mediterranean coastal town, albeit heavily trafficked by day trippers resulting in most of the nicest waterfront eateries serving full English breakfasts complete with “M&#038;S Pork Sausage”.  The prices and the views were right, though.
We arrived just in [...]]]></description>
