Travel Suggestions and News
Trans-Siberian Railway - Susannah Palk has a
good article on CNN.com on this classic train journey. Here's
an excerpt:
"Longer than the Great Wall of China and America's historic
Route 66, the 9,300 km track snakes its away across Russia, connecting
Moscow to the far eastern port town of Vladivostok.
While highlights include scenes of astounding natural beauty
including the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lake Baikal -- the
world's oldest and deepest freshwater lake -- the real stars
of the journey are the Russian people, according to Robert Reid,
U.S. travel editor of Lonely Planet."
Traveling Light - Set aside your lightest clothes for
traveling. Travel-slacks can be a pound less than jeans, and
there are weight and space savings to be had with other pieces
of clothing as well. It is possible to travel overseas for as
long as a month with nothing but carry-on luggage. The advantages?
Easier plane boarding, simpler travels, and more safety (less
to be stolen or lost).
