How about some camel meat for dinner in Dunghuang?!
And "choucou" or " Chocolate Beignets" on the beach in France!

All is possible...
Wow, Bob, this is within the realm of possibility! I'm completely clueless of my plans after this week when I'll meet with Brendan, but I will surely still be in Bolivia in May. I'll do my best to see if we can get together. After all, I was a vagabond Navy brat and so admire your writing those old blogs for your kids. Regarding the reciprocal fees, I do agree with you as to why we impose them; it's just sad for the sincere travelers down here who'd like to experience first-hand that which they see in the media. Oh well, how lucky for us that we were born on the easy side of life! See you and Linda in May!

Wow, what an adventure!
I'll still be down here then, but I think it would be a miracle if we were in the same spots at the same time. The Bolivian visa is good for 5 years, so I've surprised myself and am back this year for another 3 months. Those reciprocal visas are so sad--the US charges visitors from poor countries this same amount to enter our country, but we don't charge tourists from rich countries in Europe and Asia to enter. I don't like paying the visas, but I don't blame them for charging us either. Have fun planning your details! Who knows, maybe we'll meet!

Don't go too soon...
...I haven't caught up with all your other blogs yet!

I am so excited for you!
Wow, this will be a great trip. Good job on the airlines. It really does take some finagling and perseverance to get the right flights. I agree with the visa costs associated with many South American cities, but it is all part of it. You will be in for a great time. I can't wait to read your blogs.

Sooooo good to get this. Fabulous photos and info. Thanks for taking the time to capture this history.

Beautiful Meet-up
I love this community and the bonds. What an awesome meet-up!! Looking forward to your next post (^_^)

Great info and pics!
As you know I am here now, I originally wanted to do the whole Samarkand, Khiva and Bukhara thing but due to working conditions here I am unable to and will just skip it in an effort to just fold on this hand. I will have a blog which I will post this weekend about my time here (in Tashkent) and get some other information for travelers as well as warnings, but will be safe about it and publish after I cross the border in Kazak ( EVERYTHING is monitored tightly here). The pics looks awesome and very well written! I enjoyed thoroughly! -Greg

I love seeing photos like this on Travelblog!
Such images demonstrate what a wonderful community we have - and how our common bond of travel means that there are no strangers on this site, but only friends we are yet to meet in person.

did you see I posted a very similar photo?
Hello! I was looking at your blog entries and realized I had posted a very similar picture when I flew from Beijing back to Bishkek. Thought it was funny since we really did share similar experiences and feelings on this Silk Road. I hope this finds you well. Take care!

Good to see Travel bloggers getting together
World travelers unite. Sounds like you had a great time and conversations.
