I’ve always enjoyed reading your travel site and this blog is a great compliment to it. I love aviation, flying and photographing foreign carriers and airports too.

I enjoy traveling in the U.S. and abroad and love reading stories from people who share the same interests. If you’re ever through Colorado I’d be happy to take you and Nikki out for dinner.

Cheers from Denver – and Happy New Year — james…

Hi
We started the year with a week skiing in Val D’Isere in France where we enjoyed record amounts of snow, and lots of lovely sunshine and great conditions.
We then went to Ibiza in July with a big group of friends. This was a week of sun and fun and lots of partying!
The highlight of 2009 was in December when we visited Bangkok for 4 days then Phuket for 10 days. We found both places interesting, with Bangkok in particular being a real new experience. We enjoyed Phuket, but probably preferred Koh Samui as it was smaller and less crowded.
No plans for 2010 yet, will keep you posted..

I spent 4.5 weeks travelling through Nepal, Singapore, and Indonesia.

Using a travel agent here in Toronto, I trekked the Everest Base Camp trek with the assistance of a local company. I spent 5 nights in Kathmandu, two nights in Chitwan National Park, but the highlight was the 11-day EBC trek. I didn’t actually vist the Base Camp, instead summiting Kala Patar (5545m). I’ve hiked the Inca Trail in Peru and, like you, summitted Mt Kilimanjaro, but the Himalaya truly represent the pinnacle (pun intended!) of the trekking experience. And gazing at the highest mountain in the world with my own eyes was fantastic.

I then spent three nights in Singapore, just walking around.

From there, I spent one night in Yogyakarta, on the Indonesian island of Java. I visited Prambanan and Borobudur. I then flew to Bali, first spending three nights in Ubud for some siteseeing, and then ending with four nights at a resort on Kuta for some rest and relaxation.

I’ll email you a limk with my photos!

I’m afraid I haven’t got a clue as to where I will travel in 2010. But I’ve borrowed some guidebooks from the library…
