Close some embassies
Senator Franklin Drilon’s suggestion to close some Philippine embassies and consulates is timely in light of a report of efforts to reduce Department of Foreign Affairs funding by 40 percent from the national budget. There are at present 67 embassies and 23 consulates worldwide.

10 ideas for solo travelers who would like some company
Whether by necessity or choice, a quarter of Americans take at least one vacation by themselves each year. Some solo travelers are single. Some have partners who dislike travel or have different interests or can’t get away. Some just crave freedom. But all face the same question: What’s the best trip for the person traveling alone?

Travelling alone but still up for some company?

Lietuva

I know Lithuania has some festivals that include folk or darkwave music, so I figured I’d try to find out some more.

The only band I know of though is Reqiuem Aeternum, which is symphonic doom. (Andy probably listens to them. ;D )

Suggestions please?

I am considering/in the planning stages of taking a trip through Europe and Asia during the 2009 year.

Rather than this being a hectic & rushed, short vacation, I am intending for this to be an extended leisurely trip (at least 3 – 4 months (if not longer) through Europe & 1 – 2 months in Asia)

Because this is not only going to be my first “solo trip” without my parents & family (yes, I know, that’s embarrassing!!) but also my first time traveling internationally to a foreign country/countries, with the exception of going to India with my family, to visit relatives, I would really appreciate any help, advice or travel tips that I can get from those familiar with travel in Europe and Asia,

In addition to the usual/classic European & Asian travel destinations (France, Japan Germany, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Holland/Netherlands, Italy, Spain, etc.) I am also interested in visiting many “off-the-beaten-path” places like Latvia, Lithuania, Thailand, Belarus, Malaysia, Poland and Ukraine.

The tentative list of all the countries I’m interested in visiting on this trip are:

Europe

England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Italy, Vatican City, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Russia, Turkey, Cyprus

Asia

Japan, China, Mongolia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Bali, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan

I am looking for advice on the best months to go where (with an estimated travel range between January & August of 2009, as I have to finish my travel and be back in the US by beginning of August 4-5, 2009 at the latest), what things to pack for an extended trip, the best & safest, yet most reasonably priced hostels, inns, or hotels, and ways to get around within or between any particular locales,

Also, except for a 3 years of high school Spanish & a semester or so in college – a lot of which I have now forgotten, I am do not (yet!) speak the language(s) of any of the countries I’ll be visiting, so I will be taking along a talking translator with languages for most, if not all the countries I’m going to.

Nevertheless, I would still like to get some tips from anyone who is familiar with the above named countries, and can help me.

Thanks!

We’re driving from Baltimore to Boston (about 8-9 hours) and I need some suggestions on cost effective ways to keep my 18 month old son entertained/fed. We don’t eat fast food so those things are out of the question and we try to keep things pretty healthy. Is there a website available that can help us plan our route so we can plan on places to eat that don’t include rest stops?

Thanks!

Thanks

I’m going in April, and I would love names of shops, places to eat, cool things to see, convenient things to pack, etc. This will be my first time going.

Not sure where to go, feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Cric !
