Wordsmitty ✍️ Thank you. I need as much encouragement as possible.

In response to "Flygskam"

So, I prefer some convenience, like not taking forever to get somewhere. I also realize that sometimes spending more gets more for the local folks and their economy (not always though).

I do try to play politics and avoid bad-people states and go to good. (does this mean I should be traveling more than staying home?

)

I try to avoid typical tourist clothes and just dress as normal folks do wherever I travel. I don't wear fancy, designer clothes, so sometimes I'm underdressed. I also don't do typical tourist tours or the mobbed-by-tourist attractions.

That doesn't mean I am unshamable, but don't hold perfect ideals against people that aren't perfect, and those that do aren't perfect either.

Best wishes on your upcoming trip. I'll be back home in a few days.

In response to "Modes of travel: train, plane, whatever's sane."

Wordsmitty ✍️ I remember something similar from growing up. Reminds me that I can't remember much any more.

Euro-American airlines aren't the best. They're basically Air Greyhound with wings and minimal service. Not as bad as traveling by mini-van in Thailand though; that can be brutal.

When I was little, we did family trips. My dad was a saleman, so we always drove, sometimes all day. We had a cooler in the back seat that mom could make snacks and sandwiches so dad could continue to drive. Sometimes we'd stop if there was a place to picnic.

International transportation always has better food and service than most of the US carriers. Of course, those seated beyond the curtain near the front have pretty good stuff. They never send leftovers to the back, even after you smell the cookies baking.

Cruises start in early May and go through September, but the rush is mainly June through August to attract families with kids.

In response to "Travel 2025"

Wordsmitty ✍️ I'm thinking of going off-off-season. Need to find when cruises start... and avoid them. I'm assuming that the ferry is fairly frequent. Hop off one day, hop on two days later? The details...

I haven't checked into prices for lodging. If it's like anywhere else in the US it'll be painful regardless of season.

May need more planning than Morocco or Costa Rica. May be more expensive. The advantage is that it's "close" and not ten time zones away.

Thanks for the link.

Be aware that Juneau in the summer becomes swamped with cruise ship tourists during most days. Avoiding the port area might mitigate some of that issue, but local sites will mostly be full. Sitka has more history. Didn't get to Ketchikan, so can't comment, but all have some cruise ships. Here's a site to check to get links to find out what ships are at ports each day. Good to know in advance wherever you are going that has a port, but especially smaller places than can get overwhelmed or become much different on ship days. https://www.whatsinport.com/

Roi Et, Suvanaphum, Surin

To Neil:

1. I try to blog every day but some days it's just the basics so I don't forget. I need to do a blog entry focused on what I've learned about traveling, eating, staying places and the people!

2. I met a young man from Utah (his twin lives here too) and his wife from Hua Hin (she's from Surin). They have a daughter and a son.

3. I've taken a bus in the USA for 30+ hours; but, I was "younger". 14 hours *sigh* Yes, Mochit... I'd rather not have to transfer buses.

4. Suvanaphum is very old and important in the history of Roi Et. I do want to visit; but, my lack of Thai meant that I didn't figure out how to get there. I thought mini-van or songthaew. The bus to Surin goes there. Easy-peasy day trip. Now I know.

5. I plan to come back Dec-Jan-Feb but nothing is planned yet. I'd stay one month in Roi Et if I could.

6. I have Line (new to me) and Messenger.

7. I go back to the USA Nov. 10.
