One of my better tips, weighing the moral obligations of life, does a hotel need to supply toilet paper, should I hoard the stuff because the hotel does not care.

The Hotel was owned by a Swiss Guy, however the Thailand people were not concerned.

Life is not simple, but it is amusing.

Chuck, you have an overwhelming amount of brain wavelength, the amount of data going through the pipe is good.

Thanks for keeping my readers totally confused, incapable of having a clear thought, this is life, confusing and and amusing.

I just discovered your blog while planning my travels. Hmmmm. I read through as much as I could. After reading the first post about Amazon I thought, hey, at least he's trying.

But then I read "As best I can tell, I am one of the only people on planet earth that actually travels and writes."

You don't actually read much then?

"Most Travel Writers get free vacations given to them, they then suck up to the resort, say all sorts of bull about the resort or tourist destination in return for their free trip."

You recently wrote about marketing yourself to Philippine hotels for websites and photographs in exchange for accommodation etc. It's not exact to your statement, but then ..

"I love my BlackBerry Storm"

Yes, similar to the Travel Writer thing again.

"I am not on vacation, I never go home."

Yes you do. You did quite recently before your Africa trip go home!

I was looking at some travel sites recently and came across yours. It looked like a nice read. But I see inconsistency and well ... double standards. I also see a change in the writing style between some posts. And I wonder if it's not being churned out somewhere.

I think you speak with more honesty and straight forwardness than many commercial blogs. But I can't follow it as really it means nothing considering what I just mentioned.

I wish you the best, and hope you change things a little. Shame there's no RSS either!

Trenta stay home, you have zero ability to intuitiively understand people. This makes you a great target for theft, you will be robbed.If you cannot understand motive, intent and probability of comments you are hopelessly a sap.

You want a person to talk perfect, I mix it up between absolutes and reality. I am just like travel, not predictable, but I am real, real people do not make absolute comments.

I am a perpetual traveler, I never stay in one place longer than about 2-3 months. I also do not go home, this means.
"I do not go home to stay."

Yes, I go home to visit.

Please stay home, you are the type person I hate in the USA or Europe.

Amazon.com problems so far.

1. A few emails sent to readers bounced because a malware or filter that stops emails thought the Amazon link was spam.

The reader does not know they never got the email... funny.

I think they offer frames, frames are the kiss of death for SEO sometimes as is AJAX.

GOOD
I am making a page of products I recommend.

Fun, truly nice to have a 24/7 connection, I could actually fix links and make money if I did not travel.. hehehe
Hmm, misrepresented, I am making about 70 dollars per day right now and this is a three year low, I am trying to drive it back up over 100.
