I'd say that 55-liter pack would get onto a plane w/o too much issue. I'm using a 51-liter pack now, and never been a problem. Hell, even got away 100 of the time taking onboard with the 'ol 65-liter I use to use... though the times, they are a changin'. That attached bag would have to go, without a doubt. I'd never use it (as mentioned in the survey).

I 'discovered' these door knob cup covers myself here in Bangkok in June, and couldn't believe I haven't been traveling from the start. Tried an Internet search to find some additional photo examples to show others w/o need of e-mailing photos, but just can't seem to find any. Amazing that I haven't seen them for sale elsewhere in the globe (or maybe just never noticed them). Invaluable.

I came to terms a long time ago with the RSS thing. Regular readers know what your adverts look like and where they're at on the page. As a result, they're the biggest group to suffer 'ad blindness'.
Unles you're getting paid on advert exposures, RSS subscribers taken back to the page probably aren't going to make you any more money.

I found lots of mouths full of gold in Quetzaltenango and nearby villages (like Totonicapán).
Not unlike the urban black male of the USA who sports a "grill" full of (often fake but not always) gold teeth, being able to afford to have your teeth outlines in gold is a sign of prosperity and social affluence. I've seen the entire set of upper teeth outlined in gold (in what I would assume is a rather permanent procedure).

Best airport I've traveled through: Narita, Japan, December/January 2004/2005.
Walked off a noisy flight and entered the Zen of airports. Silence. Plasma screens in the waiting lounge displaying gate areas. Proper signage.
Most importantly, US$5 for 30 minutes of the best shower money can buy after the first experience of going without hot water for half a month before a long flight home (just a blink of the eye compared to the multi-month withdrawal experienced in 2006).

What I think is amazing is that in over nine years of travel, you not only haven't had your backpack nabbed, but that it hasn't fallen off the roof of a bus, been lost by an airport, taken at gun/knife point, or any of the other countless ways you can lose your "turtle shell." Well done.

hehe -- I totally understand. I don't use these guys (too pricey for my hobo-blood), but I hear great things: http://www.dreamhost.com/

Ahh I see. Wow -- I think you should put out a call for help finding a new 3rd party host for the site -- $200/ is pretty steep, and things like load balancing is just a part of a normal hosting companies hardware setup.
For example, my current host (for $10/month) allows me 5GB & 70GB/transfer per month!
I think that collectively we can find a wonderful new home for hobotraveler.com and REDUCE your costs, not increase them!

Out of curiosity, where does $600 a month (or $200) come from? Are rolling up your time as an expense, or are you possibly thinking of paying someone (people?) to maintain the site? With hosting prices as they are, I just can't see the hobo-logic in such a high reoccurring expense!
