Vols intérieurs en Indonésie English translation pending
Bonne année à tous !
Savez-vous si les liaisons aériennes Jakarta->Flores (Labuanbajo ou Maumere) et Flores->Sulawesi (plutôt nord, Gorontalo ou Manado) existent ? A quelle fréquence ? Quelles compagnies ? En fouinant sur le forum, j'ai cru comprendre que les vols intérieurs depuis ou vers Flores étaient plutôt aléatoires. Assez galère quoi... 🤪 Quelqu'un a t-il testé ?
Merci de m'éclairer ! 😎 Bonne route.

Koh Samet en Thaïlande (ou île Kaeo Phitsaden) English translation pending
"Situé à 40 minutes de "ferry-botte" au large du port de Ban Phé, à 15 km de Rayong et une heure de route de Pattaya, ce havre de paix relatif peut constituer une alternative à l'agitation enveloppante des stations balnéaires pendant les fêtes. L'atmosphère y a une… gueule plus sereine. Les restaurants et bungalows à louer permettent des séjours prolongés. L'accès est facilité par un service
de navettes opérant de 9h30 à 17h au départ de Ban Phé.
Et si vous venez directement de Bangkok, cela ne peut-être que l'antidote idéal. L'île a été déclarée partie intégrante du Parc National de Koh Samet afin de repousser les promoteurs immobiliers.
De ce fait, les plages sont préservées et peuvent rivaliser avantageusement avec Phuket et Koh Samui. Le sable (particulièrement riche en silice) y est d'une telle qualité qu'il est utilisé pour la fabrication du verre. Les collines plantées de cocotiers abritent une faune encore sauvage. La plupart des plages longent les
côtes du nord de l'île et surtout de l'Est, alors que la majeure partie de la côte ouest est caractérisée par des falaises rocheuses.
Activités possibles : sports de plage (masques, tubas et palmes disponibles à la location), planche à voile, pêche en mer, farniente, balades pédestres, lecture, écriture, introspection (n'allez pas au bout, mais au fond de vous-même).
L'esprit de Sunthon Phu (1786-1855), géant de la littérature thaïe, élevé en 1986 par l'UNESCO au rang de "Grand Poète Classique", qui vécut sur l'île et en fit le cadre de son célèbre roman "Phra Aphaimani", habite encore les lieux. Vous vous sentirez vous-même une âme de poète rien qu'en assistant aux couchers de soleil et à l'éternel rituel des étoiles qui s'allument, une à une…
Les hébergements sur les plages de l'île sont nombreux et variés, allant des petits bungalows au confort très précaire aux chambres luxueuses avec climatisation."
Je me permet de faire un peu de publicité, ..., pour une des îles de Thaïlande relativement peu abordée dans vos discutions.
Je pense que vous ne m'en voudrais pas et que cela pourras vous donner quelques occasions de réagir.
Je me permet de copier ici l'article d'un ami qui écris beaucoup mieux que moi et qui ne m'en voudras pas je pense.

Hôtel Koh Samet (Thaïlande) English translation pending
Bonjour à tous,
J'arriverai à Bangkok le 13 Déc et direction Ko Samet où je pensais arriver comme une fleur et choisir un hotel sur place autour de 20 Euros. Le précédent forum sur ko samet m'inquiète un peu. Pensez vous que je puisse trouver un hotel dans ces prix là à cette période sans réservation ? D'autre part, il y a 4 ans j'avais trouvé un site sur la thailande avec plein d'infos qui me seraient utiles maintenant, notament les horaires des bus pour Ko Samet entre autre. Est ce que quelqu'un connait un tel site ? Merci d'avance Sandrine

Réclamation de miles à Flying blue English translation pending
Mon relevé de compte flying blue et celui de mon mari n’ont pas été crédités d’un certain nombre de miles suite à notre dernier voyage. J'ai transmis un courrier le 29 juin 2005 au service de régularisation de miles resté sans effet et sans réponse avec les formulaires de réclamation de miles et copies des pièces justificatives concernant 4 vols, une location Avis et 2 nuits d'hôtel. Etant précisé qu’aucune régularisation en ligne n’était possible pour les vols car le système rejetait le numéro de nos billets. (Ces billets émis le 23/12/04 pour un STRASBOURG - AMSTERDAM - SEATTLE aller et un VANCOUVER -AMSTERDAM -STRASBOURG retour avaient été remplacés le 21/03/05 au guichet KLM de l’aéroport Strasbourg Entzheim par un « coupon » car la compagnie Air Exel ayant cessé ses activités pour des raisons financières ne pouvait plus assurer le STRASBOURG - AMSTERDAM, d’où un transit obligé par PARIS). Suite à un enième appel téléphonique je suis entrée en contact avec « une voix humaine » au bout de je ne sais combien de minutes d'attente, il m’a été déclaré qu’il fallait envoyer les originaux des billets et des cartes d’accès à bord, ce que j'ai fait le 23 aout 2005 en transmettant une nouvelle fois les mêmes documents de vol en original et copie ainsi que les copies des factures d’hôtel et location de véhicule dont les miles seraient en cours de régularisation, ce qui me laissait sceptique (depuis le 29 juin dernier…). Quelle défiance. Sachant que les miles du retour VANCOUVER – AMSTERDAM avaient bien été crédités il est saugrenu d’imaginer être partis de AMSTERDAM (les vols STRASBOURG- PARIS –AMSTERDAM ayant été crédités également) à SEATTLE en bateau, voire à la nage, voire par l’opération du Saint Esprit… De plus, lors d’un précédent voyage à PEKIN en février 2005, j’avais déjà été obligée de formuler des réclamations de miles à fréquence plus pour mon fils (fréquence jeune), mon époux et moi-même. A cause de tous ces désagréments, ma « fidélité » au programme flying blue est mise à rude épreuve et je me pose des questions sur le choix de mon prochain vol. Habitant Strasbourg, je crois que mon choix portera sur Lufthansa qui a également un programme de fidélité, l'aéroport de Francfort n'est pas loin. Je ne sais plus ce que je dois faire....continuer à m'énerver en écrivant....écrire à des associations de consommateurs...porter plainte pour publicité mensongère ou tendancieuse...envoyer une lettre recommandée, mais à qui?....
Conseils sur logement et itinéraire en Europe (urgent) English translation pending
Bonjour!
Je quitte le 15 août pour mon premier voyage en Europe. Je suis dans le rush un peu pour la préparation de ce voyage mais bon.... Horaire personnelle très chargée!!
Je compte faire les villes et régions suivantes: Paris, Londres, Nice, Lyon, Provence, Suisse (Genève). Je compte aller 3 jours à Londres. Cela vaut-il la peine, compte tenu du prix élevé que cela coûte vivre là-bas? (logis, manger). Cela me coûte 90$CA y aller et 125$Ca pour le retour, à part me loger et manger et visiter... Connaissez-vous des auberges de jeunesse à Londres? Que devrais-je visiter compte tenu que je reste 3 jours....Les choses essentielles à voir.....
Connaissez-vous également des auberges de jeunesse à Nice, Lyon, Provence et Genève? (J'en ai déjà pour Paris) Cela me serait bien utile. Avez-vous d'autres conseils utiles à me donner concernant mon itinéraire et compte tenu du fait que c'est mon premier voyage en Europe? En passant, j'y vais seul pour les 2 premières semaines mais je serai accompagnée pour les 2 dernières....donc pour la Suisse et la Provence et Lyon....
Merci beaucoup!

Lettre d'une enfant d'Irak English translation pending
Nombre d'entre vous avez sans doute déjà reçu cette lettre envoyée le lendemain du premier attentat à Londres . Me sentant concernée (malgré nos convictions et pensées, nous faisons partie de " l'axe du bien " 🤪) et ayant été fortement touchée par ce message, je voulais le faire partager.
A Letter to the British People from a daughter of Iraq I'm sending this letter to the British people and in particular to the residents of London. For a period of hours, you have lived through moments of desperate anxiety and horror. In those hours you lost a member of your family or a friend, and we wish to tell you in total honesty that we too grieve when human lives pass away. I cannot tell you how much we hurt whenwe see desperation and pain on the face of another person. For we have lived through this situation - and continue to live through it every day - sinceyour country and the United States formed an alliance and laid plans to attack Iraq. The Prime Minister of your country, Tony Blair, said that those who carried out the explosions did so in the name of Islam. The Secretary of State ofthe United States, Condaleezza Rice, described the bombings as an act of barbarism. The United Nations Security Council met and unanimously condemned the event. I would like to ask you, the free British people, to allow me to inquire: in Whose name was our country blockaded for 12 years? In whose name were our cities bombed using internationally prohibited weapons? In whose name did the British army kill Iraqis and torture them? Was that in your name? Or in the name of religion? Or humanity? Or freedom? Or democracy? What do you call the killing of more than two million children? What do you call the pollution of the soil and the water with depleted uranium and other lethal substances? What do you call what happened in the prisons in Iraq - in Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca and the many other prison camps? What do you call the torture of men, women, and children? What do you call tying bombs to the bodies of prisoners and blowing them apart? What do you call the refinement of methods of torture for use on Iraqi prisoners - such as pulling off limbs, gouging out eyes, putting out cigarettes on their skin, and using cigarette lighters to set fire to the hair on their heads? Does the word "barbaric" adequately describe the behavior of your troops in Iraq? May we ask why the Security Council did not condemn the massacre in al-Amiriyah and what happened in al-Fallujah, Tal'afar, Sadr City, and an-Najaf? Why does the world watch as our people are killed and tortured and not condemn the crimes being committed against us? Are you human beings and we something less? Do you think that only you can feel pain and we can't? In fact it is we who are most aware of how intense is the pain of the mother who has lost her child, or the father who has lost his family. We know very well how painful it is to lose those you love. You don't know our martyrs, but we know them. You don't remember them, but we remember them. You don't cry over them, but we cry over them. Have you heard the name of the little girl Hannan Salih Matrud? Or of the boy Ahmad Jabir Karim? Or Sa'id Shabram? Yes, our dead have names too. They have faces and stories and memories. There was a time when they were among us, laughing and playing. They had dreams, just as you have. They had a tomorrow awaiting them. But today they sleep among us with no tomorrow on which to wake. We don't hate the British people or the peoples of the world. This war was imposed upon us, but we are now fighting it in defense of our selves. Because we want to live in our homeland - the free land of Iraq - and to live as we want to live, not as your government or the American government wish. Let the families of those killed know that responsibility for the Thursday morning London bombings lies with Tony Blair and his policies. Stop your war against our people! Stop the daily killing that your troops commit! End your occupation of our homeland!

Transfert d'aéroport Paris CDG -> Paris Orly English translation pending
Je m'adresse ici aux voyageurs et à nos amis français. Je pars lundi pour Barcelonne via Paris. Le problème c'est que j'ai 4 heures à Paris entre mes deux vols mais sourtout que j'arrive à CDG et que je repars d'Orly. Considérant le temps de récupérer ses bagages et passer les douanes (on m'a dit qu'il n'y avait pas beaucoup de contrôles) et que l'enregistrement de mon second vol ferme 30 minutes avant le départ, il me reste donc environ 3hre pour changer d'aéroport.
J'ai étudié les différentes possibilités abordables (Car AF à 16E et RER-Orlyval à 16, 5E) Je précise aussi que je devrai effectuer mon transfert possiblement dans la circulation pousqu'il sera autour de 7-8-9hre mardi matin. Quelle sera la meilleure de mes options? Avez-vous effectué ce genre de transfert et qu'aviez-vous utilisé?
merci
Patrick

Grèce: Iles de l'Egée du Nord et du Dodécanèse English translation pending
Bonjour à tous,
Certains d'entre vous, seraient-ils allés se balader sur les îles suivantes : Chios, Patmos, Kalimnos, Rhodes, Simi (visite à pied et en pension) et Karpathos ? Je n'ai trouvé aucun récit de camping-caristes sur ces îles.
Si vous avez des bons plans sur des petits coins sympas, plages, villages ... où se poser avec notre camping-car, je suis preneuse.
Egalement pour les restos, visites, artisanat, spécilaités culinaires, balades à pied ou en VTT ou en scooter ...
Enfin, tout ce qui pourrait rendre notre séjour en septembre (ou août si contraintes professionnelles) plus qu'agréable.
Grand merci.

Surbooking: mode d'emploi English translation pending
Bonjour,
considérant les avantages que ça peut engendrer (voyager en business, avoir des miles, ou même de l'argent!), quels sont vos conseils pour être surbooké sur un vol long courrier??
est ce que je peux arriver au check in et dire "bonjour, je suis volontaire"??, est ce que faut arriver tôt ou en retard.?? Précisément, je voyage sur Air France à destination de Pékin un jour de grande affluence... Quelles sont mes chances d'être surbooké, sachant que l'idée de repousser mon départ de 1 ou 2 jours ne me dérange pas?? (si contrepartie bien sûr, suis pas maso qd même!).
merci de partager vos expériences!!

Hawaii sac au dos English translation pending

Je suis retraité de l'enseignement depuis juin 04 et je veux visiter Hawaii cet hiver (15 janvier, 1 mars) en backpacker. Si quelqu'un a déjà fait ce voyage, je veux savoir où allé et combien coûte une journée normale d'hébergement en camping et la bouffe sur ces îles. Le transport d'une ¸ile à l'autre.
Premier voyage dans le sud mais je viens du Canada et j'ai fait l'expérience dans les mouches du Québec alors je me crois prêt...
tout vient à point à qui sait attendre

Airports in the Persian Gulf Emirates
Hi,
Right now, with the war raging in Iran and affecting all the neighboring countries of the Persian Gulf, many airports are completely closed to all traffic.
Several airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and others have almost completely halted their operations.
Whether in the Middle East or Africa, many travelers are stranded—maybe for a long time... A heartfelt thought for them and the struggles this will cause.
Four months ago, I was in Kenya with a flight booked through Qatar Airways... I can’t even imagine how I’d react if I were stuck there now. ??
Wishing all these travelers courage, patience, and success in making it back home.

Requirements for travel to Russia and Mongolia
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Russia and Mongolia, starting from France.
Crossing the border at Poland/Belarus or Georgia/Russia—other borders seem either closed or complicated.
Tourist visas for 3 months with multiple entries.
Do you have any info on Russian companies that cover a 4x4 vehicle for 3 months, and what prices in rubles or euros you’ve paid?
Which bank did you use for expenses? (EuroMastercard and Visa cards no longer work.)
Regarding Russian SIM cards, a new system called "Gosuslugi" has been introduced. How long did it take you to get one, and what steps did you follow?
Thanks

USA Road Trip 2023 - Part 1
In January 2023, we started our second road trip across the United States. We stayed from January to mid-March, which gave us plenty of time to visit several cities, attractions, and parks in multiple states.
This travel journal will be split into two parts due to the considerable number of places we visited.
This first journal covers the following states: Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California, and takes you through the outbound leg of our road trip.
The second journal will showcase the attractions we visited on the return trip, which mainly follows the famous Highway 1 along the Pacific coast.
So, I invite you to keep reading this first journal, which serves as a long recap to help you discover the various attractions we explored throughout this road trip.
Videos are included throughout the recap. Please click on the image to start the video.

Croatia, Montenegro – two victims of overtourism?
Mid-June, two Auvergnats on the starting blocks—off we go to the former Yugoslavia!
We’d already explored some nooks and crannies of northern Croatia back in 2019, so we’re keeping the momentum going by planning a trip to the south of the country and then Montenegro.
On the way back, we’ll drift into Bosnia-Herzegovina just to mix things up a bit!
We’re a little unsure about what to expect in terms of tourist crowds.
Dubrovnik has a reputation for being the hardest-hit city by overtourism, and Kotor and the whole Dalmatian coast aren’t exactly empty...
Luckily, most European countries haven’t started school holidays yet, and some measures seem to have been put in place to limit the flow (like restrictions on the number of cruise ships allowed to dock at the same time).
Maybe we’ll manage to escape the promised hell?
For now, we’re slamming the doors of the Scirocco and heading off to our first stop: northern Italy!

For now, we’re slamming the doors of the Scirocco and heading off to our first stop: northern Italy!
So where are they and what are they doing?
This catchy and somewhat mysterious title comes from several questions I’ve been asking myself.
VF has been back open for a reasonable number of weeks and months now. The number of visitors overall matches past averages, but the number of members online in the last 24 hours seems relatively lower than what we used to see.
Yet, to my surprise, I’m seeing fewer travel journals, way fewer messages, and way fewer questions. I don’t see many new registered users online, and I notice a number of members who are logged in but either aren’t participating or have stopped participating.
Something’s not adding up for me because, in my opinion, VF is still appealing, and I don’t see which other sites could really compete.
Was there a real break between pre- and post-Covid? Does it just take more time for some people to discover the site or learn that it’s active again? Do people now prefer quick consumption on sites like FB or others I’m not familiar with? Where have the site’s old-timers gone, and what are they doing with their time now? What’s really going on here?

One-Month Itinerary from San Francisco to Seattle via Vancouver BC
Hi there,
I’m planning a month-long trip that’ll take me from San Francisco to Seattle, stopping in Vancouver BC along the way. After tweaking this route every which way and trying to balance must-see spots with more relaxed stops (like the Oregon coast), I’ve landed on this itinerary—I’d love your thoughts!
Days 1 and 2: San Francisco Days 3 and 4: Lassen Volcanic Park Days 5 and 6: Crater Lake Days 7 to 9: Portland Day 10: Astoria or Cannon Beach Day 11: Ruby Beach or Forks (for the Hoh Rain Forest) Days 12 and 13: Port Angeles (for Hurricane Ridge) Day 14: Victoria (Vancouver Island) Days 15 to 17: Ucluelet (Vancouver Island) Days 18 to 20: Vancouver BC Days 21 and 22: North Cascades NP Days 23 to 25: Mt. Rainier Days 26 to 28: Seattle
Of course, there’s travel time built in—for example, the third day on Vancouver Island will mostly be eaten up by getting back to the mainland and Vancouver.
Do you think there are any extra stops or anything I’ve missed? A month feels like a lot and not a lot at the same time… Thanks!

Family Road Trip: San Francisco - Portland - San Francisco
Hi there,
We’re planning a family road trip (kids aged 10 and 15) over 23 days between San Francisco and Portland (Northern California and Oregon). It’ll be a loop. We want to take our time with hikes but also enjoy the cities to relax a bit (Portland / SF).
Here’s our itinerary—I’d love your thoughts on the places we’ve picked, suggestions for stops along the way, and whether this route is doable given the distances (especially Tahoe Lake to Crater Lake and Crater Lake to Portland):
Day 1: Arrive in San Francisco midday, head to Yosemite (3 nights). Day 1/2: Yosemite Valley / Glacier Point, etc. Day 3: Tioga Road with a stop at Mono Lake (1 night in Bridgeport). Day 4: Bodie in the morning, then drive to North Lake Tahoe (2 nights in North Lake Tahoe). Day 5: Lake Tahoe. Day 6: Long drive to Crater Lake via Burney Falls? (2 nights in Fort Klamath). Day 7: Crater Lake. Day 8: Drive to Portland via Bend (4 nights in Portland). Days 9–11: Portland + Columbia Gorge. Day 12: Portland to Newport via Highway 101: Cannon Beach/Tillamook (1 night in Newport). Day 13: Newport to Golden Beach via Florence/Oregon Dunes (1 night in Golden Beach). Day 14: Drive to Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park (3 nights near Crescent City). Days 15–16: Redwood National Park (Fern Canyon / Avenue of the Giants, etc.). Day 17: Drive along the coast via Eureka / Fort Bragg (1 night in Willits). Day 18: Drive to San Francisco via Napa Valley (5 nights in SF). Days 19–22: San Francisco. Day 23: Departure.
Everything’s booked but still flexible, so I can adjust if needed.
Thanks in advance!

The "Must-Sees" of the American West
This adventure began during Covid... Yep, Covid turned a lot of things upside down, but most of all, it kept us cooped up for a few months and stopped us from traveling for a while—even longer for a die-hard fan of the American West like me.
While borders were closed, I started imagining what an ideal itinerary might look like—one that would string together all the Southwest must-sees in just two weeks, during the best time of year: September and October. When the U.S. announced in September 2021 that borders would reopen in the coming weeks, I regained hope and began scouting flight tickets for a departure in September 2022.
But here’s the thing: tackling solo hikes, each one tougher than the last, right in the heart of the Wilderness, could be a risky—even reckless—endeavor for a father of three. After a quick chat with some virtual friends who are just as passionate about the Southwest as I am, with good physical condition and nearly the same list of must-visit spots, Franck and his brother Sullivan were in! 🙂
In November, we snagged flight tickets from Nice to San Francisco for the modest sum of 400 €, and a few days later, I booked a Toyota Tacoma pickup for 840 € !
It’s not cheap for just 15 days, and a pickup isn’t exactly ideal for luggage, but the prices for full-size 4x4s have become totally outrageous! Due to border closures, rental companies had to offload a lot of these big 4x4s, which tourists love. Then, supply and demand did the rest !
Franck and I spent the winter and spring trying to cram the equivalent of three weeks of hikes into two. But even with physical limits, we had to stay reasonable! Three to four months before departure, we entered the lotteries for different must-see spots: The Subway, Coyote Buttes North (home to the famous Wave), and Coyote Buttes South (CBS).
The Wave is the holy grail for any Southwest enthusiast. Since 2015, we’ve tried our luck with the online and on-site lotteries about ten times, but the spots are unfortunately limited: just 20 per day. A glimmer of hope, though—since early 2022, that number has increased to 64 people allowed per day, with 48 spots awarded via the online lottery.
After all three of us tried our luck for The Wave, on June 1st at exactly 5 PM, I got an email that started with, "Congratulations! You were successful in the Coyote Buttes North (The Wave) September 2022 Permit Lottery at Coyote Buttes North (The Wave)...". At 5:01 PM, I called Franck, whose dream it’s been for over 20 years—ever since the first photos were published in a travel magazine! He didn’t believe me when I told him, and I had to forward the email for him to finally accept the unbelievable: we were going to The Wave and all the incredible spots scattered across the protected area of Coyote Buttes North.
I’ve already been to Coyote Buttes South twice, but there are areas I couldn’t explore in the middle of summer because they were too remote. So, I had no trouble letting my buddies convince me to go back for a third time. Plus, given how hard it is to access, we had no trouble securing a permit online as long as we logged in at exactly 8 PM on the dot!
For The Subway, all three of us struck out. No big deal—we won at CBN and CBS!
Among the sites to visit, there are two that I’m particularly attached to because I know my chances of wanting to see them again are slim. The first is Angel Arch, one of the most legendary arches in the Southwest, due to its remoteness from any trace of civilization. To get there, the recommended hike is Upper Salt Creek, and you’re looking at a 50 km round-trip in an area with no water (in September) and populated by bears.
The second site is the Hopi Salt Trail, in Navajo land, which, after a very tough hike, lets you marvel at the turquoise-blue waters of the Little Colorado before it meets the Colorado River. The Hopi Salt Trail is, like The Wave, the holy grail for any Southwest enthusiast, and the windows of opportunity to see the water in that magical color are very short each year. For this, you have to monitor the Little Colorado’s gauges downstream from Cameron: if the level stays at its lowest for 10 consecutive days—meaning no rain—you can hope for turquoise water. The ideal period rarely exceeds 30 days a year, and it’s usually in June that all the stars align.
But unfortunately, one month before departure, while the flow rate at Cameron looked promising, several storms in September dashed our hopes of doing the Hopi Salt Trail, even at the end of the road trip.
We still had two consolation prizes, though:
After a last-minute cancellation, while keeping an eye out for available spots for The Subway, it turned out that three spots opened up exactly on the day we’d planned to go—so we rushed to grab them!! Regarding the 4x4 rental, the prices for full-size models dropped by several hundred dollars, and we ended up finding a Chevrolet Tahoe for less than $1000. A steal and a serious boost in comfort, so we could store all our gear and food without worry!

Enough talking—time for action!
While borders were closed, I started imagining what an ideal itinerary might look like—one that would string together all the Southwest must-sees in just two weeks, during the best time of year: September and October. When the U.S. announced in September 2021 that borders would reopen in the coming weeks, I regained hope and began scouting flight tickets for a departure in September 2022.
But here’s the thing: tackling solo hikes, each one tougher than the last, right in the heart of the Wilderness, could be a risky—even reckless—endeavor for a father of three. After a quick chat with some virtual friends who are just as passionate about the Southwest as I am, with good physical condition and nearly the same list of must-visit spots, Franck and his brother Sullivan were in! 🙂
In November, we snagged flight tickets from Nice to San Francisco for the modest sum of 400 €, and a few days later, I booked a Toyota Tacoma pickup for 840 € !
It’s not cheap for just 15 days, and a pickup isn’t exactly ideal for luggage, but the prices for full-size 4x4s have become totally outrageous! Due to border closures, rental companies had to offload a lot of these big 4x4s, which tourists love. Then, supply and demand did the rest !
Franck and I spent the winter and spring trying to cram the equivalent of three weeks of hikes into two. But even with physical limits, we had to stay reasonable! Three to four months before departure, we entered the lotteries for different must-see spots: The Subway, Coyote Buttes North (home to the famous Wave), and Coyote Buttes South (CBS).
The Wave is the holy grail for any Southwest enthusiast. Since 2015, we’ve tried our luck with the online and on-site lotteries about ten times, but the spots are unfortunately limited: just 20 per day. A glimmer of hope, though—since early 2022, that number has increased to 64 people allowed per day, with 48 spots awarded via the online lottery.
After all three of us tried our luck for The Wave, on June 1st at exactly 5 PM, I got an email that started with, "Congratulations! You were successful in the Coyote Buttes North (The Wave) September 2022 Permit Lottery at Coyote Buttes North (The Wave)...". At 5:01 PM, I called Franck, whose dream it’s been for over 20 years—ever since the first photos were published in a travel magazine! He didn’t believe me when I told him, and I had to forward the email for him to finally accept the unbelievable: we were going to The Wave and all the incredible spots scattered across the protected area of Coyote Buttes North.
I’ve already been to Coyote Buttes South twice, but there are areas I couldn’t explore in the middle of summer because they were too remote. So, I had no trouble letting my buddies convince me to go back for a third time. Plus, given how hard it is to access, we had no trouble securing a permit online as long as we logged in at exactly 8 PM on the dot!
For The Subway, all three of us struck out. No big deal—we won at CBN and CBS!
Among the sites to visit, there are two that I’m particularly attached to because I know my chances of wanting to see them again are slim. The first is Angel Arch, one of the most legendary arches in the Southwest, due to its remoteness from any trace of civilization. To get there, the recommended hike is Upper Salt Creek, and you’re looking at a 50 km round-trip in an area with no water (in September) and populated by bears.
The second site is the Hopi Salt Trail, in Navajo land, which, after a very tough hike, lets you marvel at the turquoise-blue waters of the Little Colorado before it meets the Colorado River. The Hopi Salt Trail is, like The Wave, the holy grail for any Southwest enthusiast, and the windows of opportunity to see the water in that magical color are very short each year. For this, you have to monitor the Little Colorado’s gauges downstream from Cameron: if the level stays at its lowest for 10 consecutive days—meaning no rain—you can hope for turquoise water. The ideal period rarely exceeds 30 days a year, and it’s usually in June that all the stars align.
But unfortunately, one month before departure, while the flow rate at Cameron looked promising, several storms in September dashed our hopes of doing the Hopi Salt Trail, even at the end of the road trip.
We still had two consolation prizes, though:
After a last-minute cancellation, while keeping an eye out for available spots for The Subway, it turned out that three spots opened up exactly on the day we’d planned to go—so we rushed to grab them!! Regarding the 4x4 rental, the prices for full-size models dropped by several hundred dollars, and we ended up finding a Chevrolet Tahoe for less than $1000. A steal and a serious boost in comfort, so we could store all our gear and food without worry!

46-Day Itinerary in Thailand
Hi everyone,
I’m a die-hard fan of India, but it’s time I discovered Thailand too to broaden my Asian horizons.
I’m heading there on January 19, 2025, for a 46-day trip (no visa needed as I’m French). I’ve pored over a few guidebooks and travel blogs. Based on what caught my interest, I’ve put together a rough itinerary and list of sights. But since I know absolutely nothing about Thailand, I’m kind of flying blind here.
Since I’m not exactly a spring chicken anymore, I’ve opted for a few bases where I’ll stay several days in the same place. That way, I won’t have to change locations and hotels every day or so, packing and unpacking my suitcase constantly. Instead, I plan to explore the surrounding area each day, within a maximum radius of 50 to 70 km.
So, first question: Is that kind of round-trip distance manageable in a day in Thailand?
In India, renting a car for a day—with a driver—currently costs around 35 to 40 € per day. Knowing that 1,300 to 1,500 THB would be my absolute max, and even then, only if I don’t rent a car every single day.
Which brings me to my second question: Am I being unrealistic?
Otherwise—third question—once I’m settled in the city I’ve chosen as my base, can I get around within that 50–70 km radius using public transport?
I’ve already booked all my hotels—with free cancellation—on booking.com at an average price of 950/1,000 THB per night. Does that put me in a good range for value for money? Or am I dreaming?
Here’s my plan:
BANGKOK (13 days, 14 nights): 1 week for exploring Bangkok – Kanchanaburi/Erawan National Park? – Ayutthaya/Lopburi? – Muang Boran – Samut – Songkram/Amphawa
Bangkok -> Chiang Mai by overnight train in first-class sleeper
CHIANG MAI (6 days/6 nights): Mae Hong Son – Hot springs – Chiang Dao – caves – Lamphun – other places to be decided on the spot based on what’s worth seeing and transport options
Chiang Mai -> Chiang Rai
CHIANG RAI (7 days/8 nights): Fang – Tha Ton – Chiang Saen – Doi Tung – Chiang Khong – Doi Ang Khang, Phu Chi Fah, etc.
Chiang Rai -> Phrae
PHRAE (4 days/5 nights): Lampang and surrounding areas, depending on what’s interesting to see
Phrae -> Loei
LOEI (4 days/5 nights): Phu Kradung – Chiang Khan and surrounding areas, depending on what’s worth seeing
Loei -> Buriram
PHIMAI (Nakhon Ratchasima/Khorat) (5 days/6 nights): Phimai – Prasat Muang Tam – Phanom Rung – Prasat Phanom Wan
Phimai -> Khorat (airport or train station) -> Bangkok (overnight in Bangkok)
Day 46: BANGKOK -> KOCHI
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice!

Roadtrip Black Hills - Yellowstone - Oregon English translation pending
Hello,
Je pense avoir finaliser mon parcours 2021 et j'aimerai votre avis dessus.
Actuellement, départ le 06/10/2021 avec un retour au 30/10/2021 (Atterrissage le 31). On a essayé de caler un départ le plus tôt possible en Octobre et on ne peut faire mieux que ces dates. J'ai déjà 4 nuits réservées à Yellowstone sur les dates prévues. Pour le reste, rien n'est figé. Voyageant avec des enfants en bas âge, certaines étapes ont étés réduites en terme de kilomètres.
J1 (06/10) : Arrivée à Minneapolis à 13H - Nuit à Mankato. L'idée est d'avoir les vols sans escales et nous avons donc fait le choix de ne pas passer par Denver. Mankato n'est pas très loin de Minneapolis et cela permet de gagner 1H de route sur le lendemain.
J2: Mankato > Sioux Falls > Oacoma - Nuit à Oacoma Journée de route tranquille, rien de passionant.
J3: Oacoma > Badland NP - Nuit au Cedar pass Lodge
J4: Custer SP / Mt Rushmore - Nuit à Keystone
J5: Deadwood > Aladdin > Devil's tower > Hulett - Nuit à Hulett
J6: Little Big Horn BF - Nuit à Sheridan
J7: Bighorn canyon NRA > Cody (Pas de rodéo à cette période donc juste le musée et peut être Old trail town) - Nuit sur Cody
J8: Cooke city > Tower Roosevelt / Mammoth hot springs - Nuit sur Mammoth hot springs cabin
J9: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - Nuit sur Mammoth hot springs cabin (Pas le choix)
J10: Grand Prismatic / Madison / Norris - Nuit sur Old faithfull Lodges
J11: Old faithfull (West thumb?) - Nuit sur Old faithfull Lodges
J12: (West thumb?), passage par Grand Teton NP - Nuit à Jackson
J13: Crater of the Moon NM - Nuit à Hailey
J14: (Shoshone Falls?) Bruneau Sand Dunes SP - Nuit à Meridian
J15: Malheur Butte / John Day NM - Nuit à Mitchell
J16: John Day NM / Smith Rock SP - Nuit à Madras
J17: Portland - Nuit à Portland
J18: Astoria - Nuit Astoria
J19: Lake Quinault / Ruby Beach - Nuit à Forks
J20: Hoh Rain forest / La Push / Second Beach / Rialto Beach (+Trail?) - Nuit à Forks
J21: Neah Bay / Cape Flattery / Shi Shi Beach - Nuit à Lake Crescent
J22: Sol Duc Falls / Bainbridge Island - Nuit à Bainbridge Island
J23: Ferry jusqu'à Seattle - Seattle - Nuit à Seattle
J24: Seattle - Nuit à Seattle
J25: Retour
Qu'en pensez vous?
La partie côté Oregon vous semble t elle pertinente? J'ai l'impression de survoler et j'hésitais à modifier la fin en prenant le ferry dès le J22 et en supprimant une nuit à Seattle pour la mettre en Oregon.
