... kalustettuja). Löydettiin oma kämppä lopulta AirBnB:n kautta ( www.airbnb.com ) hirveällä munkilla. Tällä kertaa kun ei enää voinut tyytyä siihen kolmiseinäiseen dollarin maksavaan bambumajaan joka on aikaisemmilta reissuilta tullut tutuksi.
Kämpän varmistuttua piti vielä sitten hoitaa lennot jotka otettiin suoraan American Airlinesilta. Erillisviisumia ei tarvittu mutta maksullinen ja sähköinen ESTA kaavake piti kyllä täyttää (käytännössä anotaan lupa ...
