Planning and Logistics
Entry 17 of 17 | show all | print this entry |
Because of the length and complexity of this trip (2 months, 21 hotels, 13 airline flights, 2 train trips, and 10+ boat trips, not to mention travels by car), we worked with a tour agent to set everything up ... and pay for most of it ... ahead of time. We worked through IExplore.com, and would heartily recommend them to anyone; they were wonderful! Without exception, the logistics worked flawlessly; the accommodations were clean, comfortable, and hospitable; and the tour guides knowledgeable and helpful. Some of the guides were outstanding resources, and I've mentioned those individually in my blog entries.
With the exception of some beach resorts where we chose to spend free time and made our own arrangements, we had a personal, local tour guide and driver at each destination. We did not participate in group tours, but rather got private tours of various sites, mixed liberally with free time to explore on our own. The mix worked well for us, but IExplore will customize any trip according to the client's preferences.
If anyone has any questions about arrangements, costs, accommodations, sights to see, or things to do, We'll be happy to share with you our thoughts and impressions. Please just comment on this blog (I'll receive an email notice) or email me directly.
Thanks for your patience. It's been nearly 3 months since we returned from this trip, and I apologize for taking so long to get the blog up to date. Still, at least you'll have an opportunity to read about and look through some pictures of our adventures. Thanks again for joining us!!

Great job on the blog, JS. I even learned how to navigate the TravelPod site!
