Jul 7th 2010 7:03PM Super helpful post, Scott. I am in the market for a netbook, and it's nice to have all the info I need to make a decision in one place.
Only in Alaska: Flight-seeing Mt. McKinley {Gadling}
Jun 28th 2010 3:15AM Hi all,
Thanks for you comments. I actually did mean the tallest mountain in the world, rather than the highest. If you click my link in the first sentence, you'll be directed to the post I wrote about the difference between the "highest" and the "tallest" mountains in the world.
Cheers,
Catherine
Only in Alaska: The tallest mountain in the world {Gadling}
Jun 24th 2010 8:15PM Sorry, Scott, but the title "The Tallest Mountain in the World Above Sea Level" was just too clunky. I stand by my assertion that Denali is the tallest because you can only climb to nearly 14,000 feet on Mauna Kea. It's nothing personal towards Mauna Kea!
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Far West in the Far East: On learning Chinese characters {Gadling}
Dec 24th 2009 10:00PM Haha, that is most definitely not my writing - it belongs to whoever teaches the class before mine. I'm always amazed by it's tidiness, and one day I just couldn't resist taking a photo. What's fun is looking at this photo several weeks after I took it and realizing that I understand a lot of what's written!
Thanks for the comment.
Five reasons why life on the road can really suck {Gadling}
Dec 18th 2009 10:38PM Thanks for the comments, all.
Soultravelers3, I can't help but notice the "we" in your comment, and I have a feeling that that "we" can make all the difference when dealing with travel fatigue. Part of my problem is that everyone who is close to me is across the Pacific.
But again, I want to stress my gratefulness for all of my experiences and say that despite the occasional bouts of homesickness and loneliness, I am indeed happiest living out of my backpack. It's just not always the easiest lifestyle.
Forty-two hours on a train in China {Gadling}
Nov 12th 2009 8:15PM Bill,
Chinese trains are much better than Indian trains - I could never do 42 hours on a second-class Indian train! In China, at the very least, there are windows. And no folks coming through offering chai, bananas, whatever (which actually would have been nice at times).
Lauren, I agree, which is one reason why I chose the train over the plane.
