Celebrate national train day with free companion tickets (on May 10th) from Amtrak {Gadling}
Apr 4th 2008 11:04PM I'm curious to know why you think Amtrak is "ailing." Ridership has increased every year for the past 7 and I've already not gotten a ticket because they've been sold out. Y'all even posted on it. http://www.gadling.com/2006/12/04/more-people-traveling-with-amtrak
Greenbridge, Green in Chapel Hill {Luxist}
Jul 9th 2007 3:12PM Interestingly enough it would have been bigger except the funeral home next door wouldn't sell, and one of the few Ethiopian restaurants in the area was closed so it could be built.
Quiz: How Well-Traveled Are You? {Gadling}
Jan 23rd 2007 12:56PM Well I didn't score very well. However, I'm going to be defensive about it. I didn't score well because many of the places I've been to aren't on the list. Anybody who tries to avoid touristy destinations won't do so hot either. Unless you count layovers.

Letting the Khat Out of the Bag {Gadling}
Oct 26th 2006 5:25PM I like the Qat spelling which is certainly more helpful in Scrabble. I've been to Djibouti, it's more than just the Qat gives this article gives it credit for.
Dead Sea Float {Gadling}
Mar 27th 2006 1:05PM I haven't floated in the dead sea, but Lake Asal in Djibouti which I have been too actually has a higher saline content than the dead sea. It's truely bizarre because you're legs start to not want to stay on the bottom as you walk into deeper water. It makes your skin crawl after a bit though.
Africa Travel: Djibouti {Gadling}
Feb 13th 2006 9:55AM I've been there. It is a for lack of a better word interesting. I wrote a bit about my experience here. http://www.char1es.net/archives/2005/11/there_and_back.html
Another Important destination there is Lake Asal, the most saline body of water in the world. There is indeed some great diving although local's don't like to have their picture taken, so that can make photography a little awkward. I ended up leaving my camera in my room except when I was traveling outside of the Djibouti town.
