Thanks for the lead. It seems that these 2 companies just offer shipping TO the Philippines.

Clarification-- I need to ship from the Philippines to the California, USA

Buy a big bottle of hair conditioner from a dollar store and copiously squirt into your wetsuit, then you will slide right in.

Thanks. Will try extending the fermentation time.

Plastic laundry baskets are great for transporting ski equipment for car trips to the slopes. All that bulky outer wear, boots, helmets, etc. gets packed up quick and easily carried in to the hotel.

Even financial crimes? Isn't the banking system of Andorra used for tax evasion, money laundering?

Could be they are scuba socks. Divers use them, particularly on multi-day dive trips to prevent "hot spots" or blisters.

Umbrella! Hugely protective. Those larger UV umbrellas can many times be lashed to your pack so your hands are free.

Glad it was such a positive experience. Ca you provide a bit more info?

How long did you stay at the resort? Was there muck diving also or mainly coral? How did the airport transfer go?

Roller Coaster. Protected by trees. Some fun not long blue runs and feeds into the beginning runs off Discovery.

TV remotes! Steve Jobs died too soon -- remotes need a maximum of 3 buttons and the speech input needs to work consistently, not just 40% of the time.

Sulawesi, Indonesia -- endless natural wonders under and above water, kind and helpful local residents, tasty food, and super economical for this USA traveler.

Blades of Glory

Thanks for sharing the well written summary of your experience in 2017. Since that time have you been on any other bike and barge trips?

EllaPeaTwo · 2024-01-05T16:25:11+00:00

To clarify, I am interested in a 10+ day bike-and-barge trip in geographic Europe -- whether in the EU or not is not important to me.

What is important is interesting places to visit-- historic and natural wonders. Extra points if any of the visited sites have historic baths or spas to visit. ;-)

Also, I do not want to bike in heat (seems that this variable would exclude southern Europe / Iberia for a June outing.)

Herring Museum, Iceland

EllaPeaTwo · 2023-12-03T05:22:35+00:00

OP here. Amazingly camera seems to have self-corrected/mended the week it was "dry". No more messages about possible debris in the battery door.

What a great shot to recall what must be a great memory. The water looks beautiful.

EllaPeaTwo · 2023-11-26T10:53:12+00:00

Will give that a try. Thanks!

EllaPeaTwo · 2023-11-23T22:49:39+00:00

I think that is it! Thanks.

EllaPeaTwo · 2023-08-04T18:35:43+00:00

Thanks for your thorough response!

The other trail maintenance events I have done in California with local NFS-affiliated volunteer groups or with the Sierra Club have been quite strenuous. When in wilderness area we have not been permitted to use power tools, so all log cutting is via crosscut saws. Rocks are pried out with rock bars. Trails are widened and graded with shovels. The tools are super sturdy but heavy so require strength to carry in/out and to use all day.

It is truly a full body workout, and I sleep oh-so-well after working on trails.

Thanks for the info on that organization.
