The food aspect alone is incredible, not to mention all the cultural, historical, architectural and natural wonders - and the potential for meaningful social interaction! Enjoy my friend - I will try and follow the thread as much as possible. As someone who has "lost" more than a few years to the Wanderlust myself, the only "advice" I would give I'm sure you would already know, but I give it anyway: 1) Watch your back, 2) listen to your gut instincts, 3) go with the flow (but make sure it's Your flow and not a false fork in the road, or worse, your new "friend's Plan ), and 4) watch your back! I dont't know if you're familiar with Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits fame), but you should be! One of my fav Knopfler tunes: Wanderlust Big black cloud On a yellow plain Sure enough it Looks like rain Packin' up all our Faith and trust Me and the wanderlust Open window Empty bed and chair Who's that callin' Ain't nobody there I look behind me And I see there's just Me and the wanderlust Dead of night I had a dream Sky was bright yes and the Fields were green I was down the road In a cloud of dust Me and the wanderlust And I'm on the edge Of an endless fall Sure enough He's come to call Got to go now Get on that bus Me and the wanderlust Cheers, J Yo Kris, sounds like a great trip.

I dont’t know if you’re familiar with Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits fame), but you should be! One of my fav Knopfler tunes:

Wanderlust
Big black cloud
On a yellow plain
Sure enough it
Looks like rain
Packin’ up all our
Faith and trust
Me and the wanderlust

Open window
Empty bed and chair
Who’s that callin’
Ain’t nobody there
I look behind me
And I see there’s just
Me and the wanderlust

Dead of night
I had a dream
Sky was bright yes and the
Fields were green
I was down the road
In a cloud of dust
Me and the wanderlust

And I’m on the edge
Of an endless fall
Sure enough
He’s come to call
Got to go now
Get on that bus
Me and the wanderlust

Cheers,
J
