I am excited to follow along! I will be in Oman and (hopefully) Iran at similar times to you, so it will be interesting to see how our trips compare :)

The locals are still playing chess. We were told they are so dedicated that even when they had some -20 degree days last winter they were still out there playing!

Today we arrived in Sarajevo. Can't wait to get out and look around tomorrow. There are lots of new buildings, but have a look at the bullet holes on one of the old ones we passed. (Doing this on my phone - hoping it works)

Hahaha...I have one very big trip report going on, but you will have to go to my blog (see link in my signature below) It's not solely directed at frequent flyers, so not so many details of places we stayed or flights, but those are mentioned too. The "trip report" style posts are the Travel...

I rarely use the IFE - just the map. Usually I am quite happy reading my book. Sometimes I will watch a movie, but I have quite a small head, and any of the over-the-head type headphones are huge on me so I have to physically hold them up on my ears or they slip down. Normally too hard, and I...

Hi Rooflyer Have a look at this link - IR-IRAN Electronic Visa (Iran eVisa) Application - Ministry of Foreign Affairs - this is what I was looking at that seems to tell me that I (Aust passport) can now get an e-visa in advance. There are also forms here to fill in before you arrive for VOA. I...

We will be in Mostar in a week or two, so I will let you know what I think.

I would say so! It's only about 50km from Dubrovnik, but I'm not too sure how the border crossing works (thinking about how long it might take!). My advice would be to take a bus rather than a tour if you are concerned about the budget. The buses run three or four times a day. I actually took a...

There will definitely be snow! We were in Austria at the end of June, and there were still patches of snow up in the mountains. I suggest you check the "seasons" for wherever you would like to go, as they shut down the lifts and many of the facilities in between the summer and winter seasons. I...

Oh, they do have a swimming beach! I commented to my hubby that I couldn't see one! It's very different to Budva which is all about it's beaches.

Did a day trip to Kotor in Montenegro yesterday - absolutely stunning! Only 1300+ steps to get up high enough to take this photo :-)

I am heading to Iran in the next couple of months and am resigned to life being difficult if I was to go to the US any time soon. FYI for anyone going there soon, it is not possible to apply for the VOA online before you get there. I am hoping that will speed up the process. I am assuming it...

Thank you! I still can't quite believe that someone other than my mother reads it :-)

I have been travelling around Europe for almost five months now and I still haven't found a great solution! Because we are travelling for such a long time, using our home plans was not an option (especially since hubby's is paid for by his work) So before left home I bought an unlocked portable...

I second this! The food here is the first thing I think of when we visit KL If you are looking for a nice bar, head to the top floor of Traders Hotel and watch the sunset with a great view of the Petronas Towers.

And my kids too! :-)

Thank you! The things I do to keep my mother off of Facebook :-)

Today I am in Budva, Montenegro. This is the view over the Old Town across the bay and to the mountains beyond.

Well, not too small lol. Will resize next time :-)

I haven't been on AFF much lately (I'm out of the country and haven't been on a plane in months) but this thread I can contribute to! My "office" this week has been Ohrid in Macedonia. Here are some photos of the lake it sits on. (First time trying to upload photos. Was a bit of a chore...
