Nice list, Dave! Love the Casablanca one!
Well, get yourself over here then. Oktoberfest starts in like 3 weeks :)

I did the overlanding thing in East Africa and have plenty of opinions on tour companies if you ever want some assistance! I’ve also written a few blogs on my experience under the African categories on my blog. And don’t forget whitewater rafting in the Nile, too (Jinja, Uganda). So many of your items are my goals as well. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks – I just wrote whatever popped into my head. You gotta start by writing these things down if you want actually do them one day!

Very cool. I talked to tons of people in South Africa about their overland trips. I decided to save a really big one for a future adventure, but did enjoy my 5 days in Kruger Park and week in Botswana, both through Livingstone Trails.

A good friend recently bought me a great map/guide for Munich that came with special code to access an online database at http://www.alacartemaps.com, ideal for creating your own Oktoberfest itinerary
You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre saying. I get where youre coming from. But you just seem to have forgotten that there are people out there who can see this issue for what it really is and may not agree with you. You seem to alienate a whole bunch of people who might have been fans of your blog.
