Viloyati Mukhtori Kuhistoni Badakhshon General Tips | |
 | Police and Military Checkpoints by Trekki As I wrote before, there are quite a lot of checkpoints where military or police guys will look at your documents. Make sure, you have all of them (Visa, GBAO permit and the OVIR stamp in your passport). At the time of my travel (July 2006), checkpoints have been at: Khorog, just 2 km out of town: friendly, no hassle; Murghab, 16 km south: friendly, no hassle, Murghab, 2 km south: a bit nasty, but finally, we all could pass, Murghab, police...

Gettysburg Things To Do | |
 | Riding the rails by Travmad Really cool thing to do while in Gettsburg. For a couple of hours ride the old locomotive to Biglerville and get somemore history from the trains perspective. This is a guided tour and very relaxing after walking around during the morning. I have the cost as printed in a photo below. Have fun! [read more] |

The World’s Top 10 Ugliest Buildings
The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn’t mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of “The World’s Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments.” General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: “Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining.”
Gone But Never Forgotten
It’s now over two years since we lost one of our beloved members, Kinga_Freespirit.
Living without her physical presence has been hurtful for so many, but her spirit and love will always be in the thoughts of those who knew her. And to always continue and further her loving spirit, Krystyna, Kinga’s mother, has created a foundation in her honor.
Please see the forum posting for more information and discussion on the foundation and how you can become part of the team of “fun-loving” volunteers. Freespirit Foundation.
Thank you Kymbanm and Raytor for bringing this to our attention.
The Happiest of Life’s Stages
What is more thrilling and elating than the birth of a baby? The beginning and happiest stage of life has come to member Museeuw and his wife, Meitje, with the birth of their beautiful son , Xinhao. November 6th was the eventful day and we, at the VirtualTourist headquarters, wish them all a big CONGRATULATIONS!
The Saddest of Life’s Stages
Nothing affects one’s heart so sadly as the death of a loved one. And member pres_16 is having to endure this pain with the loss recently of her mother. Her friend, monina_c, tells us she “thanks the VT Community for helping her cope with her loss.”
Our deepest condolences, Priscilla.
We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

Community + Community = VTerrific!!
It’s a simple formula with an unbeatable outcome - members of our fabulous travel community + community service equals great deeds, great fun, and a great VT example to the world. Thusly, the " VT Pilipinas” Project Team was formed.
The impetus for the project was the annual VT Manila Christmas Party, which will still end with the regular fun and frivolity; but the beginning of the party is where the real holiday and VT Team spirit comes alive. It will start with the group “donning their gay apparel” (VT logoed shirts) to go dashing off to the Golden Acres home for the aged to do charity work.
This is exactly the type of Virtualtourist team interaction that we at headquarters are looking for and will work to support. These enthusiastic members took our offer to heart and ran with it. It’s the “killa in Manila”…in every great sense of the words...and we love it!
If you too are interested in the VT Team concept, we may be able to help you! Check out the VT Team's page for more info.
