comment Overlanding in Egypt without a carnet de passage?
About the documents: yep, I think that was enough. Should be an international driving license though... I'd ask my friend for the specifics, but he's travelling right now... until the middle of january somewhere ;-)

comment Finding Twin rooms
@Kate: a twin room is like a double room, but with 2 separate single beds, instead of one double one.

comment Unplanned backpacking across several European countries
Wow, 7000$ really is a lot for backpacking! I would consider travelling longer, or lowering the budget ;-) ... Btw, you should specify where you're from, as that is quite important to be able to answer the visum part.

comment How can I fly with a guitar?
It's not much different than flying a broom... just put it between your legs, and off you are. No, seriously, I think you better change the title to something like "How can I bring my guitar on a plane?", otherwise there's some ambiguity here ;-)

... so "leaving the country" is just no option.

comment What happens when a foreigner gets a traffic fine in the United States?
I've heard that the issuing officer will demand payment on site or will confiscate the drivers license. That sounds a little too extreme to be true - I don't see what's so extreme here. This is definitely also the case in France (where I've actually been stopped by the police before), and I think also in Belgium (of which I am a resident, so no hands-on experience here as a tourist). And concerning the enforcement: they just won't give you your drivers license back before you payed (and they will escort you to an ATM if you don't have the money with you)...

comment What's the name for the “blocking” stickers used on car headlights?
@Andra: Point taken, and I thank you for making me aware. I was just pointing out that it is something which isn't obvious and clear when driving your car to the UK.
