Backpacking since Christmas Day, 1989. Hitchhiking since mid 2010.

Currently home working in a backpacker hostel while I pay off the credit card from the last trip and save for the next one.

comment Camping near a beach, not far from Tokyo
All the beach areas vaguely near Tokyo that I have seen are extremely built up. Including freeways over the water itself. I would be very interested to know if there are campgrounds though.

comment Transporting a big shipment of computer equipment to the Caribbean
CRTs are heavy and heavy stuff is expensive to ship. Yet somehow the majority of dead CRTs in the west somehow end up shipped to developing nations where they become toxic junk. I have no idea how the economics of that works out.

+1 for "by volume". Years ago I looked at bringing a car I bought in the US back to Australia and the amount of space it took up in the container was the major factor.

You definitely won't be able to check it in. Shipping it is your only option. There are no doubt many shipping options including using the same airline you're flying with. But our superiors have deemed anything related to shipping as not related to travel even when you're trying to travel with stuff \-:

@Rory: When you say "it lists loads of campsites" should we interpret this as meaning it doesn't attempty to list all campsites?

comment Is it possible to visit Abkhazia by land from Georgia?
VMAtm: I decided to ask as separate questions because it seems Abkhazia is a lot more visitable than South Ossetia and also since they are separately run they are bound to have different paperwork. But I'm finding lots of fuzzy, conflicting, and changing information so I thought asking the experts here might get more definitive answers.
