Is there a way to get to the top of Mount Everest without hiking too far? Is Everest really hard because of the technical skills required, or because just hiking is incredibly hard in that high an elevation? |

How do Hostels work in Europe? One thing I would add about chains: sometimes the hostel in City A can book you into a hostel from the same chain in City B, even though that hostel shows as booked up on the web reservation systems. I did this for Wombats in particular, and some other one that I don't remember. Really saved me. |

Avoiding the traveller's 'fanny pack' / money-belt The other historical factor here is that there used to be paper airline tickets, which you could not lose and were worth hundreds of dollars. It was often suggested that you carry them on you at all times, and moneybelts seem to be sized for them rather than currency. |

Which website to use when choosing local US flights? Some of them do tweak it a bit to try to cover the airlines that don't use the central reservation systems. For instance, Kayak used to load the Southwest timetable into their system so they could show that the flights existed, but they didn't have pricing or availability. |

How far in advance to get travel vaccinations? @Kris, thanks for the additional detail. I wasn't aware the first Hep A shot gave such long protection since I missed my second shot and the doctor advised me that I needed to start over... clearly no urgency on that one! |

What is the business model of commercial free walking tours? I assume Sandeman's also must get kickbacks from their mid-tour coffee stop and from ending up the tour at a pub. |
