great photos on nepal prints. psst, want a tip? so that your loyal readers don’t have to press the back button to go back to your site, you may want to add this tag: target=”_blank” after your hyperlink. Ex. Folie a Deux. That way, your page remains open while they surf other links

Do i have to push you down a flight of stairs to steal your job or something? I love your job! I love travel, i love shopping, i love building budgets and spreadsheets, i’m a master at Excel and Access, i love SPSS and research, can i be your assistant? Tell me, how do I get a job similar to yours? What are the requirements and how do I find one?

@Nate: Thanks Nate! Glad you enjoyed the photos, looking forward to taking more

@Angela: Thanks for the tip! I’ve seen some pictures of Petra at night…I may have to bring a tripod and go wild. Really like your blog, those food pictures are making me hungry.

@John: You can count on it!

@Adrian: Yep, used the point-and-shoot in Bucharest, but I’m thinking about bringing my larger camera on this trip. Glad we’re both Indiana Jones’ geeks. Plans for February 2010, heh? Can’t wait to read about them!

This is so awesome, I’m really happy for you! Had no idea about the photo website. Do you use that small compact camera you had in Bucharest?

Who needs freelancing, when you can do the travel that you do with such a 9 to 5 alternative, right?

Hope an Indiana Jones geek such as myself will get a chance to see Petra at some point in life! Until then, I have some exciting plans as well for February 2010.

I went to Petra a few years ago in early June. It was a fantastic time to be there because most people can’t take the heat. We were the only ones on foot walking in which was amazing because once the camels and little carts pass you carrying other tourists you are in the sique alone. At one point all I could hear was my shutter going off, then I put my camera away for a bit and just took it all in. It almost felt like my camera was disrupting the silence which was such a part of the beauty.

Oh, here’s a tip. If you are there for more than one day, take the lesser traveled route in to the city of Petra on the second day. It follows a barren canal where water sometimes rushes in during flash floods. It’s a long walk through oleanders and interesting little caves and shrines of sorts. And if you can see Petra at night, it is so worth it.

Have a great trip!
