How I Planned & Packed For A $96 Budget Transcontinental Round Trip Flight And What I Learned

I hunt plane ticket deals like it’s my job and do my best to take advantage of deals when I find them, as often as possible.  A few months ago a $121* round trip ticket from Philadelphia (PHL) to San Diego (SAN) came across my screen and I hopped on it.

Forgotten, Lost & Broken

The more I travel, the lighter my bag gets and the days of what if and maybe I’ll need are basically gone.  Now I can fit everything I need into a 50L Marmot Duffel for trips around a week, and have never had an issue using it as a carry-on. Longer trips or ones where I won’t have access to doing laundry I’ll use a Deuter 65L Travel Backpack that can easily be checked.

The Unseen Side Of Photography And Making Memories

This is not an artistic photo with some deep meaning, this is the last photo I shot in a sequence before the water that’s hitting my camera wiped me on my ass and soaked me. None of my camera gear or belongings were ruined, just some bloody knees and shins, cut the webbing between my thumb and forefinger and a bruised ego.

Bangkok International Airport, There’s Two Of Them

I got to the hotel in Bangkok just after 10pm local time, after spending nearly 27 hours flying to Thailand and not accounting for the loss of day in travel flying west. In less than than 18 hours I’d be leaving Bangkok, heading to Siem Reap, Cambodia to tour Angkor Wat and some of the other temples in and around the city.
