Americano Abroad: Albanian Riviera: Travel vs Tourism
http://americanoabroad.blogspot.com/2015/07/albanian-riviera-travel-vs-tourism.html
Traveling and working outside the US of A. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Albanian Riviera: Travel vs Tourism. To many Europeans, Albania. Is the poor, corrupt, crime-ridden, armpit of the Balkans. I’m sure some people, like Donald Trump—if he could locate it on a map—might even label Albania as a land of rapists. After a treacherous drive. Here's the seemingly basic question: Is Albania a place I would universally recommend? For travelers, YES. For tourists, NO. English menus, and a souvenir zone. So, I̵...

http://meghandean.blogspot.com/2010/04/ksamil-travel-tips.html
In Search of the Golden Fleece. Sunday, April 11, 2010. From May to September the weather is usually good enough for swimming. I would generally try to avoid August, the busiest time. Step 1-Get to Saranda. Step 2- From the main bus station in Saranda walk towards the Sea. The Ksamil bus stop is directly across from the synagogue ruins. Before you get to Ksamil:.

Check 'em out at: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/cjallo9. Monday, May 31, 2010. Goodbyes, Hellos, and a Pagan Festival. Chris and I headed up to Tiranё again, for a farewell dinner with our friend Patricia. This month the G11ers are dropping like flies, each week it seems 2 or 3 complete their service, boarding flights back to America. Some weeks back I went to Delvine to see Monica off, and Alexi left shortly after. It’s very surreal. Beautiful landscapes of Shqiperia, I will miss it. I slipped on my rainc...

crooked corner: albania
http://crookedcorner.blogspot.com/2008/09/albania.html
Monday, 22 September 2008. Unfortunately this is what I will remember Albania for the most. Two weeks. Four days in transit on three different trains to get there. 300 euros each. Down the coast. Through the mountains. Hitchhiking. Buses. Walking. Taxis. Boat. Arse end of. 8217;s dirt tracks. Aggressive development. Resort towns popping up with horrid speed. No planning. The sea is crystal and beautiful. Coastline chaotic, packed, uninviting. Freelance camping the go! Did you come to. The mountains are s...

In Search of the Golden Fleece...: Spring has Sprung?
http://meghandean.blogspot.com/2009/02/spring-has-sprung.html
In Search of the Golden Fleece. Sunday, February 15, 2009. It’s the beginning of February and it looks like the weather is finally starting to get better. I’m so glad I’m reasonably far south and I’m not looking at a Chicago marathon winter. Chicago marathon winters are ok in Chicago…but with my heating situation as it is (that is to say non-existent) not fun here. My counterpart told me this would not work, as the cultural center is private and you must pay to use it. I figured that my clout as an A...
