A1: I was refused admittance to Bahrain. I never found out why for sure, but I suspect it was because I listed "Editor" as my occupation and they thought 'dangerous journalist with a blog'. I had to fly on to Qatar and meet up with my tour group 2 days later. #GenXTravel

#GenXtravel A1: I once got refused entry to a museum in Israel because I was British.
That it was a museum about how the Israelis got independence from the British may be irony ... or sheer bloodymindedness!

A1: I wasn't allowed to board a flight from Dubai to Buenos Aires because I didn't have a visa. When I left the U.S. 2 months before, none was needed. Since then, it was a new year, policies had changed, and I didn't realize. So, I had an unexpected extended UAE stay. #GenXTravel
