@Wandelgek @TravelGigolo Once the sandstorms hit...boom. We also had a sandstorm hit us at our campsite in the Kgalagadi (Twee Rivieren) but we saw it coming and started battening down the hatches, so to speak. However, we neglected to take pics/video.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel #trlt a5 take advantage of mornings and evenings. The sun is up early, get out there at 5 or 6am before the heat builds up, then rest during the day and head back out in the evening when the sun has set. I hit the trails around us before the sun is up - where good reflectors!

replying to @DoroLef @DoroLef @iamvagabond We stayed overnight, it was late afternoon and we were encrusted with dust. We walked up the hotel stairs in full gear, since I was worried about getting stuck in the elevator. It took hours to get us and our things clean. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A4. You really get an appreciation for how vulnerable you are in a thunderstorm when you are caught out in the remote backcountry in a place like @CanyonlandsNPS! #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @WildDogSafaris aha! I do like deserts indeed; but you just have to be prepared as its a bit daunting when you look 360 degrees and it all looks the same. Now which way did I come from? #TRLT But the camels know ;)

replying to @GoGreenGatsby @GoGreenGatsby And so much of the rain comes on the weekends. I feel bad for the folks who work all week and then have their days off plans ruined. #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @T_W_O @Travel_boomer @AngelaMDiLoreto @iamvagabond To flee Venzuela after the landslides I had to travel to the airport by bus and taxi along a 6 or 8 lane highway that was now a lake of filthy water, so deep the back of the cab started filling up. Terrifying #trlt

replying to @CourseCharted
@CourseCharted @TheTravelCamel it was most likely going to be a weather delay. those summer storms roll through and everything shuts down for an hour.
we were stuck on the Tarmack once due to air force one. That was a cool delay. #TRLT

A4. I never thought Korea was so cold in the winter but when my skin froze the second air touched me I realized why ondol (hot floor) is such a perfect invention. It’s very hard to remove yourself from ondol and go outside again though 🤓 #TRLT

replying to @pip_says
@pip_says @CaitlinKellyNYC @ActivatedAdven1 True, for #socialmedia in general. But I feel the overall heightened awareness and global understanding of the #TRLT community makes this a somewhat safer place to discuss relative #climatescience and it’s impact on #travel and our world.

A2 Last fall I was in NYC for a cruise when the Nor'easter blew through & the cruise was delayed for 12 hours. I spent the afternoon in Rockefeller Center (tho it wasn't like this) #TRLT

replying to @loyaltytravels @loyaltytravels @TheTravelCamel @WildDogSafaris Where is this desert? When is the best time to go? #TRLT

A5. The Namib desert is certainly an extreme weather space but well worth the visit, even if evening winds are hot and blustery, and days get past the 40C mark (upwards of 110F). Still highly recommended.

replying to @Travel_boomer @Travel_boomer @NewYorkHabitat @TheTravelCamel @iamvagabond I believe that the First Nations translation is "atrocious weather." :) That Ottawa is merely the seventh coldest national capital in the world gives some comfort: https://t.co/TZY5d2Fmdu #TRLT

#TRLT Sleeping in a tent in Sahara was probably the most extreme experience I’ve ever had and made me realize the challenges of hot weather. As a Finn I’m used to the cold extremes.

replying to @Touchse @Touchse A5 'm no fan of extreme heat but desert places like @WhiteSands_NPS and @DeathValleyNPS are worth visiting anyway. Just bring lots of water and don't get lost. #travel #TRLT

replying to @Touchse @Touchse @FunInFairfax A5: Anywhere! I am still eager to visit a desert (Gobi, Sahara, U.S.) and have been to the Arctic in December. Given climate change, I'd say go anywhere you can still be safe #trlt
