A4 Albania's roads in 2003 were. a challenge. We had a guide and driver with a sturdy car; just as well. They asked if we were expecting roads as bad as this. @HMatthews' reply (full Lady Bracknell mode): "I was expecting. a road." @travelatwill #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill A4: Not giving ourselves enough down time. When you're only away a week or two you can go pretty hard. but when you're travelling for months, you need to build in down time! #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill A4 : being arrested by the cops at Salta airport (Argentina) because they thought I was carrying coca leaves. Whereas I wasn't. And I don't speak Spanish. No photo though! #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill A4. I had lactose intolerance as a kid but bloody loved milk. Lots of toilet stops is what I’m saying. And one infamous coach trip that my family will never let me forget. #TRLT

A4: some unique challenges that we've had on long journeys?
Flight cancellations or delays, and lost luggage, which have resulted in rearranging our travel plans.
Vehicle issues, like blowing a tire on our motorcycle, and requiring time for repairs.

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @TravelAtWill #TRLT a4. Fortunately I've had pretty good luck. On a trip back from Mexico this spring there were numerous flight delays and I ended up sleeping in the LA airport. Got in at 10pm, next flight was 9am. Only few hotels avail and uber line was over an hour long. Hotel pricing was $

#trlt or, you, know, A4 even. :D
Weather, that was my main irk on that hike. It rains in the UK, even in the middle of summer. And those trails go through some very bleak and empty landscapes.

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @TravelAtWill A4) In Tokyo I had a tour guide who was a fast walker which with my mobility issues was a challenge luckily I did a quick study of the other people in my group so I could follow them when I needed to get back on the bus. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill A4. At khardungla, people ain't allowed to wait for more than 20' as O2 level is less at that height. But owing to land slide & bad weather, my group among others got stuck there. My story: How I spent stuck at Khardung La & lived to tell the tale - https://t.co/54SdmyXjhQ

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill A4 In Maldives, my computer didn't update the time zone properly and I was "off" the whole trip. Didn't figure it out until I missed the flight back. Oops. #TRLT @TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill @HHLifestyleTrav

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @TravelAtWill A4: Finding a lounge that will accommodate me when I'm too early by their standards. Or a full lounge like in Doha on that long trip. Too many people using Lounges these days #TRLT

A4: I missed my connecting flight from Vilnius, Lithuania, to Dhaka, Bangladesh, in Kiev, Ukraine. I had to stay 2 days in Kiev until the next flight, which I loved. Impromptu visit that was a welcome bonus in 2013. #TRLT
