used but like new Belguim LP Guide for sale

I bought a Lonely Planet guide on Belgium & Luxembourg for a trip this summer & never made it there.

So technically it is used but I never wrote in it so it's in excellent condition & I'd like to sell it.

$15 + $3 shipping, USA addresses only; payment via PayPal only.

Email me at: travelgirlfl@yahoo.com if you are interested. Happen to send a pic of it to see the condition if you'd like.

Happy travels! :)

3 bikes for sale in hanoi

3 Hondas for sale in Hanoi
Hi there, we've just ridden from Saigon to Hanoi and are now looking to sell our bikes
1 Honda dream, 1 Honda wave and 1 Honda super dream.
They are genuine Japanese Hondas and not the cheap, Chinese replicas.
The 2 dreams are actually known as Honda Cxx series Cub and Super Cubs in Japan, however in Vietnam they are re-fared with new plastics and are sold under the name of dream, just to avoid confusion. So you get the great, reliable engine and chassis from the cub but with a new look about it. These 2 models of bike are the 2 most popular models of honda in Vietnam and for good reason.
We have all the registration papers for the bikes which to the authorities shows ownership and legal responsibilty, even if the bike isn't in your name. So the cards will be sold to you with the bike making you the new legal owner. We had no problems with the pol... more »

I night stay in Carcosa Seri Negara, Kuala Lumpur

Hi, have anyone planning to visit Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the coming months?

If you do, I have a certificate for let go, which entitles one (1) night stay in Junior Suite including breakfast for two (2) person. The usual rate is Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 1100++, while i going to let go for RM800. I only have one certificate and the reason for let going is because the certificate's expiry date is 25th December 2009 and i have no time for it due to the busy schedule for year end.

For your infomation, Carcosa Seri Negara is a luxury hotel on two adjacent hills inside the Lake Gardens park in Kuala Lumpur. It is owned by the Malaysian Government. The hotel includes two colonial mansions, one named Carcosa, the other Seri Negara.

Flightseeing over Mt Cook in South Island

I have 2 tickets for a 90 min flightseeing trip over Mt Cook and the Glaciers that is good until Dec. 31 2009. I bought these for my son when he visited recently but he didn't get a chance to use them. The tickets sell for $280 apiece and I will sell them for $180 apiece. I have been on the trip and it is wonderful. I lived on the South Island for a year and it was our "last hurrah" to do this trip, which was marvelous. You can leave out of either Lake Tekapo or Franz Josef and the only trick is to get a clear day-you can call a day or so in advance to book the seat.Please reply if you are interested in this and I can supply any other desired details.

Minsk for sale - Hanoi 25th November to 1st December

Hi All,

I will be in Hanoi from the 25th of November to the 1st of December, and I am going to be selling the Minsk I bought from Ho Chi Minh city.

I purchased the bike off a guy named Kevin from the Travelfish forums, for a price of 550USD. I did overpay a bit, but I did so knowing I'm buying a really good condition bike, and it hasn't let me down so far.

It will be coming with two helmets (no visor) and packing straps.

I am aware I will be making a big loss when I sell this bike, but sell I must. Please let me know your best offer.

My Vietnamese mobile number is +84 908 377 301. My email is sychris.lee@gmail.com

For Sale - Nissan Terrano '94 4x4 Sleeper

Available mid-December 2009 in Santiago, Chile
Our full ad with photos is at: http://nissanterrano.wordpress.com/

We have come to the end of our South American travels so our fully kitted out 4x4 Sleeper is available on the market. We've driven it from the sea to the snow, from the desert to the forest, and up above 5000m. We'd love to sell it as a ready-made travel-mobile, as we put a bit of time and money into buying all the bits we needed for the road.

Consider:

  • Why buy a car? Debating this question is far too big for this ad, but I think it comes down to travelling style. You can get anywhere in South America on a bus or tour, but we like the independence to go where ever we want, whenever we want and look after ourselves. You end up spending more on gas, but save on not having to take overpriced tours of variable quality
  • Chilean registered – almost all other South ...

Long-distance bicycle and stuff (in Thailand) €500

Hey!

Just finished a bike tour through Europe. Took a flight from Istanbul to Bangkok with the intention to bike through Thailand as well. Changed my mind, gonna go by train instead.

But I know there must be others out there who are in need of a fully pimped out long distance bike in BKK.

* The bike is a Marin Muirwood. 26'' wheels and 20.5'' frame size.
* Schwalbe Marathon XR tyres.
* Surly Nice Racks, front and back
* Ortlieb waterproof bags, pairs of front and back.

One front bag is missing a plastic part that keeps it tight to the rack. It fell off somewhere in Hungary and I've been using it without the plastic part without any problem. Can probably easily be replaced by a regular screw or something, just didn't bother =)

*Along with the bike, and parts I'm also throwing in my Optimus Nova multi-fuel burner along with a pot and pan. Check it http://www.ap... more »
