What an amazing TR!! Enjoyed Part 1 as well.
Thank you for posting!

Great report, thank you for all of the effort you put into this. Quite a journey.

You have inspired me to write a report for my next jaunt around Asia (albeit in J, rather than F!)

Great report - good to hear about the buses in Argentina - looking forward to our trip in September I managed the Cuzco - Puno rail trip in Peru in the 80s and Xining-Golmud in China five or six years ago.

The Prospector should have gotten to 160+km/hr given the track improvements in the last few years. At least it did for me in the opposite direction. Which leads to the question - how did you get from Kalgoorlie back to Perth?

Happy wandering

Wow! Just a bit short, can you post some details please? ;) :D

Thank you so much! Reading this was a wonderful way to procrastinate on studying for my finals. :D

Being new here, I'm not very familiar with your situation--beyond that your TRs are held in extremely high regard. I don't mean to pry, but what sort of job/travel situation allows you to experience such travels so that you can relay them to us?

The aircraft in the photo was a Convair 880 or 990. :)

WOW... I am highly impressed.. Please tell me how to book some of those bus trips in South America. My partner and I are heading down to EZE for 2 weeks and wanted to take some side trips...

Best TR ever - saw a lot of places that I never knew existed. Thanks OP!

Thank you for another awesome adventure report.

I've just lost an hour or two, quite happily, reading your both halves. It was time well spent.

looking forward to your next report. And hopefully one of these days I'd get to ride one of those awesome Argentina buses in seat 2A ;)

Keep it up, you are an inspiration for us kids ^

Things I did today:

1. Got up.
2. Had large coffee
3. Read this trip report (part 1)
4. Went for a run
5. Read this trip report (part 2)

Thanks for a day well spent!!

Your comment that
is spot on. Few things in life are as relaxing and pleasurable as a transpac in F. Such flights provide a welcome respite from work, email, and phones, a great meal (usually), and plenty of rest in a seat that is also a bed. I feel lucky to have experienced this as you clearly seem to do also from your comments. Thanks for the very detailed report!!

Another fantastic report - thanks for writing this up (and the photo teaser a few weeks ago).

As entertaining and inspirational as ever. Didn't even wait to get home so will be light a few billable hours today! Thanks for the time and effort you put into these - always a pleasure to read.

Fantastic! What an inspiration to one day take a similar trip!

Both Parts 1 and 2 of the trip report are amazing!! I truly enjoyed reading them. I hope I can try flying LAN one day.
