		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone, I started this blog almost exactly six months ago. It has covered a few months of pre-trip planning and angst, my actual travel adventures, and then some post-mortem reviews. At this point, there isn&#8217;t much more to say, and I think it is time to bring closure to the write-up. I had marked [...]]]></description>

That post is thus far the most visited of the whole blog, by several percentage points (it gets linked to in a bunch of places). I&#8217;ve also [...]]]></description>

The tour company had offered the option of wind surfing/kite surfing if it was windy that day or kayaking if it wasn&#8217;t. It [...]]]></description>

I think a 5 day tour is about the maximum I can handle without some serious independent time. Various of my compatriots also had had [...]]]></description>
