Hi Billy: New York is a tough one, as even the hostels are expensive and
some of the lower priced ones don’t get very good reviews. However, I stayed
at Hotel 17 in Manhattan this past summer and got a private room with shared
bathroom for around $99 per night, as I recall. Nice place, great
neighborhood, and not too bad for NYC. Hope that helps.

Hi Barbara,

I really like reading your traveling posts. I have been backpacking around south-east asia for three months and when i go for my next long backpacking trip i will go around the world.

Have you ever stayed at an cheap hostel in New york? In manhattan or brooklyn maybe?

Best Regards Billy

What a great sounding trip. 4 to 5 days in Lima strikes me as a long time. You may want to consider a visit to Arequipa in the south of Peru – a beautiful colonial Spanish city with a superb and photgenic old convent among other things. Food for thought anyway.

I’d love to see a bit more of South America after my trip to Ecuador – just didn’t get time to see the Galapagos though. Hope your Spanish is good – or it probably will be by the time you’ve finished.

Hi Jen: Yes, I’m excited. Since returning from my RTW in mid-2007, I’ve been traveling stateside so I could build the blog, but now it’s time to get back out there. I come back the end of June for TBEX, then 2 months in the states before I go back out for another 5 months, beginning with the World Expo in China. Then Nepal, Bhutan , Burma, Malaysia, Thailand (my 4th time – I love it there), a month in Laos, Borneo, Papua New Guinea, maybe even some South Pacific if there’s time. All on a shoestring, so should be doubly interesting. Thanks for following me around the world! Helps to know people will be reading. And maybe it will convince other baby boomers that it’s never too late to change your life.
