Mr.Haines was quoted:"In five years, travel there will be routine. But currently a visitor is a message of hope." as the last paragraph of the article.

I think Ben is away for a few more weeks! He said he would be gone for about 3 weeks

But he has been posting occasionally from the road, and likely checking e-mail as well. Hope you are continuing to have a good trip, Ben... Best wishes, Rex

Doesn't surprise me that Mr. Haines is quoted in National Geographic Traveler. His impressions are insightful and enlightening, his advice thorough, and his responses to travel questions prompt and courteous. Way to go Ben. Kathy

Hope you're continuing to enjoy your trip,Ben. Congratulations on your accomplishment. Ben has always been amazingly insightful, informed and giving to others on this board, including myself. Couldn't be happier for you.

For those of you who might not have recognized the famous initials of “our” favorite world-beater, here are the URLs for the five posts Ben has made so far on his current trek through Poland, the Baltics and more. http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1384851 BH in Warsaw http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1385525&numresponses=3&st art=0 BH in Vilnius: 1 http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1385526 BH in Vilnius: 2 http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1385527 BH in Tallinn 1 http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1385532 BH in Tallinn: 2 Curious, Ben - - from the times you posted these it’s pretty clear that you compose off-line and then post. Do you do this at a cyber café using their word processor? Or carry a laptop?
