It's funny you started this thread; I just came across the book yesterday in a bookstore and couldn't put it down for a bit but also couldn't get myself to spend the 29.95 to buy it.

Ooh, you guys got me all curious here about experimental travel, so...here's the link coutesy of google... http://www.lonelyplanet.com/experimentaltravel/
I think I may just have to try backpacking at home when I get home this summer. And my friends keep telling me they want to train hop...oh, the possibilities!
I just picked up the book on my lunch break. I needed some light reading for the train and this looked to be just the ticket. Hope it doesn't disappoint!

It definately kept me entertained for a couple of hours.... I'm kind of excited to try a few of these... although there are also a couple I cant really see myself doing... like the airport one... Seattle's airport is less than thrilling.. plus they will give you a ticket if they catch you loitering. *laughs *
