Your site (about which someone posted on a vanagon listserv) is most amusing.

But I’m sorry to see you snuck into Petra without paying, and even sorrier to see you announce it to the world as if it proved your daring and spirit. It costs money to protect places like Petra from destruction, and even more to open them to the public. You three aren’t the only ones who want to see Petra - we all do, especially now that it has been designated one of the seven new wonders of the world. For that to be possible, the Jordanian government has to manage it as a tourist site. And they have to pay for that. Which is why it costs a lot to visit.

You guys can clearly afford to not work for a long time on your jaunt to South Africa. You should be paying for your pleasures yourselves, not taking them from others.

What’s more, you give a bad name to young travelers, to Europeans, and to vanagonauts the world over.

So quit it, guys!
