Far Flung Spots That are Worth the Trek

A Mongolian retreat, serious mystery in northern Thailand, and the sound of my popping some Xanax

Live for travel, hate the journey. In other words: Despise. Flying. I’ve been to hypnotists, therapists, pilot programs - name it, I’ve done it. But nothing really quells the fear that so many of us share. That said, I still do it; I get on the plane every time. I have my routine, I have my Rx - and that’s just the deal. Because everywhere that I am still dying to visit is just sooo damn far. I’m talking Bhutan, Botswana, Vietnam - a lot of the very best places on earth are just really hard to get to. Below, hotels that make the miles, the sedation and the white knuckling all worth it.
