What else? I've worked out some more specific dates for my trip. Some of you have mentioned that you'll be traveling in the area. If your path is going to cross mine, drop me an email and we can meet up.

June 13th to 18th - Kyrgyzstan (staying in yurts; horseback riding)
June 19th to 30th - Tajikistan (traveling the Pamir Highway; doing Dushanbe)
July 1st to 12th - Uzbekistan (seeing the big Silk Road cities)
July 12th to 17th - Turkmenistan (crossing the desert; enjoying relics of Turkmenbashi)
July 18th to 29th - the South Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia)

How hard was the azeri visa process?
In Turkey, I highly recommend Cappadocia. It is one of the most amazing, unique places I have ever been.
I'm not sure how much there is to "doing Dushanbe." Beer and shashlike near the opera, most likely.
Azeri visa was simple, but insanely expensive ($131 for the crappiest stamp ever).
All you have to do is get a photo, fill out the application, and a hotel booking (can be cancelled later). The consul in DC is a really nice dude and can do it in two days if you ask.
ah, thanks
