False Pass, Alaska. A fairly long ride on the vomit comet (MV Tustumena - if you get sea sick you may want to pass) to get there, but a beautiful place and great trip.

Besides LaPaz, another remote place was Cold Bay in the Aleutians for a refueling stop on the way to SEA. Might not count, since we never got off the airplane.

We went 4.5 hours up the amazon river to a remote village and stayed for 10 days. I caught a big red Pirrahana. tastes like cod with lime juice. Those little things in the water that are attracted to urine, are real and ugly.

Northern Pakistan, on the Karakoram highway, crossing from Pakistan into Xinkiang province China. That gave us access to the fabled trading city of Kashgar, which at that point still had many vestiges of its legendary past.

Most remote place we've been to is Easter Island, a six hour flight from Santiago, Chile, in a wide body jet. The airport on Easter Island is windy and the plane has three chances to land; don't make it in three, back to Santiago. With only one flight a day, a missed landing makes rebooking an interesting issue.

Until I arrive in Borneo in June, the Okavango Delta and Antarctica are the most remote places I’ve visited
