Name for Travel.SE chat room

Question

Not a particularly serious discussion but I think it should be fun. Does anyone have name suggestions for Travel.SE's chat room? 'Travel' sounds meh. For example, Writers.SE call theirs The Overlook Hotel, Superuser call theirs Root Access.

I'm thinking something like what the airlines call their special lounges for frequent fliers. But I don't know them off the top of my head... — hippietrail, Sep 2, 2011 at 21:54
Too bad some good ones are already taken such as "Footprints", "Let's Go", and the very poetic "Lonely Planet". — hippietrail, Sep 5, 2011 at 8:52
Others such as "On The Road" and "Off the Beaten Track" might be regarded as already taken...? — hippietrail, Sep 5, 2011 at 10:49

Here's one we should all be familiar with from staring at helpful tourist maps anywhere in the world:

I was thinking so too but still only by one vote. Should we give ourselves a deadline and if there is a clear winner at that point go with it? Say one week?

Perhaps a new thread with the top 10 candidates, and people can comment with their first and second preferences. Once we have more than say 15 people comment, we should have a winner?

Yes I was thinking about that too. Maybe we can ask people to vote up the question, or add a comment, as a way of tracking how many people bothered to vote. It's a shame we can't put a bounty on meta questions (-: I say just go for it on your own or among your fellow diamonds.

Suddenly had this idea of remote places and the one most often cited as being waaay out there - Timbuktu !

answered Sep 8, 2011 at 15:43

Or a variant like Timbuktu to Kalamazoo, from perhaps Dr Seuss?

I thought of this theme too but not this example. Mine all sounded too Australia specific: Beyong the Black Stump, The Back of Beyond, Woop Woop so I went with Middle of Nowhere instead. Should I bring in any of those others though?

There doesn't seem to be any standard or obvious "travel + meeting" metaphor but there are places where we at least crowd around...

Here's a couple of international destinations famous for being totally overrun by tourists:

Freak Street (Street in Kathmandu, Nepal named after the hippies in the 60s that got there by the hippie trail)
Khaosan Road (Current hub in Bangkok for years of tourists entering, leaving, or just stuck permanently in Southeast Asia)
