Dave -- Have you read "Eastward to Tartary: Travels in the Balkans, the
Middle East, and the Caucasus" by Robert Kaplan (the guy who writes for
Atlantic; he also wrote "Balkan Ghosts") It should give you some valuable
insight.
Also, go to Lonely Planet's website and clip through to their forums (Thorn
Tree posts? or something like that). There are a lot of adventurous posters
there. :-)
