Introduction

I’ve always kept a travel journal in one form or another since I started travelling. With varying degrees of success I must admit.

Communication with family and friends is something else I’ve always done. Periodic phone calls, long letters to individuals and long ‘group letters’ to be passed on to everyone.

Then the whole process became much easier. Computers were everywhere, sometimes in the most astounding places. Email became my main form of communication with family members and friends.

Now there is this. An online travel journal, if I can get it up and running!

I trialled most of the available online travel journals and was not quite happy with any of them. So I thought, I’ll just set up my own.

Brilliant, inspiring even. I do not even know the first thing about setting up websites. So you’ll have to bear with me, or not as you choose.

Finally its 2010.  My RTW is still on the cards so that little clock is counting down steadily to the big departure day planned in November this year. Your welcome to come back and join me then when the journal will be more active although from now, until my departure there will be updates on my progress.  Final confirmation on my departure should be in the beginning of August.  Feel free to check out my photo gallery which has over 200 photos from Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao, Morocco, Thailand, New York, Canada and Egypt or read my journal from some of my other trips.

The video above is something that I put together while trying to get the video section up and running and I decided to leave it up.  I hope you enjoy my very first foray into the whole video medium, ‘Moments In The World’.  The first set of Videos is up being the Thailand 2007 series and the second set from the trip to New York in 2008 and now one from my trip to Egypt in 2009.  They can be found both on the Journal and Video Pages or just clicking on one of the links under ‘Country Journal Videos’.  I’m currently working on the video’s from the Egypt trip and hope to have something up shortly.

Welcome to the armchair view of my travels.
