About my Travel Blog

Welcome to our travel journal. Here I will try to capture the story of our travels. I started the journal in 2009, but did not keep it up for a couple trips in 2010, so there is a big gap. Some day I may go back and fill in the gaps, but in the mean time I wanted to be sure to capture our 2011 Alaska trip.

I will try to keep the journal as current as possible, but there will usually be some delay before a page is published. It takes a little time to get each page ready and a little bandwidth to get the pictures uploaded. I am particularly at the mercy of bad internet connections, so don't expect immediate uploads. This will be particularly true when we are in Canada, where we will only use the Verizon card in an emergency. Verizon no longer offers a Canadian data plan, and it costs $2 a megabte. Yes, I said megabyte, not gigabyte.
What about Facebook?
In case you are wondering, I do not post anything about my travels on Facebook. I think that would be like just taking out an ad that says "No one is home - now would be a good time to go rob my house." Here, I don't use my real name, so it would be a little harder to figure out which house to rob. Yes, I know someone could put the pieces together if they wanted to, but your typical burglar is not reading blogspot to figure out what house to go rob. I just didn't want to make it too easy.
Enjoy!
