Wheels In Motion
AirTreks received my payment today for the first half of my flights, and the tickets are in the works. I should have them in a couple of weeks. I was only able to book the first half now, as airline ticket inventory only goes so far into the future. The other half I’ll book on the way. Perhaps by the halfway point my itinerary will be completely different, and I’ll just go where the wind takes me. Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, my application for extra pages to my passport’s visa section is on its way out. And the good folks at BootsnAll have posted my RTW profile, complete with a pretty cool portrait my brother Mark shot for me:

I’m pretty shocked when reviewing the profiles of the other RTWers. A lot of them are skipping out on Africa and just doing the SE Asia/Oz/NZ thing. My first trip to Africa is what infected me with the Travel Bug in the first place! Oh well, their loss…

This blog entry was originally posted on July 28, 2003 on the blog, "The Global Trip 2004: Sixteen Months Around The World (Or Until Money Runs Out, Whichever Comes First)," hosted by BootsnAll.com. It is one of over 500 entries that chronicled a trip around the world from October 2003 to March 2005, encompassing travel through thirty-seven countries in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. It was this blog that "started it all," where Erik evolved and honed his style of travel blogging. (It starts to come into focus around the time he arrives in Africa.)
Praised and recommended by USA Today, RickSteves.com, and readers of BootsnAll and Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree, The Global Trip blog was selected by the editors of PC Magazine for the "Top 100 Sites You Didn't Know You Couldn't Live Without" (in the travel category) in 2005.
