Intro

Welcome to the travel journal!! (Or blog if you prefer). This will chronicle the around the world trip of myself (David), and Mark, who will introduce himself in a later post. For those of you reading the journal who have only met one of us, the quick background for this trip is we've been friends for basically our entire lives, and we've been talking about taking this around the world backpacking trip ever since we spent almost four weeks backpacking through Europe after graduation. Mark is also indentifying himself with a sign in the picture to the right of the post, which makes me the guy on the left.

Well, now the trip we've been talking about for years will finally commence as we fly to Argentina on October 14. The quick overview of the trip is we will be going to Argentina, Chile, and Peru first. From there we'll head to Australia and New Zealand. Next up is Thailand and Southeast Asia. Finally we'll wrap things up in eastern Europe before heading back to the good ol US of A in a year. If this type of travel interests you and you'll be in the neighborhood of our trip, be sure to track us here and let me know.

This blog has a comment feature under each post, so in addition to email you can also directly comment on anything that's posted here. My last day in Virginia is Sept 30 when I lose my apartment; I'll spend the remaining time before departure in NC.

That is just wundafull Dave! As soon as I figure out how to work this "blog" thing, I'll be sure to post my intro. We'll try to make this as interesting as possible for everyone so that it becomes incredibly popular and we can sell ad space and continue globetrotting perpetually.
