Introduction

This was created as a way to purge the majority of my travel thoughts off Facebook and expand to a full travel journal without the perceived guilt of spamming. Hopefully I can expand to add photos, maps, and shiny things to my text.  I am also hoping that it will keep my itinerary planning more organized, I have been way too lucky with the scraps of paper system.
