The purpose of this blog was first and foremost to provide a single on-line resource for the travelers before/during/after the trip. To that end, I have created the itinerary page and created blog entries with most of the information that Susan has sent out in separate emails. Packing list, hotel itinerary, money belt information, etc. is all there in one easy resource. The itinerary is there, taken from the early tri-fold brochure, and updated with links to the hotels, links to Google maps for the places we'll be seeing, and sometimes links to information about the site like Wikipedia, Virtual Tourist, and/or other internet resources. I hope to get Pastor Wayne's booklet about the trip loaded up there soon. And as a blog, we can all read and/or contribute our own pieces of information, so that the total is much greater than the sum of the parts! To that end, if you send me your email address, I will add you as a contributor (author) on the blog.
Second purpose of the blog is as a record and a way to share the trip with others. Feel free to share the blog with anyone. We hope to post more updates in the coming days. Anyone can "follow" the blog from the main page and get updates when new items are posted.
I hope you find this blog useful and informative!
