So today is the first day of the week before I leave for the US. This time next week, I'll be on Pacific Time and though it'll feel like 11 it'll actually still only be 2pm Blimey! I'm worn out tonight and going to bed very soon, but I've decided I need to be keeping…
I'm in the process of asking for donations to help fund the trip – I'm going to write about the process some more today, but basically yesterday I started systematically asking twitter friends to make a donation and spread the word. After I'd gone to bed last night, Drew Buddie tweeted a link to the…
This picture reminds me to just keep taking the next right step. By far the most frequently-asked question of me at the moment is “How is the planning going?” I had a bit of deja vu writing that sentence and thought I must have written about it last year, but I’ve just had a look…

I learned, experientially, two important lessons during last year’s trip that I thought I already knew. It turned out I knew the theory, but I needed some schooling in the practice.

It's getting more and more exciting. Bits of corporate support and sponsorship are coming together, though no announcements yet.
