More than 5 YEARS later!

I never actually forgot about this blog - I just got completely separated from it.  I lost a link / forgot a password, who knows.    I even went looking for it about a year ago with no luck.   Who knew the secret for finding my way in again lay only in following the ancient link from my CouchSurfing profile while simultaneously being logged in to Google Chrome?  It's great when new technology opens old doors.  Facebook has pretty much made this blog even more irrelevant than it always was, but this page is a little more 'mine' so I think I'll start showing it a little more TLC.

As this is a travel blog, let's do a quick run down of my travels for the last 5+ years, shall we?   For sanity's sake, I'm going to just stick to the international travel.  Notice the sharp drop off that begins in 2009...

That is a fairly accurate list, but I'm sure I've left something off.     The next time I feel like procrastinating my post-travel laundry (as I am right now) I'll go about uploading some pictures.
