RTW progress report posted
 

Our RTW has now reached Oz, and I've added some content to the blog/website linked in the signature line below. The addition includes AA FC SEA-ORD-LAX-HNL and QF J HNL-SYD, along with commentary and ruminations. Feedback here or via the site welcome.

Looks great ^ , Gardyloo! Only thing I think would add a bit more to your website would be a few more photos, but I know how time-consuming it is getting them prepared and uploaded!!! :)

Thanks - I've added plenty more; report now includes around half the Oz portion of the RTW; flight reports coming soon.

Wow. What an amazing blog! You have put an incredible amount of work into it. It is really a work of art. Of course, I enjoyed the logistics parts - the schedule, with all of its clickable links, and the discussion of how to put together RTWs.

And btw - killer picture of your son and his bride-to-be amidst the flowers.^

A most excellent website!^

Thank you for sharing your travels in such a complete manner.

Love it! Great stuff.

:D :D :D

gardyloo,

I'm lovin' it !

What a great website, and a great account of a great trip.

The feedback button on the site isn't working for me, though - might just be me or might be worth checking out.

Also, there is one cheap place to stay around Uluru - if you head east about 50 miles, you get to the Curtin Springs homestead, where a double room costs only A$50. Although it's a simple place, it's a bargain, and does allow you to sit in the pub drinking $3 tooheys with the locals :D

cheers

Another update with minor format changes posted today.

I'll try to repair the email link - mysterious.

Awesome!! I am so jealous. Hope to do a similar trip when boys are out of school. I will be closely following your reports.

Hi

Great job with the website ^ I'm liking this format more and more over the tradional post plain text stuff we see on FT. I hope to one day soon start my own RTW and track my progress on a website for all to share. Enjoy your trip - sounds like an amazing experience. :)

My God, that must have taken alot of work, planning and effort. It is marvellous. Very well planned and written and the pictures eve. I enjoyed it tremendously. Keep it up pal. ^ ^ ^

More updates posted - only a few pix from the first 4 days in Africa uploaded so far (out of >700 taken) - we'll be out of connectivity for a few days in the bush so if I can I'll update narrative etc. during that time, battery willing.

However I've posted a flight report on our SYD-JNB seg in QF J including some interesting aerial pix and one of a sky route map one doesn't see every day. Check it out.

Quick advice if you come to Zimbabwe. Bring your own petrol. Also dollars - lots of dollars. And don't forget your humility. Cried when I had no shoes... if you know what I mean.

Peace...

I ran out of storage on my host so I've had to open a secondary site to continue with the Africa portion - http://home.comcast.net/~gardyloo2

No flight reports yet but some pix and a little narrative on events up till around 10 days ago. More in process.

Meanwhile, here's a sample pic; a cautionary note is that the site has an R-rated image of lions doing the wild thing.

Awsome blog! Many thanks.

Wonderful writing. Waiting for the rest of the Africa portion.
