O.K. Let’s give it one more go. I’ve tried these travelblogs before and they always seem to get screwed up somehow. Gambia and Senegal never got edited and the partial blog of Trinidad, Tobago and the Southern Caribbean just evaporated on the server. I’m assured by those wiser and more optimistic than me that these posts will all surface in the fullness of time and that, by the time I’m too old to drag my tired carcass further than between the P.C. and the television in the bedroom, all the old posts will be ordered and dated. Giving me all the time left to me to pore morosely over my past, the far off places I have visited, and the idiocies I engaged myself with while there. I’m just going to leave the two entries above as bookmarks and get on with preparing for the new trip. There are four days left until I leave. Richard Hawley is coming over from Brighton tomorrow give me a good send off, heh heh. We’ll see if we can get a few pointers there on how to conduct oneself when faced with such an undertaking. I’m a bon vivant like himself will be sure to have a few scraps for me. In the meantime I invite all my friends and loved ones to follow my progress on this small adventure and to add what advice and criticism them may deem useful.
