You can’t get places without a map, can you? Even if you do not use one, your journey is mapped. Well, I think so, since I adore maps.

I was not thinking about putting one together, though, until a tweet from Bruno who saw my tweets from Death Valley, on the drive from Arizona to northern California:

After a bit of exchange and future travel planning, my brain said, I better do so!

So now I have a Google Map going for major stops on the trip so far, which was the drive across to California, and the long****** flight to Melbourne, where I sit now blogging.

Hmm, let’s see if this map works….

Wow, it does.

Let’s see, this is the map from my trip around Australia in 2007:

And just for fun, the path on my first trip here in 2000 (before Google existed!)

  1. Great, I’m happy with the map.

    Also very interested by your 2007 tour of Australia. Considering distances and timing, I infered you used a lot of airplanes. What about driving?

  2. Hi

    We’re happy to write the post on any topic you suggest, or have you write the post that we’ll sponsor (please just let us approve the topic prior to writing).

    1. The price is $25,000 in advance. The blog post I shall write is about social media “experts” who do not read the very clear note at the bottom of every web page on my site and who fail to notice the total lack of ads and guest posts here.

      I await your reply.
