World Trip
Introduction
In the summer of 2005 I left my job at BlueTie and went off to travel the world. I packed my backpack and headed off to New York City to crash with a friend while I searched for a cheap plane ticket to some destination in Europe. I flew out on May 19th to Limerick, Ireland.
This journal was written and update while I was traveling. Some basic spelling and grammar editing took place when I got back. I also placed some editorial comments along the way. Other than that, most of this was written during my travels.
The trip took me to many places. I've seen a good chunk of the world, played hard, and met some great people. In fact, on a train, a bit past Moscow, I met Weronika, and we've been together ever since.
