The other day while sitting at home bored, and anxiously awaiting my upcoming trip, I was wondering if it was possible to create a trip itinerary on an interactive map. Of course the genius that is google maps allows you to do just that. After wasting a solid two hours mapping my trip in unnecessary detail, this is what I came up with.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=106931818207814107841.000484edb3776611f3a2e&ll=38.
I could not however, in those two hours, figure out how to properly post a link into my blog; so I have gone with the standby copy and paste method. You have to copy the link on the page and paste it into your browser (is that the right word?). I will try and update this map as I go along as it will likely undergo minor or even major changes, due to such events as natural disasters (Iceland) or unstable political situations (Thailand). Maybe at some point I'll even figure out how to properly link the page.
Subject to Internet availability and time, I will also try to post pictures on both this blog and my Picasa site and if I'm a big keener maybe even facebook as well.

Somehow that link worked so maybe I'm on the right track? If you can't already tell, I am super excited about this trip and I will likely be back to write about more mundane things before I've even left the country.
