I’ve always packed light but this this takes the cake. I’d be surprised if the pack was more than 10 lbs. With convenience comes sacrifice, however, as only three shirts and two pairs of pants combined with 15 miles of walking per day won’t leave a necessarily pleasant smell.

Back row (top left to right) – clothes (two pairs of pants, three shirts, three pairs of wool socks, three pairs of underwear), fleece, First Aid kit, money belt, dummy wallet, Ziploc bags, misc. bag, passport, London map, Camino guides, journals, micro towel.

Bottom row (left to right) - Cubs hat, blister kit, Brazilian sandals, flash memory drive, pens, sunglasses, camera case, shirts, compass w/ LED, sewing kit, electrical adapter, wristwatch, ear plugs, wallet.

Redesigned! One of my recent YouTube uploads said we’d be back on-line in January 2009 – better late than never.

I created this blog to document my second trip to South America last year. Does this mean another trip is on the horizon? Patience is the companion of wisdom.

Meanwhile, I’ll be blogging about travel-related items to keep up on my favorite hobby. Not forgetting that there are great escapes just outside my front door, I’ll also be highlighting Midwestern attractions (the world’s largest popcorn ball is a short drive away).

Here are some things to note:

Do you Know Your Flags? I know my flags fairly well and I’ll be posting a new one each week. Click on the flag to learn its history.

Check out the “Blogroll” and assorted links. If you have a site you like send it my way and I’ll add it to the list. Travelindependent.info is the best travel site I’ve found. Kayak usually provides the cheapest airfare on the Internet.

Note the two illustrations, Seth from Greece and Seth from Peru, illustrated by Mike Sgier. The images in the illustrations are taken directly from my own photos. Mike has a couple other illustrations in the works – keep an eye out. Browse Mike’s site for the other great work he does.
