The original plan was to update this blog every two days or so. Ah... yeah. Didn't happen. I'm over half way into the journey and this is my first entry. I would like to start off by doing an acknowledgement to the people who lent me money:

Tony: Lent me $500 American in various installments to get me by after I lost my wallet.

Eifion: Lent me $560 American in various installments. Yet to pay him back in sterling.

Andrea & Kevin: Bankrolled my drinking and eating in NYC because banks are closed on the weekend. Andrea especially who then insisted I didn't owe her anything. Damn Canadians!

Todd: Lent me $100 American that I still have to pay back.

Tracey: Lent me $20 American to buy lunch and such. I actually paid her back.

Vanessa: My tour leader who bankrolled my drinking in Boston (actually only a few pints of Boston's finest), and then told me not to worry about paying her back because she enjoyed herself. Paid her back with tip.

Martin: Bankrolled my drinking in Køenhavn and, for that matter, my eating too. Now I'm left to calculate Kroners to work out how much I owe him.

Mum & Dad... for loaning me money and sending me drugs and going to Western Union for me.
