Back in prehistoric times, (before the Interweb) Claudia and I took two very different trips: a "traditional" one to the UK which we recorded in the traditional way, in a scrap book, and the other to Corsica where I discovered the value of writing down my thoughts observations and impressions. Nearly ten years flew by before the next trip again in the UK, where we attempted a technological revolution: posting our status online, if not daily, then regularly. The rest, as they say, is history.

Eventually, those early trips will be here too. But for now I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with the present.

In October 2005 Wayne and I celebrated our 50th birthdays with the first major trip in a decade. I hit my second continent (California) in my mid-20's so there's a symmetry to hitting the third 25 years later. However, we're resolved to quicken the pace a little, because we don't have the required extra 100 years to cover the last four.

The Coast-To-Coast walk was the first trip recorded directly to the Web. In fact, in its first incantation, it was uploaded in real time during the trip, so that family and friends back home could track us as we went.

A brief encounter of the best kind: two days prepended to a business trip; with two colleagues and the only connection between the three being a shared sense that "it seemed a good idea at the time" but which exceeded all our expectations.
