This is a copy of my old Deck Log (Online Journal). I am now using an online blog at my "Have Web Sites Will Travel" web site. I use it to chronolog my travels around North America (my American Odyssey).

This "Old" Deck Log is now only an archive of past postings. It tell's the reader where I have visited and what adventures I have had up til the time I started my blog on Have Web Sites Will Travel. This archive was written primarily from the perspective of a tourist. Not necessarily my work log though I may do some of that too, especially in those early days when I built the sites resouces. Initially I used it to detail my efforts in getting prepared for the adventure. Then I chronicled the adventure itself.

Log Entry Title:     Update on the Traveling Webmasters Preperations

Log Entry:     Fast approaching another milestone. Under 30 days! I've mentioned this before, but this approaching my adventures start date reminds me so much of my Navy days, that it bares mentioning again. When I was approaching a transfer date from one duty station to another duty station the excitement for the next adventure would rise and didn't peak until after the reality of work settled in on me after arriving at the new duty station. Now that I am a two digit midget (actually since day 99) and fast approaching the point where I can say it is this month and not just next month, the excitement is increasing almost by the day. I love it! I guess you can say I am getting a short timers attitude.

One of the things that really hiked my excitement was the purchase this past week of my "American Odyssey." She will be both my home and my transport. Below is a picture of her.

Thar She Blows!

Have Web Sites Will Travel will Travel aboard the American Odyssey

I call my travel rig the "American Odyssey" because I have seen enough of America to be awed by her and I know that there is a lot more of America that I have not seen, therefor my new adventure can only be an "American Odyssey." So why not name my Travel Rig the "American Odyssey!"

More in the next week or so!
