The preparation has been as much of an adventure as the trip!
The idea started about 2 years ago. Down payment, final payment, mandatory China visa, health emergency evacuation insurance, ticket, contract of carriage. Then, satellite phone, fast email, blog. I'll write more about this and the costs later.
Well, the moment of truth is here. Sunday, I will start the drive to Austin, TX. My kind high school classmate, Jack, has agreed to store my vehicle, and transport me to Houston, the start and end of my voyage.
My full adventure site is on adventure.stenseth.org.

Dale, George, Hubert, and Dieter in ancient Siam Park.
This is my journal, as I traveled around the world on a working freighter. My 4 month journey began in Houston, Texas on October 16th, 2008 and ended exactly where it started, on February 21st, 2009. Because I did not have internet access, special thanks to Dave and Laura, who cleaned up what I beamed in by satellite.
