My revised itinerary for the next 10 weeks or so.

The next 10 weeks look to be to be among the craziest and most exhilarating of my life- certainly the most joyful of the last decade. During this period of time, I will not only travel the farthest I have ever traveled but the farthest ever in each of the 4 directions- north, south, east and west.
