Finally signed up...
I've lurked here off and on for a while. In fact, I was nearly certain that I'd created an account sometime way back, but it appears I never did.
So I finally took the plunge. I've gotten so much help from the advice of Grant and Susan, as well as other people on this site.
Some of you probably know me from ADVrider where I spend a lot of time. I manage the Tent Space list there.
By coincidence, about the time that I signed up here, a good friend of mine started talking to me about taking a round-the-world trip. I thought she was joking at first, but I think she's serious. I bought her a world map tonight and we looked it over while she showed me some of the places she'd like to visit. She said it's something she's wanted to do her whole life, but she's never met anyone else who would go... so we've very tentatively set a plan to leave in the spring of 2015.
You'll see me around more and more, and I hope to contribute too. I have quite a bit of experience in traveling cheaply.
