Hello all... this will be the new format for my new trip. If you don't know already, I will be going to the Middle East for 6 months. We leave in April to Istanbul... from there we will go by land through Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt.... and fly home from Cairo 6 months later. My friend Steven is going with me. Links and contact info are on the side as well as a link to my blog and my pictures from the last adventure. This should be alot easier to keep up to date, so maybe you'll get more regular updates this time. Next entry will probably be just before I leave. until then.... peeeeeeeeace -CJ
