Did you know that Lonely Planet gives awards for "best travel blogs"?! It's true - check it out - http://lplabs.com/2009/03/27/the-2009-lonely-planet-travel-blog-awards-winners/. I got a personal email from Lonely Planet about the award winners just this morning. I actually got a little jealous. Yes, a true Scorpio I am. Tinge of jealousy aside, reading other people's travel blogs was enough to get me typing again. And so, with no further adu, here's the very, very, VERY first travel email I ever sent, in anticipation of the Great South American Adventure of 2006...
HASTA LUEGO!!!
Date Sept 21, 2006
Dear Friends, Loved Ones, and Trouble Makers,
This is a warning that you are officially on my travel email list! Starting around October 4th, you can expect to receive emails from South America and various other places around the world over the next six months (or more)! I'll send out updates from the road, and let you know as our plans develop। Jax and I are heading to Peru on October 4th, returning to California on December 21st. Our current plan is to explore Peru, Chile, Argentina, Patagonia, and Brazil by train, bus, car, foot, and surfboard for the next three months or so. We'll be back for about a week over Christmas, then it's off to the west - towards Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. Besides our round-trip tickets to Peru, further travel arrangements have yet to be made, although there are many plans in the works - New Year's in Costa Rica and harvest season in New Zealand are at the top of my list, for starters! :) Please let me know if I left someone off this email list, if I have a wrong address, or if you receive duplicate emails. My cell phone will be deactivated while traveling, but I'll be in touch via email whenever I can get to a computer.
Take care and keep in touch!
Love,
Aubrey
