Posts will now be two weeks late…

When I’m traveling, I won’t have access to a computer all the time, so I’ll have to write posts up in bulk after the fact, so you’ll have a steady stream of new reading/listening/watching material. For example:

Basically you’ll read everything 2 weeks after It actually happens. This will give me time to make sure I don’t miss days for posts (though I’m sure this will end up happening) and to make sure I don’t need to worry about getting to an internet cafe at the end of every day.

So, to get into this habit, and to avoid a big gap in posts when i actually start traveling, I’ll start posting now two weeks in advance. This means you’ll see things two weeks late. You should see at least one post every day, though, which would mean there will be nearly 600 posts by the time I actually leave (wow!).

The Problem With Travel Insurance Is…

As anyone who actually reads this blog often (no one) will know, I will be taking an expensive laptop, camera, D-SLR camera and video camera with my on my trip around the world. This, it seems, is a problem for most insurance companies who want to insure a maximum of $5000 personal belongings, with a $750 item limit.

Luckily, I found “1cover.com.au” which will cover everything! They have the standard $5000 thing, but they let you specify extra items to cover - and their limit will allow me to specify everything I want to cover. Whoo! Granted, the cover is about $980 for one year but…I’ll take what I can get.

So if someone mugs me or something, I’ll be covered for all my (very valuable) equipment :) awesome.
