Travel 2007

The first two weeks of 2007 has gone pretty well. Apart from the many outings with great friends, and also getting started with my weight-gain program and going to the gym, I have also begun plans for this year's many travel vacations.

Here's a skeletal plan so that everyone, including me, can keep track of where I'll be going, how much money I'll be spending, and how much fun I'll be having.
