Seven months have gone by since my last entry on April 10. I noticed that my diary page was taking longer to load each time I added an entry. My first plan was to hire a web programmer to develop a method to post entries via email. After waiting several months for results, I took matters into my own hands and learned how to use the format of a web discussion as the basis for my diary, now called "Digital Nomad Travel Notes".

I've acquired almost all the stuff I'll need for traveling. I'm beginning to consider not taking a palmtop computer. Instead, I'm considering taking disks with the programs I'll need and seeking out a fast connection.
