Change of plan

Ok, so I'm hijacking my own blog. This was initially an experiment for me that I ran out of time and patience to continue. Birdsearch was going to chronicle my adventures around Australia while birding. Turns out you don't have a lot to write about when your binoculars break and you're too busy with a Masters degree anyway. So for the next month, I'll be hijacking this blog for my trip to the USA. I can't promise a post a day - though I will try. I can't promise lots of pretty pictures on the blog - I may not even have a way of downloading my shots til I get back. I can however promise my semi-literate, probably highly boring prose will keep you informed of my progress across the country. The general running order of the trip (without giving too much away) is:

New York (New York!),
Jacksonville (Florida),
Park City (Utah - come for the skiing stay for the polygamy!),
Phoenix (Arizona),
and Las Vegas (Nevada).

You'll probably all tune out til Las Vegas to see if I do something stupid, I'm sure. I'm not really sure what format this will take. I'm a bit rusty on the whole writing thing, particularly for travel. I'm thinking of tackling it from the point of a travel guide kinda thing - who knows, if I make myself pay attention enough I might even be able to polish it up a bit and shop it to a magazine at the end? Regardless, my time will be pretty crazy, and I will do my best to chronicle my travels, but no promises. If I get distracted by something shiny, you'll just have to do without my scintillating wit til I get back. I bet you miss me already!
