I figure since the government is already watching my every move anyway, I might as well share that info with the world. No reason T.H.E.Y. should have a monopoly on my exact location.
So, besides my regular blog postings from the other side of the world, I’ll also try to Twitter as often as possible/realistic and if those both fail me (due to lack of electricity or connectivity) then at least you’ll know where I Plan to be. Note the link to my Itinerary at the top of the screen.

It’s not exactly as I’d hoped, but since teleporters are yet to be invented and FedEx overnight excludes human transport, I guess I don’t have much of a choice.
So it seems that I will be leaving at 6:20 am on the 16th of June, traveling for 25 hours (19 of those actually on an airplane) and arriving exhausted in Khartoum around 5pm on the 17th. I then have to wait around for a day or two while the government clears me for travel to Darfur, then spend the better part of a day doing that plane trip.
I’ll be getting back around 2:00 in the afternoon on the 3rd of July after 16 hours of flying (not including the trip up from Sudan to Khartoum) and another 9 hours of waiting around airports. I guess that’s a little better than the trip over, but still makes for a very sore rear end. The last leg of the trip is a sold 10 hours from Amsterdam to Seattle.
When all is said and done, I’ll have spent over 40 hours in the air in less than 3 weeks.
