See what I did with the URL?

I know, it's clever isn't it?

OK maybe not. See my brighter airier template? This is to demonstrate my light holiday mood you see, it's very symbolic.

It's also the first non-crappy one I saw after the one i use for my regular blog .

"So, Matt. Why are you using another blog for your hols? Why not just use your normal one, you know your going to complain just as much as normal!"

Basically the plan is to post lots of pictures and hopefully update daily when I am away, probably lots of short irritating posts. As opposed to the witty, insightful commentaries on my other blog.

Also, there are like two people who seem to like reading my other blog but they may not necessarily be interested in my trek abroad - perhaps they are Luddites, fear the Heathen or think that 'abroad' is a made up place and these are just the ravings of a madman.

Anyway, it's here now so hello! - I'll post again either Friday evening (GMT) or Sunday morning (Pittsburgh time).
