This is the official blog by me, Daniel Neal. All others claiming to be Daniel Neal are frauds and should be prosecuted in a court of law immediately! I will be travelling around Earth for the next 5 months from October 16th, 2007 to March 11th, 2008, with my friends Kamberly and Pauliwog (not exactly their real names). We will be travelling to Middle Earth for 2 months, aka New Zealand, which is actually closer to Antarctica than I was expecting so I will need to pack some warmer clothes. Australia for 2 weeks, where my aunt and uncle brought back one of the funniest gifts for me, a pouch made out of kangaroo scrotum. It's practical because it keeps the kangaroo population down and I can store things in it. Thailand and Cambodia are next, this is where Kamisan will be meeting Paul and myself and where we will be spending a solid 5 weeks. Apparently we should stay on the beaten path in Cambodia because they still have landmines, oops. Then for the last 5 weeks we will peruse Italy and Spain where we will most likely spend the remainder of our money plus some we don't have. I can picture myself calling family members, asking how much it is worth to them, monetarily, to get me home : )

I think the website claims that anyone can comment on my journal entries, so I encourage that. You can also continue leaving messages or poke me on facebook if you so please. I will have my cell phone on me, but the number is different for travelling. If you just have to talk to me for some unforseen reason, an asteroid is hurtling toward earth and we only have a day left, then you can call me. Message me or call my parents for the number. Otherwise I will keep contact with all of you through this, facebook, myspace, and e-mail. That should be sufficient.

I will try to update this at least once a week so keep checking back. I will see all of you when I get home.

Peace out, Daniel
