Comment on Ocatlan
Alli & I travel a lot and I usually write up my journals later on in my personal journals. I have been using this website so much for research that I decided to begin contributing, even if I write most of the journals when we get home.
We have added a little one to our family. At this writing, he is 20 months old and quite a handful - also an experienced traveller with trips to Germany, Miami and Costa Rica.
