Pacific Crossing, 2002
Cook Islands, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia
The trip the journal was started for. Nearly six months around the Pacific, through New Zealand and Australia, and up into Southeast Asia, from September 2002 into the following spring. It started with a wedding, a Ryder truck across the country, and a JetBlue flight out of New York with a paper diary in the backpack.
