Aug 31st, 2011 at 2:00PM: February 27, 2005: I posted about jetlag and date confusion, about how I can't keep a calendar straight, how my expat life made that even harder for me to do, and how oh, we're going skiing and also, I can't wait to eat noodles later!

...One for the Road: Globetrotter's Logbook
Dec 5th, 2007 at 9:00AM: Last time I mentioned the Globetrotter's Logbook series, I focused on their newest guide, a niche book devoted to six Flemish cities.

The best part ...Aspinal's Envelope-Wrap Journals
May 26th, 2007 at 9:26AM: You may love your steeped-in-history Moleskine travel journal. However, Aspinal of London's Envelope Wrap Journal may give the legendary Italian notebook a run for its money in the coolness department. Hand-made from soft, supple calfskin, and hand-waxed to a high-gloss finish, Aspinal's journals contain 300 pages -- choose between feint lined or "plain buttery cream" -- for you to encourage your ...Nomad Travel Journals Help Keep the Cobwebs Away
