NewMexiKen has three travel ideas. For now they are just ideas. I need sponsors and/or companions.
1. Around the world, say in 80 days (why not?). Kind of do the Matt Harding thing without the silly dance.
2. Another 80 days just in Europe; I’ve been to Europe a half-dozen times but never done the grand tour.
3, The Atlantic Coast from Newfoundland to the Florida Keys.
What do you think? I could take the laptop and the camera and fill the blog with wise, whimsical and witty things every day. Properly marketed it could bring in lots of readers (I mean more than the ususal seven) and be supported by lots of ads.
Who can help me make these ideas into plans — and then into reality? I can leave Monday.
For the record I have already been to:

I’ll be happy to volunteer to be your photographer, sherpa, or coffee wrangler.
I say go for the around-the-world tour. I would love to read about it.
I vote for the European tour. Love to see your pictures and read your perspective. Around the world is too risky.
i am game but cannot leave on this Monday. Could we try for Wedsnesday? It is my slowest day at work. Martie
