Travel Tales: Revisited.


Alright, here's the deal. Contrary to my own assertions prior to last year's epic Fabulous Tour of the Universe TM, I neglected to keep a travel blog, and in doing so, probably robbed myself of precious memories that will last a lifetime and create joy and laughter and tears and bla bla bla. But instead of licking my wounds and mourning the failure to provide adequate memories for my grandchildren, I've discovered another way, thanks to the joys of modern technology and this fabulous new phenomenon we love to hate, known as social media.

Last year, my little piece of adorable joy called my iPhone and I spent every waking (and honestly, sleeping) moment together. I also spent a considerable amount of travel time on the Neverending Wifi Hunt and the Inevitable Password Ask at bars, restaurants, public plazas, hostels and even private homes. This meant I managed to use a handy app called Foursquare to record many of my movements - and record them for posterity. Add to that my iPhone calendar telling me where I was every day and, lo and behold - MEMORIES!

Some dude called Abe who created some app thingy is now emailing me daily telling me where I was one year ago to the day. I'm taking those emails and revisiting memories. If you were lucky enough to be there with me, you'll get tagged. And that, my darling loves, is my new fashioned travel blog for 2012. So buckle up. It's Fabulous Tour of the Universe ,TM.
