I spent over $100 on MAPs for the planning stage of the trip today. Google maps is awesome, but I might not have Internet access for long parts of the trip. Much as I love technology, when it fails generally you’re shafted. There’s no substitute for a good map and compass. (Hmm, next thing I need is a compass then!).

Guess what. Spend over $100 on Maps and you get ……. A free MAP!!!! (Of Australia. Great!).

Now to plan the whole extravaganza.
