Hello all,

I just wanted to update the travelogue by saying that, even though I was supposed to departure for my RTW the 30th of January 2004, some minor paper work and bureaucratic issues will delay my trip. Hopefully, it shouldn't take more than a month or so to get sorted out, but when it comes to paper work you really cannot tell for sure.

So that's it. All my trip preparations are done, and as soon as all these minor holdbacks are taken care of, I will grab the first flight to Istambul where my travels will start.

Cheers,

-HECTOR-
