My partner Jools and I are about to embark on a trip to Uzbekistan, Greece, Spain and north-west USA. In due course I will post for each part of the journey under the maps below. I may produce some temporary posts as I go but only if I have sufficient time. Final posts will appear later (and I still have to finish final posts for Cuba and the Caribbean).
Links for summary posts and then final posts will appear under the maps in due course.
