Did I mention that SlowTrav is going to be mentioned in the New York Times Practical Traveler on August 24?
And that is the "thing that happens just before a trip." Just before every long trip (more than a month), something happens. Something happens that we have to take care of before we leave - spend days taking care of it. This is the thing for this trip (at least I hope it is).
My panic is that I have to get SlowTrav and SlowTalk in better shape before the thousands of new visitors :) hit the site after the article comes out. And I have to get it done this week, so the web site has a week to "settle" before the article. For example, tonight I broke the classified ads system - don't know what I did, don't know how I did it. Now Chris has to go fix it. If I was messing with all this the day before the article, I could break the site on its most important day!!
So a few more days of working on SlowTrav and SlowTalk and then I declare myself finished and get back to getting ready for the trip.
