TRAVEL
Around
the World in 12 Issues
1. FIRST ISSUE
June
2002 - UK to Peru
 This
is the first issue of JAB produced on the move, using
I-net cafes. After a few days in Lima, JAB moved down
the coast to Pisco, and over the Andes to Nazca before
renting an apartment in Cusco with a view of the mountains.
The
physical part of JAB is the laptop; this delicate piece
of equipment, which we call Mr Benn, has already crossed
mountains and deserts, flown in a light aircraft and ventured
into a speedboat to view seals and seabirds in the Pacific
Ocean.
Unfortunately,
such was our rush to move flat and pack our rucksacks,
Mr Benn lacked vital pieces of equipment for his trip
and until fairly recently we have had difficulty accessing
the web and no way to collect our main email. This has
limited our activities some what and created a backlog
of site work to do and emails to answer.
 But
thanks to help from our neighbours Cusco Weekly we are
able to get JAB out this month, receive emails and work
on the site. The only thing we can't do is send email
but we should have that problem solved shortly.
Cusco
Weekly, by the way, is a new weekly English language local
paper for Cusco and Peru. Their website at www.cuscoweekly.com
is worth a look if you are headed this way or merely want
to find out more about our new home town. Another of our
neighbours, South American Explorers (where Deirdre is
helping out voluntarily), kindly lets us use their facilities
which includes advice, trip reports, maps, guidebooks
and discounts. More info about SAE can be found at www.saexplorers.com
 We
need to make some money to finance the trip. This website
is in effect our working holiday so please forgive us
if the site and JAB contains a few more commercial areas
and advertisements than previously. We are not going to
go money mad though and will only accept advertising from
organisations that offer genuinely useful services to
travellers and those intent on working abroad.
We
hope our experiences make PAYAway a better website and
JAB a better newsletter. The tips passed on to us by the
many travellers we have already met and will meet will
be passed on to you via these pages and in JAB.
Thanks
again to everyone who has wished us luck. And continued
thanks to Columbus Direct and Catch 22 who are helping
with our trip.
