While I have been saving my report of that journey for rainy day blogging, here now I must remember the great merriment shared with Kent, while also acknowledging that seeing his daily blogging in action was indeed the inspiration for Beth and I to start this site. Kent is a senior editor of the well-established Go Nomad site while also lending his considerable talents to the world of travel radio. As the photo shows, he is fond of living out his Viking fantasies while on the road. If you visit his site and see his post of today, you will also note the corpulent fellow next to Abba number five; while I cannot deny that is me, I can assure you that I am slimmer by far today.

Kent St. Viking
OK - it's now gone from egregious to obscene--the faithful updating, of course. Who better then to get things back online than the very pater nostra of this humble site, travel maven Kent St. John? Kent and I first met in the customs line at Keflavik Airport in Iceland this past May, the commencement of a week-long trip through southern Sweden and southern Finland together.

Kent St. John, indeed. I was born in Kent in England, and the local place of priests was St. John's, which dates back to the 12th century, just old enough to perhaps have felt a fear for the wrath of Norseman. I hope gonomads, or gnomads, as I think they shuld be called, now travel in peace, rather than hack the rest of us to pieces. That reminds me of the old joke about Saddam Hussain: "Of course, Saddam wants peace...he wants a piece of Kuwait, a piece of Kurdistan, a piece..."
I too have been a lazy blogger as of late, but I just posted one on http://allhallovians.blogspot.com
It's about time we had an update on the wonderful Trippin' the Love Fantastic, wouldn't you say? I did one...http://allhallovians.blogspot.com
