If you'd like to help with my trip it's now reeeeeeal easy. See the Google Ads links on this page? On the main page you'll find them in the left column, above the "hospitality links". Each time to visit my site it helps me a LOT just by clicking on one or two of the links you might find interesting before you leave. That's all. If enough people visit them I'll actually get a check one day for it. Easy as that!

Updated 7/20: Only 9 of you actually clicked on the links. Is it too much to ask?

While you're at it, there's another site that you can help out just by clicking on a link. It's called The Hunger Site. Every time you click someone gets to eat.

Okay Jim, here it is, your first CHALLENGE! I see from your planned itinerary that you'll be swinging by Naples, Florida, quite soon. I have a great old mate who lives in Naples, and it would be great if you would shout him a cold beer, from me. You know I am penniless, but in exchange for a photo of you and my mate Steve sharing a beer, I will send you a copy of my latest book, and another one to him.

I will email you his phone number and will wait to see if you accept the challenge.

I hope this is just the first of many such challenges that your readers set for you in your travels, and that others will be able to reward you with what you need most; cash!

Cheers,
Steve

Make that TEN people who have clicked on your sponsors links, Jim. I figured I could spare the two or three seconds it takes. But don't despair; I'm slowly learning that human beings are an incredibly lazy bunch. Even though you obviously brighten the lives of many people with your online journey, it doesn't surprise me that 99% of those readers couldn't be bothered to click on your ad links, even though it costs them nothing.
