Where to Travel Next?
Chaya, Petra, and I should be leaving Western New York for Bangor, Maine tomorrow morning. We have begun our travels with our baby: going from Maine to Arizona, and then back across the country by car to New York, New Jersey, Brooklyn, then back to Western New York.
Petra is now five months old, we are getting into this journey. We are traveling.
Next Move?
Traveling with a baby means a new set of travel parameters.
Read, Where to Travel with a Baby
The candidates for our first journey outside of the USA with Petra are Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Indonesia, or China. February 3rd is our launch date. We are going to purchase tickets tomorrow morning. If you have any suggestions, please place a comment on http://www.vagabondjourney.com/travelogue/where-to-travel-with-a-baby/
We welcome all suggestions, especially if they are not the countries listed above. Please tell us why a certain location of the world would be good to travel with a baby, or, better yet, post a response on the community forum at, http://www.vagabondjourney.com/forum/traveling-with-baby/recommendations-for-easy-places-to-travel-with-a-baby/
Thank you!
The next newsletter should come right before we depart for Petra's first international travels.

New Travel Resources on Vagabond Journey.com
In an attempt to publish more defacto -- on the ground -- travel information, I recently put up three new sections on Vagabond Journey.com. The first is a Travel Community Forum -- a place to plan your travels and assist other travelers on their journeys. The second section is a travel guide that functions on Wiki principles. You can upload your travel tips, ways to save money, and information on world wide low budget travel. Visit Wiki Vagabond. The third new section is a collection of World Travel Guides. This section is still in its infancy, but will be built up further as myself and other travelers continue to upload information to it.
Please help Vagabond Journey.com grow by contributing a little information to each of these new sections. They all rely on user submitted content to grow, so we need your help!

Money
Our money situation is stable. I worked for six months around the USA and saved up a decent cache of travel funds. Vagabondjourney.com is now beginning to make money, so we now have a modest check coming in every month from this project. But as the site grows so does its maintenance costs. We need to move to a new server, the site has grown beyond the capacity of its old host. To keep vagabondjourney.com up it is now going to cost 10 times the amount of money that it once did.
To curb these rising costs, we began a T-shirt fund raiser. Please donate $20 an buy a Vagabond Journey shirt! To buy a t-shirt go to http://www.vagabondjourney.com/press-release-vagabond-journey-com-t-shirt-fund-raiser/
Thank you.

I would also like to thank all readers for your support over the years. I could not have continued this website over the years without all of our encouragement, suggestions, and help.
I thank you.
