Journal Entries
Here is an direct transcription of my journal, which I succeeded in keeping from our departure on November 18, 1998 all the way through to the shores of Jordan in Aqaba in mid March, 1999. I have inserted commentary throughout the journal, when I thought that something needed further explanation. This is unedited content, so it could be difficult to follow. As time allows, I will add further commentary to the travelogue.
