I thought I would start a blog to record my trip planning. Also to provide a site where people can view my trip diary and photos. I'm just really playing around with this to see how it works.
My blog name is faulty travels for no reason other than it sprang to mind when I was asked for a name. It just seems right - I don't expect my travels to be faultless.
I guess I have been buying books on Italy and Tuscany for about 10 years. I can remember when I was contemplating my future at the City of Melbourne dreaming about travel to Tuscany helped to distract me from the monotony of my life at the time and the uncertainty of my future. I still have the Lonely Planet Guide to Italy and the Rough Guide to Tuscany and Umbria purchased about 1995 and they are both helpful with planning. In fact I think I will take the Rough Guide with me.
Anyway since moving to Beechworth in 1997 I have been on 2 overseas trips - to Eastern Europe in 2001 and to Canada to attend Shannon and Derek's wedding in 2002.
I have been lurking and posting on the Italy forum of the Slow Travel website since about mid 2005.
Some of the other forums I have used to plan this trip are:
Trip Advisor
Fodors Europe forum
Rick Steve's graffiti wall
