One should be careful

when one makes vows. I should have checked the map more closely or been better at geography. Knew that I would be making some side trips and sometimes moving up, down, back, forth. So what should my blog have been? "Trip in which I vow to Mainly fly East", or "Trip in which I vow to Sometimes" fly East", or "Trip in which I vow to Move in a basically Easterly Direction". Or perhaps "Trip in which I vow to "go in any direction but at the end will have moved eastward around the world". Very hard to say what would have been the more catchy title. Needless to say, I am moving in all directions. Today we went southeast and then back towards the west to end up in Krakow. But it was by train so maybe it doesn't count as not closely following the vow. Can't use that excuse later when I move totally west to get to Prague and then south to get to Venice. Then I use Istanbul several times as a base to go East to Uzbekistan and then west back to Istanbul then a different direction to get the Ukraine and then back to Istanbul. After that though, it's pretty much east, well, mainly east, well, still a couple of backtracks as I don't have the entire thing finished yet. In the end though, I will have circumnavigated the globe and that was the original intent. OH, how about "trip in which I vow to circumnavigate the globe". That would have been best.
