Until 1994, when I traveled, I'd keep a diary, but it would fizzle out towards the end of the trip. Well I started another trip diary on March 23, 1994; but this time, for some reason, I continued keeping it after I got back home; by now it includes several trips, as well as a lot of other (mostly dull) stuff. The latter I've kept for myself, the former are now on the Web.

So my diary starts with a ten-day business trip to France:
