I made my first payment for my hotel in Sydney, Australia this week and will be paying the balance next week.  In my previous post I mentioned I have a new wheelchair for my trip.  I contacted TiLite about sponsorship and although they do not do sponsorship they have offered to provide wheelchair parts, tires, tubes, etc…during my trip.  This a small but good start at getting my adventure noticed.  I notified the vendors I deal with at work that I was leaving and in three days I had over 200 views on my website.  Only 43 days left until I leave!!!!!!
