Welcome to the Big Leagues.
In case you weren’t already aware, it’s my birthday (+/- 12 hours) somewhere in the world at the time of this inaugural post. I figured what better time to publicly showcase my new blog than on my birthday, when hundreds (if not thousands in this case) of people will inevitably be hitting my facebook page and dutifully acknowledging my “status;” which directed you here.
I invite all of my friends, familiy, and the culturally inspired to follow my adventures in the Middle East over the next two years via this web portal. You’ll be sure to find exciting stories as well as photos showcasing the beauty (and sometimes blight) of this unknown world on a semi-regular basis.

Until then, see the About page for a more detailed repetition of why I’m traveling to Saudi Arabia and PLEASE, comment freely and frequently… as this concept of Freedom of Speech is something I want you to abuse for me during my absence from America.
Cheers,
Eric “ibn Gary” Martin.

Hey Eric!
I heard from Katie that you were going on this adventure! What a lucky Man you are! Good Luck and enjoy everything you do!
My son Chad is going to go to Peru on his adventure he leaves next month with a one way ticket!
It is very interesting to me see the world from the notes and pictures I get from all of the adventures!
My son Ryan has already been to Peru, several Asian countries, Australia New Zealand ,Sweden, and Now is in Germany getting a masters degree in Electrical Engineering! He has been working on ships ever since he started the Maritime school in Vallejo, when he graduated he ended up working on a cruise ship in Hawaii untill he went to Germany!
Hugs,
Carol
