Boots-n-All: A cool site run by some guys who live out in the West US. It's got loads of tips, stories, and information, and the opportunity to join, and become an "insider," available for advice to people who might be travelling to your neck of the woods...

"It will be so awful, it will be wonderful," by Jet City Jimbo and the Spousal Unit, Suebee: http://jetcityjimbo.com/awful_wonderful/index.shtml
This is one of the best accounts of overland travel I've found. It chronicles the 9 month journey from London to Central Asia, across the Sahara, and through Africa. The account of something like 45 days struggling to get through Zaire is frightfully entertaining...THAT is an accomplishment to envy (though an experience that was rather unpleasant at times...). Check it out, as well as their sequel, all on line.

Blazing A Trail: Another online travel journal, sort of like the one above.

Vagablogging: Rolf Potts, who wrote the great book, "Vagabonding," has a great site as well. A "blog," it's a mix of commentary, stories, pictures, views...very interesting.

Where is Raed? Very interesting "blog" by a guy in Baghdad. Gives an intriguing account of Operation Iraqi Freedom from someone on the other end, inside of Baghdad. Updated daily (though it was down a lot during the war).

Not sure where to put this one...it's a llittle bit travel literature, a little bit information about Afghanistan, and a little bit of ramblings by a guy who seems to have a chip on his shoulder, and a conspiracy theory. It is definitely interesting, though
