TrailJournals.com - An awesome website about personal hiking accounts. A lot of the people mentioned in Rachael's journal are on there. If you're interested in the trail you can get a really good idea about the variety of adventures and people. You can look up Rachael under 'Roadster'

TrailDawg.com - The website of one of Rachael's friends on the trail who has a friend keeping up his website. there are tons of awesome pictures of the trail, scnery, trail life, etc.

Bootsnall.com - A favorite for planning crazy trips; they've got a great round-the-world planner so you can pick and price flights. Lots of forums, information and sales. Rachael's only complaint is that the tickets she purchased weren't the cheapest possibility.
