I listened to the PBP Podcast (http://www.practicalbackpacking.com/audio/pbpodcast/PBP-42_Walking-the-Amazon.mp3) interview last year. #42 Walking the Amazon. Interesting.

Imagine an iPhone with $5,000/month roaming charges (http://www.arcdesignconsulting.com/iphone_horror.html) for 28 months... $140,000!! Actually, his bandwidth was covered by sponsors to help him blog during his trip.

Personally, I think with all the sponsors and money spent over 2 years, I can think of alot of other trails I would have done instead.
