The Honeymoon From Hell. Stefan and Erika Svanstrom had planned a long trip that would start in Singapore in early December and end in China four months later.
But things didn't go exactly as planned. They encountered floods, fires, tsunamis and earthquakes along the way.

The Green Tunnel is a six month hike up the Appalacian Trail in a five minute time-lapse video. Though the time-lapse road trip, usually with ambient music, is an overdone genre
(except for Michael Gondry's), other time-lapse travel videos can still be interesting: a year long
walk through China focusing on beard growth, a
visually great (but faked) stop motion walk across America, a
boat ride through the Panama Canal,a tilt-shift
roadtrip,
and the space shuttle Discovery being transported and launched. And, of course,
Minecraft in time-lapse.
Previously and

Roadside Architecture. "I have been passionate about commercial architecture and roadside related things all my life. I grew up in California but New York City has been my home since 1980. I started this website in 2000 simply as a way to organize my own photos. Since then, it has become a bit of an obsession and grown to well over 1,000 pages."

Fueled by Rice - Five recent grads from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's Unviersity recently set off from Beijing to
bike across Asia and Europe. The
goal of their bike trip is to spread international good will on the local level and advocate reducing carbon emissions and living slower-paced, more enjoyable lives. Along the way they will bike through rural areas and play
music in villages. As they travel, the group is posting
photos, a
blog, and will attempt to get a podcast up and running. They've even got the site up in
Chinese, though the site
seems to be blocked for most folks in China.

The 1919 Transcontinental Motor Convoy — Take a
28 year old future
U.S. President on a two month long, 3,251 mile, transcontinental
road trip (where relatively
few have gone before). Wait while he shoulders a little
responsibility, add some
autobahn^ envy, and 37 years later he
signs into law over 40,000 miles of the
National Defense Highway System (later
renamed: it recently passed
50 years of growth.) About his
favorite domestic program, Ike said, "
More than any single action by the government since the end of the war, this one would change the face of America. ...Its impact on the American economy - the jobs it would produce in manufacturing and construction, the rural areas it would open up - was beyond calculation." More documents, logs, and first-hand reports from the 1919 convoy
here.

Southwest: an exquisite gallery of photos by three friends on the road, including shots of
Bryce,
Antelope, and
The Wave. The web has done wonderful things to that old phenomenon of vacation photos.
