Yah, I'm not happy with the costs of international travel myself. I know lots of folks who "want to go to Australia", but in the three years I've been here, only five of my friends have actually managed to visit me (and one other made it to a conference on the mainland, but wasn't able to get to Tassie).
I'm enjoying the geology blogs myself, didn't discover them till after I joined livejournal. I was bored one afternoon, so clicked upon some of my obscure geology-terms in my "interest" list to see who else likes them. tectonite's user pic (a lovely thin-section photo of a deformed garnet) caught my eye, so I clicked on her profile, and enjoyed reading some of her posts here, so sent her a note. She wrote back saying that these days she isn't using LJ as much, because geologists seem to blog instead (her's is "All my Faults are Stress Related--one of my favourites), and pointed me to the geology blog feed that "Allego by Chris" set up.
