Wanting to see for myself how much of the Moleskine raves are due to hype,
but wary of reports of bleed-through and similar problems with fountain
pens, I finally read a report that indicated that nib size larger than .6mm
is the culprit. Since I prefer Japanese fines, I eagerly looked for a
Moleskine that would suit me and ordered the City book for San Francisco to
record my notes on my stay there during my last road trip and anything from
prior visits that I remember or have in notes somewhere.

A few months ago, I got a set of Pilot Petit1 pens to use for traveling
thinking that if anything happened to them, I wouldn't be out too much
money. Their cartridges are smaller than the standard Pilot carts, but I can
still easily refill them with ink from my Nalgene drop dispensing bottles
that I use for traveling.

I'm planning on using the black waterproof Noodler's ink for this DIY
guidebook and travel journal, but if I encounter any sort of problem, I can
always switch to the Fisher Space pen that I keep in my car.

It's exciting to anticipate something new to try with my fps and the bonus
is that it's in the name of "organizing"!
