Our Destinations!

This is just to let people know when and where we are going :-)!!

May 5th
We leave for Australia...Bye bye USA!!

We will be road-tripping along the West Coast of Australia for the next 17 days. We're going from Perth to Darwin (which is about 2500 miles!!) in a Wicked Van, which are these crazy vans that you can rent there. They have a bed and small kitchen in the back. This will be our home on the road!

Next...
We head to Bali, the "Island of the Gods" for a few days of relaxing on the beach...maybe learning to surf???

Then...
Bali to Singapore for more of a city experiance.

Next Stop...
Singapore to Thailand

For the next month we will be doing a combination of traveling and volunteering in Thailand . Our volunteer work will be working to improve schools and children's homes as well as in a community farm.

Last Destination in Asia...
Bangkok to Veitnam

What we have planned so far in Vietnam is a seven day tour of Northern Vietnam that includes sleeping on a junk boat in Ha Long Bay (supposedly an amazing and beautiful place!), hiking up into remote villages, taking their overnight trains and more...should be pretty amazing!

Europe here we come...
Hanoi to Athens
This is a long journey to get from Asia to Europe. We have a stopover in Thailand and in Doha.

In Greece, we plan to spend a few days in Athens and then head out to the islands!

Next...
Athens to Paris
In France, we are meeting up with some friends who live there so they can show us around!

Back Home...
We have a stopover in London then head home, probably tired, dirty, hungry, and broke; but absolutely glowing from the trip of a lifetime.

Preparations

It is now down to 55 days before we leave! There has been a lot of planning going on. Everyday I have the trip in the back of my mind and it keeps a constant smile on my face. I am testing out blogging from my iPhone to see how that goes. That way it will be easy to keep things updating while on the road!
