Great photos I'm in Amasra Turkey right now on a drive from Istanbul along the Black Sea Coast to Trabzon. Was very much impressed by your photos. Just beautiful!
Big Country Your photos bring a sense of the country, so thanks for sharing. One question: Can you grow potatoes there?
:-)
All the best on your continued journey.
I remember... Hey guys!
great photos - it brings back so many memories. Great food, the smoggy skyline, the amazing mosques.
How are the salesmen? Are you getting harrassed and did you have to negotiate the prices of entrees and desserts while ordering them ? =)
Have you gone to the Grand Baazar yet or rug viewing/shopping?

How do I get on a mailing list here? Hey guys - I dont know if you have set up a mailing list this time, but I would love to follow you on your journey...and dream.....Humid, Toronto is the same yuck!
I hope you guys have a great time....I'm sure you will. Be Safe...watch out for Gypsys ; -) And I hope to see you soon (whenever you get back) : -)
Istanbul scenes Guys -
Your photos and commentary make a nice diversion from staring out across the high plains, 30 miles east of Denver. I expect to be home before you are decently on your way - even if only for a week. Good luck, and keep up the travelogue.
3 months! Wow! 3 months on the road from Istanbul to Xian. Is that all with the travel group? I am jealous. Safe travels.
Btw, I like that traveling style. Out in the morning, back after lunch. Out again late afternoon. We need not "suffer" on holidays!
Hi Hi Kathy -enjoying living vicariously through your blog. China is high at the top of my travel list so I am poking forward to hearing your impressions!
Enjoy and travel well!
Wow! I've been following the blog and just have to comment on the fantastic pictures you are getting. I can already see another book coming out of this trip!!!
Great start Glad to see you got away OK, sometimes that is the biggest challenge. I'm looking forward (immensely) to your blogs. Keep Safe and Have Fun

WOW! What a ride! Great to see you are having a great time! Thanks for all the great pictures, I feel like I am there...sort of...except for the early morning wake ups!! That is tough..reminds me of my life as a flight attendant!! Looking forward to your next blog, all the best and safe travels!
Feeling very jealous .... ..... I can't believe you are off on another big trip so soon! Shame we can't join you again on this one. Have a fab time, congrats on getting married and I look forward to following the blog. Take care, Byron
Vienna is a great place to travel with. Vienna is a great place to travel with. I wish to be there someday somehow. At your sneak peak pictures that has been posted. It looks like it is a very nice place. :-)
Clean pictures very relaxing. Wish to be there asap. :)
health tips I have a friend in Shanghai, and she says take along really good masks, as the air in many Chinese cities is not breathable. Also, she got very sick--a lung infection, no surprise--and had to come back to US because they only had one kind of antibiotics, so take along some. Also, in any 3rd world country, needles tend to be reused, but you can buy any drug you need OTC. Stop and buy a few insulin syringes (usually come in pack of ten) and 3cc which is what you would need if you got sick. If you should have any need for a shot, that will save you a lot of grief. If crossing borders with them might be a problem, they are cheap and I'm sure you could ditch them and buy more. Do NOT bring back to US. Also, most Asian countries the pharmacists do the prescribing and are well-trained, often in London, so if you have any concerns, that is always a possible source of help. As to water relate illnesses, a couple drops of bleach, disinfects a whole gallon. You can also carry along really good filters, and that gets rid of the rest. Nightsoil is commonly used to grow food in China, so beware.
Goodbye! Hey Jordan and Kathie,
I just wanted to say again have a wonderful trip. I am looking forward to reading your blog and seeing all your amazing pictures.
Love your cuz Julie :)
What you're bringing A few suggestions, based on the picture:
Ditch the flip-flops. Not only will they be available there, they're poor choices for footwear in 3rd world places.
Ditto on the playing cards, spare paper, etc.
DO take the ThermaRest 3-season. You'll be glad you did. Be sure to get a patch kit (in case) and one for each of you.
Scan the book stuff in and save it as a Google document (to go along with your gmail account, another real lifesaver at times.) Then keep any truly essential pages with you, but ditch all the heavy, bulky books.
Cut the clothing in half, then remove the stuff that isn't technical, essential. (If you need climbing shorts, you need climbing shorts and probably can't buy that sort of thing in a 3rd world country.) Most everything else is available where you're going, and will be far cheaper than the baggage costs.
Every time I go, I learn how much less I really needed to have carried with me.
ENJOY! Happy honeymoon!

Hi!
Welcome to our travelblog page. We initally called ourselves "AfricaBound" because we spent a year traveling around Africa from August 2007 to August 2008. At that time, little did we even think that we could go on another extended trip. Somehow through much perseverance and determination we were able to save up for yet another extended trip, this time as sort of a honeymoon. Our current itinerary has us traveling from July 2010 until December 2011 through Central Asia, China, New Zealand, Australia and then back up to SE Asia, Nepal, India and then finally Japan.
