So, here we are!! Firstly, thanks for taking the time to log on. This obviously means you have nothing better to do right now but that's OK, it's nice to know that you're even slightly interested in the progress of our journey. However, we also know that some of you will be skimming through all the descriptive b*?@!cks in order to see who will win the sweepstake as to whether it's malaria or a shark that's responsible for our first hospitalization. Either way it's good to have you along.
All going well, our journey (which departs on the 11th October '07) will take us across 6 different continents and into at least 14 different countries. We'll be dipping our toes into the Pacific, Atlantic (north & south) and Indian Oceans, visiting numerous famous world landmarks and participating in various personal challenges and some foolish capers.
Our first entry will detail a comprehensive itinerary of when and where we'll (roughly) be throughout the coming year, however, this is obviously subject to change!
Also, for those of you who doubted our, and particularly my, ability to pack a medium sized rucksack for a year's travel, there is a contents list in the first entry of everything we'll be carrying. We'll make no apologies for some of the items that hardened travellers would consider luxuries. After much reading and deliberation we came up with these items which we thought would best aid us throughout the different locations/situations we'll find ourselves in. For some items we've given an explanation, which may or may not be obvious, but we thought some of you would be curious as to why we've taken what we have. Any mistakes in this area, you'll read about in due course.
We'll take this opportunity so say a general fond farewell to all of you that know us and we hope to find you safe and well on our return............
