Part 2 of my world travels

a trip by Jannet Abigail Ricketts
From: June 7th 2011
Until: November 26th 2011

The brief version of my trip ahead. I fly to St Petersberg to get on a 20 day trip on the Trans Mongolian train , which takes me across Russia then through Mongolia to its final destination Beijing in China. There I will endevour to travel overland to Singapore (route not totally finalised) and I have 3 months to do so. From Singapore I fly to Perth where I will spend 1 week and then via Sydney onto Christchurch in New Zealand where I will spend 2 months and then fly out of Aukland and home via Los Angeles. Phew! I have 6 months to do it in which is more than enough time and I think a trip of a life time ahead of me.
