Route Map

---

So here's our first blog and a map showing our route (which certainly could have been organised with less airmiles if BA flew directly between every country we wanted to visit).

Day one of the trip didn't start too well when the check-in attendant asked if we had Australian passports as we didn't have visas for our UK passports...fortunately after a quick call and £30 each, she managed to arrange one. Even better news was that the visa person decided we should be upgraded to business class; hopefully Stacy's Gold BA Exec card will have the same effect everywhere we go.
