...travel starts soon.
wow I feel like a bum, we're planning on about $20K (cnd) for a year and a half, we are planning on doing some of the poorer countries though but still. sheeshkabob I hope we don't run out!! wind up working on the islands in Thailand handing out hotel coupons and trying to get people to come to clubs lol!
Reply to this A belated congratulations to Chris on taking the plunge.. you will have the best time and won't look back.
We are coming the opposite way now and come back to the UK in Feb after 20 months away, we have the joys of job hunting to look forward to which will be awful... we don't mind the work part but both hate what you have to go through to get there :o(
Hope you have an amazing trip and we'll look forward to reading all about it when we're sitting at our desks!
Reply to this Many thanks. I've been reading your blog - looks like you've had an amazing time!
I suppose the thought of returning to the rat race is a little depressing. Can't even contemplate that thought yet - but it'll happen to me too eventually. Still, enjoy yourselves while it lasts.
Reply to this Congratulations Chris, I've also just handed in my notice and we'll hopefully be leaving in April, providing we can rent our house :o)
Looking forward to reading your blog!
Reply to this I forgot to do this the day of but...
I handed in my notice last week!!! something like 18 days left of work (not including days off)!!
and then in 40 days, HELLO THAILAND!!
Reply to this ahh don't worry too much appro, the time will fly by!! it feels like we just bought our tickets yesterday (that was 2 months ago)
Reply to this I don't do patience very well, hehe.
I hope you both have a great time.
Reply to this Before you go to the US, go to the individual state government pages. I know that with Montana you can get a letter from the governor with all kinds of coupons to use in different places throughout the state. If you get to this area - let me know and I will point out some of the better places.
Reply to this yea I know what you mean, I'm counting down now, 38 days until take off. I get these daily rolls of excitement where I feel like I'm about to burst haha. I just keeping telling myself soon enough, soon enough. have to deal with the dull to get to the excitement!! you probably posted already appro but where's your first stop?
Reply to this First stop is China, then on to SE Asia, OZ, NZ, & USA.
Reply to this hey we'll probably wind up crossing paths at one point!! we're working our way from Thailand into China!!
Reply to this I think we're looking at crossing the border in mid-July.
it's Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Laos, Thailand, onwards. I think a month per country (hopefully more for China but I'll take what I can get)
Reply to this Sounds cool. We may cross paths at some point as we'll be in Asia for 5 months. All the best.
