heading east transmongolian and then SE Asia, India, Malaysia, Indonesia down to OZ, South and Central America and wish to finish with our family in Chicago - probably broke but incredibly happy ;-) all 18 months we hope ;-) everything that is green on our map is our plan (excl South Africa) ;-) we don't make it obvious cause people at work don't know - only close friends ;-)
How did the budgeting go - I saw some forums you were talking about it?? Reply to this

Budgeting was fine (China & SE Asia) until we hit Australia - ouch! Man that place just ate money!

We found Oz to be expensive food wise also. I think the food was a bout 2 to 3 times higher than here. Reply to this

Congratulations to all of you who have recently resigned. You have an unbelievable adventure ahead of you. We can't wait to read about your travels!
We still remember very clearly the day we turned in our resignations before our around the world trip in 2007. The feeling will stick with you for years, at least it has in our case.
Re-entry into the work world was easy for us when we returned because we are both nurses. We didn't go back to the same jobs but finding employment was not difficult.
Happy Travels everyone. Reply to this

I've been looking for this thread for a couple of hours.
Good News! Handed in my notice today. I gave two months notice. Woo woo.
Gosh darn, it feels good.
We traveled in 2007 & 2008.
Re-entry was tough.
We have dreamed of going again.
And .....now.... we are....
We are heading to Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Shetland Islands, Denmark, Germany, Nepal, Tibet, Ghutan, Myanmar, the Philippines, Hawaii and Cuba.

Hi Nick,
We are both in management and it is the norm and expectation to give 4 weeks. I gave 8 because the position will be hard to fill and I like my co-worker so I want them to have some time to make a plan.
Adios & see you ......some where. Reply to this
