As graduation from UC Davis creeped closer and closer, Stacy and I were not exactly sure what we planned to do with ourselves post- graduation... and then summer rolled on through... all we knew is that it would be something amazing though.
Well after a lot of daydreaming and one random phone call, we decided to team up and see parts of the world we always desired to. Planned destinations so far are: Vietnam (1 month), Thailand (1.5 months), India (2.5 months) and South Africa (undecided)...This could not be a better time to get traveling the world out of our systems!
We want all our family and friends to be able to trail along with us as we see and experience some of the most exhilirating and devastating things yet. We are experience real third-world countries for the first time as well as some of the most exotic destinations in the world!
Since we are both photo freaks we will try to post some shots here and there and i am sure they will be accompanied by MANY crazy stories. Who ever said two girls cannot live out of a backpack for 5 to 8 months?!
So a recap of days leading up to departure...
- three days prior... neither one of us had our passports in possession due to late visa applications (ops!) but that obviously worked out.
- jessie rushed to the SF to get her final visa for india the LAST day possible (friday) AND on the way did she not only get hit from behind entering the freeway in a mad rush, but she got lost for over an hour... continued to call stacy in a panic pretending she was her personal map quest... and finally when she arrived... the embassy of india had stopped accepting applicants for the day a HALF hour prior!! But jessie worked her charm and weaseled her way through two security guards and some others.
- After that fiasco... stacy picked jess up and they headed over to the STA office to pick up tickets and not to mention our travel books to learn a little bit about where we "planned" to spend the next months of our lives!!! haha... who does that?!?
- AND... we departed yesterday? today? ummm anyways, we arrived at the SF airport two hours prior departure time of 1:25am but after chatting over a bottle of red wine we snuck through security we were THE LAST passengers on the plane and everyone was seated... haha at least we made it!
Strapped on the seat belt in the second to last row of the whole freaking, double-decker plane... popped in perscription strength ambiant... 18 hours later of travel we made it to HANOI, VIETNAM!!!
we miss and love you all... In advance,
Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Channukah, Christmas, New Year's (lots of kisses) and who knows what other happy holidays. No worries, we will be sure to keep you updated on our crazy adventures and future plans.
don't miss us too much! Stacy and Jessie xoxo
