So we are six days away from embarking on our world trip, and have decided it might be wise to test the waters and check that this travelblog actually works before relying on it to be our only point of contact with all of our beloveds back at home (or in France, or New Zealand/Canada/Colorado etc, you know who you are).
The last few months have been pretty hectic for us with Luke working practically a million hours a week in a restaurant as well as holding down a full time job, and Katie working full time and stressing out planning the trip the rest of the time- which unfortunately is still nowhere nearly finished. We have come to the conclusion that perhaps planning for 'hangover days' is possibly a little excessive, and Luke has insisted that we should at least attempt to pretend to play it by ear. We wouldn't look very 'cool' should other backpackers lay their hands on our regimented itinerary.
Over the past week Katie sadly left PST where she has worked for the past year, and Luke left his job at the restaurant which he wasn't so sad about. He has decided that a
career in catering is far too much like hard work, and is very much looking forward to the life of unemployment to which he had become very well accustomed to throughout his student years. He is counting down the hours until he can once more spend the day sitting around drinking beer.
We have had to say a number of goodbyes over the past few weeks which have been a bit upsetting and have made the whole trip finally seem real. Up until now it has been something in the distant future, and now all of a sudden it has just come around. But obviously we are very excited as well! Sorry we haven't been very good at taking the camera out with us/ actually taking pictures at goodbye drinks etc, but we promise we will be taking LOTS more once we are actually away. So apologies if you are not on the pictures we have added to this entry, they are just some random shots off Kate's camera to make this entry more interesting.
Well we don’t want to keep you all in the dark..
If by now you haven’t switched off, and unsubscribed yourselves, well you
might do in a minute! Here is the boring informative stuff about all of the countries we are planning to visit, which no doubt you will have heard us talking about. Hopefully you will enjoy watching us attempt to travel the world in style.
A rough guide of where we plan to visit:
• Mexico
• Ecuador
• Peru
• Bolivia
• Brazil
• Paraguay
• Uruguay
• Argentina
• Australia
• Singapore
• Malaysia
• Philippines
• China
• Vietnam
• Cambodia
• Laos
• Thailand
• Indonesia
Well next time you hear from us we will be in the (hopefully sunny) Mexico, Playa del Carmen.
Lots of love xxx

goodbye
Hope you have a wicked time. I can't believe its come round so quickly, my time in NZ must nearly be over. Just trying to change my flights to leave next month ready for my next winter. I'm jealous your both following the sun for over a year. I will try and ring this week to get hold on you before you leave, maybe we could do a skype test with video cam. xxxx
