It is as simple as that ;-) 30.09.2011 we embarked on the trip of our lives ;-) in 2007 we got inspired by our friends (Monique and Nigel who constantly travel and have been on the RTW) and since then we have been thinking about it all the time.

northern Argentina
Hi B & T, I´m in northern Argentina where it´s getting pretty hot and my visa is running out. Not sure if Bolivia, northern Chile or Peru is next, but I hope to find a room for the touristy month of January and hide out (and catch up on blogs). I think these plus Ecuador are where I´ll be for the next year. Do hope we meet!
