First Entry


I've just created this blog and am checking to see if it is going to work. The intention is that while Claire and I are traveling the world we will post entries on this blog to let people know how we are getting on. We will probably still send people personal emails but this site will be where Claire and I will be keeping a comprehensive diary of our experiences.
Flights have been booked. On Tuesday12th of June 2007 we will fly via Heathrow to Rio de Janeiro. We will spend approximately 6 months in South America before flying from Santiago in Chile to Auckland in New Zealand. We will spend another 4-5 months touring NZ and Oz before heading to Asia. Here we will spend 6-8 months, if the money last, travelling though China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, Tibet, and India, before heading home. The whole journey will take approx 18months and cost, after flights, somewhere around 50,000 euro.
