The Plan

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Our plan is a bit dependent upon when our house sells, which will determine when we leave. But, if all goes as scheduled & we depart this fall this is our plan:

New Zealand/ Australia – 2-3 Months

Bali – 2 weeks

SE Asia – 2 months

India /Nepal – 2 months

Africa – 6mths

South America – 3-4 months.

We are only booking the air to New Zealand to start so will be loose & fancy free so this is a rough plan, to be sure. Right now the big challenge is finding a place to board our horse & goat, find storage space, get shots and, oh yea…sell the house!

Jim’s sister Wendy is a realtor so she is on the case and hopefully will all go quickly. If so we’ll put most things in storage & shack up in an appartment for a few months, finalizing shots & planning and saving even more money.

We’re actually doing it!

Well, 2 years after this blog started we are actually finalizing everyting we need to do to leave on our RTW. Poor Sophie went to doggie heaven last fall and we have since been getting our place in order. It goes on the market on 10May!

Our first round of shots starts on May 2 and we have a consultation for lasik surgery the week after. God willing, the house will sell quickly, we’ll get all of our medical in line & we’ll be leaving sometime around October.

Since our last entry we’ve been to Europe twice (Prague/ danube cruise ending up in Budapest, and Spain) and Mexico twice (Playa del Carmen & Puerto Vallarta) with lots of weekends in Vancouver, BC, Seattle, Oregon coast, & camping mixed in.  But we CANNOT wait to embark on our RTW after years of talking about it.
