Happy New Year!

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Hi everyone,
It’s Shelly. We are 1 flight into our around the world adventure (Seattle to JFK). So far, so good. We’re currently in the International VIP Lounge enjoying some complimentary vino. We each made very democratic decisions about our final American meal before hitting the international skies: Sbarro’s pizza for Nate & McDonald’s for Shelly 🙂

We just got the great news that our friend Nikki (of ‘Clash of the Choirs’ fame) may be making a last-minute ticket purchase to Buenos Aires to celebrate her birthday with us south-of-the-border style….WAY SOUTH! We are keeping our fingers crossed that she’ll make it work and get there to meet us next week.

Happy New Year to everyone and best wishes for a great 2008!

I hope this is the last itinerary change…

This is Shelly (doing my very first blog post). I hijacked Nate’s blog password to give you an update on a late-breaking development. After Nate’s visit to the City of Love last weekend, Paris has now been added to our trip itinerary. Unfortunately, that means that Spain was kicked off except for a short layover in the Madrid airport after our 12+ hour trip from Buenos Aires before hopping over to Paris. Those crepes better be really good to make up for the tapas and vino I had envisioned in Spain…not to mention the fact that I will not be excited to get on another airplane after that long haul. Stay tuned to see how it goes. For those that care about these things, we have up to 16 flight segments through the OneWorld Explorer around the world ticket, so the flight to Paris now puts us at exactly 16. PS–I just figured out how to upload a picture. Here’s one from Nate’s trip.

Vaccinations… check! Visas… check! 25 days to go!

O.k., so I've been very bad about updating our RTW blog. Our last post was in May and I thought it was time to get some fresh material on the blog. Especially since Shelly sent out Christmas cards ... [Continue reading this entry]

After 6 months and 60+ itinerary variations, our 2008 around the world schedule is finally set! We booked our primary flights using a OneWorld Explorer fare and the off-network/regional flights will be booked during the trip. In total, ... [Continue reading this entry]
