Our Schedule’s Set!
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, we’ll be visiting 12 countries over 98 days and are set to depart January 1st, 2008. Our flight leaves Seattle at 9:15 AM as Shelly and I toast champagne to bring in the new year and the adventures ahead.
No checked luggage allowed on this trip… we’re taking two small carry-on backpacks so we’re light and mobile. As our packing list and additional details finalize, we’ll provide routine updates for those interested in a similar trip. For now, though, below is the schedule and any notable key activities:
January 1 – 8 Peru (Machu Picchu)
January 9 – 19 Argentina (we heard Buenos Aires is cheap!)
January 20 – 30 France and Italy (get some western culture before “roughing it”)
January 31 – February 7 Egypt (5 day Nile Cruise plus the pyramids)
February 8 – 17 Tanzania/Kenya (7 day tented Serengeti Safari)
February 18 – March 3 India (Taj Mahal, Jaipur, Mysore, and Mumbai)
March 4 -19 Thailand (The beach, Chiang Mai, $10 suits, and $6 massages)
March 20 – 22 Cambodia (Angkor Wat)
March 23 – 31 China (Hong Kong and Beijing to check out the pre-Olympic sites)
April 1 – 7 Japan (Cherry Blossom Festival)
