“One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.”(Henry Miller)
We’re nearly there….after travelling in Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Burma and Laos we’ve booked our flights for our next big adventure through Thailand, Vietnam, India, and Nepal!
Last week we visited the travel doctor and to Luke’s great relief he only had one needle (because he was so young when we travelled to Africa he needed to catch up on all of the Rabies and Heb A, B and other shots when we travelled last time and felt like a bit of a pin cushion.
We’re still working through our itinerary and trying to see the best way to cover all that we want to do as well as arriving in the right place at the right time (when it’s important…like for pre-booked flights!). We also need to arrange our visa’s, book some more flights, buy some new sleeping bags and supplies and work out how to use the Indian Railway online booking system.
Our last trip was something none of us will ever forget and this time we’re away for more than double the time and have some very exciting things planned from the Mekong Delta to a camel safari in Rajastan to a home stay in Kathmandu, Nepal.
We head off on 28th February 09 and will be away for just under three months and we can’t wait. Take a look at what’s ahead of us.
