Entry 2 of 64 | show all | print this entry

In one week we leave on our big trip. The last couple of weeks have been so chaotic hardly any time has been spent spinning out on what we are about to do. We are now unemployed and our house is empty (we still have the huge mortgage though). So to say our lives are in a spin is an understatment.
Short Itinery:
Our first stop will be a short one in Malaysia for 4 days before heading to South Africa for 4 weeks. Then on to Dubai to meet our friends Shane and Kate for a few days.
From there its off to Egypt for a two week tour across the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea.
This will take up to June so it will be time to head up to Europe where we will be touring around for the next four months. Meeting up with Mick and OJ for a month at the start and Mum's coming over in September.
Come October we have a change of pace and cross the Atlantic to Mexico for 3 weeks before flying further south to Costa Rica for 4 more weeks.
By this time it will be late November.... what better time is there to be in Las Vegas for a tacky Vegas wedding with an Elvis impersonater.
We then fly to San Francisco and drive the coast down to Los Angeles then sart our trip home across the Pacific. Luckily we have got time for one more stop.....Fiji for 5 days.
So our last flight will take all of 3 hours to arrive home a couple of days before Christmas.

So there it is in less than half a page. Sounds like fun doesn't it? You can tag along via this blog if you want, just add us to your favourites and check in from time to time to see what we have been up to....

Malaysia here we come....wooohooo
