Japan is the last place to visit in our current itinerary. I say current itinerary because, although we have a plan as to where we want to go, the itinerary is certainly subject to change. A plan is only necessary to know what we are deviating from should we change our mind.  Japan is expensive. […]

Indonesia is a country of 17,000 islands! Of which we plan on visiting 5…maybe. Bali is the main reason for visiting Indonesia. A small island that, although it has grown in popularity, is still laid back and relaxed. There is Kuta in the south leading to the Bukit Peninsula which houses the luxurious tourist resorts […]

It’s getting harder and harder to develop itineraries. It’s hard to think of being in Vietnam one year from now when we’ll be in Peru in 5 weeks! And so our plan is pretty loose. We’ll spend about three weeks here but will have to keep on the move as we plan on seeing the country […]

Of all the countries we’re planning on visiting, I think Laos is the most ‘off the beaten track’. Having only been open to tourism for 20 years, it’s not a huge tourist destination but those that have been seem to fall in love with it, and the people.  We’ll start by crossing from Northern Thailand […]

We come into Thailand after India. As I’m unsure of how I will feel about India, I’ve designed the Thailand itinerary to allow for some decompression which is, I’m told, what Thailand is all about. We plan for 5-6 weeks here so there is plenty of time to settle in and to move around. We’ll […]

With only 3 weeks to spend in Germany, we will have to be selective in what we see in order to travel at a relaxed pace, see some urban and country sights, and to include some family visiting in too. Although we haven’t firmed up plans with family connections yet our hope is that our, […]

As South America is our first stop, it has been easier to develop an itinerary for.  Being there next summer makes it within reach and, therefore, easier to imagine a plan for. Now for the caveat…although we have an itinerary, and a general sense of where we might be when, we are also open to […]

Well, that’s the big question isn’t it? Where will we go? The world is a big space and, even given a year to travel, we can’t see it all. As much as traveling the world is supposed to be a serendipitous adventure, for us, there still must be a rough itinerary that blocks out where […]
