  • 30 Days till Buenos Aires!

    Thirty more days till I leave safety of the US. I want to be able to blog about my experiences, but I *still* haven't found a way to do it on the road. It looks like I'm going to be typing on JC's Treo, and then uploading when I get to an internet cafe. It's a cumbersome process, but

    It also looks like we're only going to be gone till September. JC's a Groomsman, cousin is getting hitched in October, and helping out on the campaign trail for the 08 elections sounds pretty exciting. November - Jan would be slow season for getting back into the workforce.

    That leaves only 8 months of traveling. We are budgeting 2 months per continent. Our *rough* itinerary is as follows:

    First Leg:
    Argentina - Buenos Aires
    Argentina - Patagonia
    Chile - Santiago
    Chile - Easter Island
    Peru
    Brazil
    Ecuador

    Second Leg:
    Morocco
    Portugal
    Spain
    France
    Switzerland
    Italy
    Turkey
    ...
    ...

    Yeah, we haven't done much planning after South America. I hope we have enough research done before we go. I imagine it won't be too convenient to do the research when we get there. We're all for being spontaneous, but we'll need to balance that with knowing where we're going.

    I really can't wait.
