Let's-Not yet-Shot

Here we are all excited to get going but, still two months to go or should we say, "only" two months to go.
'T is the general feeling we're residing in, from can't wait to leave to Oh my God is it really so soon.

We went to the doctor again yesterday have another appointment in two weeks then in two weeks ....
another vaccine then another then a repetition of the first then another and another...
Each time we get a shot the next day seems like a day we shouldn't have been awake and why cant we winter sleep in June, then we hit the internet to continue planning Australia or China and we get all excited again and we wanna leave but we're not ready, but we can't wait.

Let these worries be my every day worries for the rest of my days!

Luxury Problems !

Getting ready to do a one year trip isn't as easy as it seems.
Getting a round the world ticket is one thing but, actually finalising the itinerary is something else.
We are still planning, changing, wondering how and where we should go. 
The good thing is that nothing is definite until the ticket is actually issued.
What flights to take in Australia, where to stop on the way to Australia.
Where to be when? what season is it when? Is Japan safe?Are we going to cope with eachother?
What about the kids? Can we handle the jetlag, will the kids handle the jetlag?
How is the inevitable confrontation going to be with our 'self', together and individually.
These are but a handful of the fearful, joyous and exciting thoughts and feelings  we have encountered untill now.


In Conclusion we have come up with a temporary intinerary.


USA                 Aug > Oct
Australia          Oct > Nov
Indonesia         Nov > Dec                     
Thailand           Dec > Feb
India                 Feb > Apr
???
China               May > june
Japan                July
???



So we  bought walking shoes and sandals, featherlight clothing and backpack troleys.
We rented a 32" or 10 Mt Camper to start us of in the US after seeing my friend Joe J. and his son +1 Family of 4 and are all fearfully, joyfully, excitingly, impatiently waiting the departure date.


We have loads to do still but we all wish it was tomorrow. 
(Or maybe sunday after the Champions League Finals)
