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)
It's amazing how time flies.
ReplyDeleteA few months back, I get a phone call from my best friend, asking me for my opinion about going for a trip around the world, I rememeber saying "GO FOR IT" without realizing how much it's going to be difficult for me and how much I'm going to miss this part of my family.
Today, we are 8 months later and we have already blocked the dates in our agenda's for a goodbye party...unbelieveable, but still an adventure which I wish everybody could and should do if the situation allows you to do so.
Whatever happens, if you wish it or not, me, my wife and my lovely son, will surely come and visit you at least once and hopefully twice, so that we could catch up properly.
It's an amazing adventure and I'm sure it will also be a book or two of extraordinary memories. A moment of intensity surounded by your husband/wife and children,what better can you expect in life.
I'm gonna miss you all.
Lots of Love and good luck

ReplyDeleteAmazing indeed how time flies.
Yesterday an idea, tomorrow a reality.
The idea of missing them for a year will be a tough one to swallow but the only advantage is as we admit that time flies, I hope their absence will go by fast too and they will be back in good health with an amazing adventure that will never be forgotten by those 4 wonderful individuals.
That "light & serenity" always will be in your company.
Love y'all
