Welcome!! Team RA are embarking on a once in a life time trip around the world. We will try and update this blog once a week in internet cafes - so you can share our experience with us. It will be good to hear from you all so please feel free to add your comments!! see you in April 2009 xx
Not really much to talk about yet so how about you take a look to where we are planning to go.
The 1st stop is New York (so good they named it twice) - where we are staying for the 1st 4 days!!! We've never been before so we will be checking what the crack is and go and watch some sport. Not sure what season it is over there but I know the footy has started.. Hopefully will get to see some other sport... Amy loves sport you see.... After taking in NY (Soz) we will explore the east coast probably going upwards towards Washington / Boston and hopefully head towards Niagra falls
Ok, So after a month or so we fly over to LA where we are to get an internal flight to SAN FRAN. Here we will hire a motor home and travel down the west coast staying in Motels and on beaches... Not sure how Amy is going to cope with Rich the driver, stuck in a van for a month - come to think of it hows Rich going to cope???
After seeing the US we continue our journey down under and experince being called a pom for the first time. We first Fly into Auckland (nz) then plan to travel New Zealand for around 6 weeks ending up Skiing on our birthdays!!!.
After our time is up in NZ we will pop over to Austrailia landing in Melborne then get an internal flight upto Carins. From here we will travel down the east coast ending up in Sydney for Christmas and New Year!! - Amy finds it hard to imagine having christmas dinner on the beach.. Also rumour has it that the Rugby League world cup is on - crack on!!! The plan is to spend 8 months travelling around the place, but having said that I can see us staying put in a city for a while - not sure which one yet... The hottest I hope and get that tan going..
Ok my head hair will be long and maybeI'll have a little travel beard where as Amy will be extremley tanned!!! This is the last leg of the tour. Starting in Thailand then travelling through Veit Nam / Cambodia / Malaysia. We're going to take it easy here and just chill ( Peace Man!!) before heading upto Singapore and Hong Kong. Here we will look back we hopefully have no regrets of the year that we will never forget...
