The Summary Itinerary

Call it a career break, a sabbatical, a mid-life crisis ... (take your pick lol) ... however you wish to label it, the bottom line is that I'm hitting the road.  I want to shake things up a bit, step outside my comfort zone, savor new experiences and meet many new friends.

So, as the Aborigines would say, I'm going on a walkabout.  I'll head out to London late Sept for a couple of weeks. I want to renew my passport (going to need more pages for all those new border control stamps J), process a couple of visas and generally hang out and catch up with a few of you.

Then the RTW jaunt kicks off proper on the 10th of October.  The route has been planned, the ticket acquired and the adventure will unfold like so (-> = flight, // = overland travel, ~ = by sea):

10th Oct '11        London -> Peru // Ecuador // Colombia? // Bolivia? // Brazil // Argentina // Chile
14th Feb ’12       Santiago (Chile) ->Tahiti ~ Bora Bora
26th Feb ’12       Tahiti -> New Zealand (Auckland) // Wellington // Christchurch
30th Apr ’12        New Zealand (Christchurch ) -> Australia (Sydney)
14th May ’12      Australia -> Singapore // Indonesia // Cambodia // Laos // Vietnam // China (Hong Kong // Ghuanzhou // Shanghai )
17th Sept ’12      Shanghai -> London
End of Sept/Early October           London -> Grand Cayman

Happy Days :)
