Hey,

So this is the first blog - just to let everybody know our intended travel plan before we set off - i think its going to be interesting to see if we actually stick to the original plan, but here it is;

1st sept (tomorrow!!) = NYC

6th September = California - San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Santa Rosa, Yosemite, San Diego, LA, and also maybe Vegas and Grand Canyon

10th October = Guatemala, then making our way through central america heading towards Cosat Rica and possibly Panama

Mid November = Head down into South America, starting in Ecaudor

Mid December = Peru, finishing with the Inca Trail Trek to Macchu Picchu on Jan 9th

Mid Januray = Bolivia

End Jan/Early Feb = Nrazil, making our way to Rio for the carnival on the 21st Feb

End Feb = Argentina

10th March = Fly to Sydney, Australia

Mid April = Indonesia

Mid May = Head up to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos

End of June = India

End of September 2009 = Home

As you can see it starts to get a little bit vague after North America - we know a few places we really want to go to but other than that we intend to follow our noses and just see where we end up!

Thanks to everybody who made it to the farewell party last night, it was fantastic, we will miss you all very much!

If anybody wants to join up with us along the way that would be awesome, if not see you in a year

Love

Matt & Kate
