Yes. We are in our home town, and looking forward to the journey that is still to come.
We decided some time ago that when we retired we would take time out to travel extensively. Although we do not depart until 15th June 2007, our 33rd wedding anniversary, we have already purchased RTW airline travel, a BA/QANTAS codeshare called the Dreamtime Ticket. We also have our ultralight backpacks, sleeping bags and travel pillows, together with our emergency medical kit and several other lightweight travel items. Our intention is to travel with me carrying 13kgs and Chris carrying no more than 8kgs.
Our proposed itinerary, as follows, will take us away from the UK for approx 362 days:-Manchester/Denpasar(Bali), our first stopover. We intend to travel eastward overland through Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Rinca and on through Flores. Then it's back via Bali and through Java. Our next flight will be from Jakarta to Sydney for a 6 month camper van trip, then it's 3 weeks around South Island New Zealand, a few more days in oz and on to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and back to Thailand. After that we will travel down the Malayian peninsular to Singapore and lastly visit our favourite country, India.
