Hello,
So now it is official and it's under 6 months and counting down very quick until our trip commences!
I can't believe that January is over already!
So the most recent news is the biggest thing I have done so far which is I have now gone through the whole USA route and booked all our hotels on our route. A very good friend of ours Allan who works for Avis has now booked all our car hire for us for the duration of our trip at locations of our choice. (Thanks Allan)
So all that is left for the USA trip is to book our campgrounds in March as we can only book them 6 months in advance due to the high demand of people booking so the note is in the calendar ready to be booked!!
On other news I have also arranged the transport from Cusco to Lima on the Cruz Del Sur which is a 21 hour bus journey!! And I have booked our nights stay in Lima before we fly to Rio! I have also just booked our weeks stay in Rio as well.
This means that the whole of our South America part of our trip is all booked and set out for us to follow as we have our "Peru on a shoestring" tour that has also been booked via Trailfinders for the Machu Picchu trail (which is a 4 day hike into the mountains along the Inca Trail).
So all we have left to book is our USA campsite's in March, our first couple of days in Auckland and our week in Sydney for NYE. We are going to play NZ and OZ by ear and not have an itinerary as we have before on this trip so we can do whatever we want while we are there and go with the flow. We are going to look at a hop-on hop-off bus passes which we can go all over the north and south island of NZ.
Equipment wise we almost have most of the stuff we need to go the only thing we are waiting for is Sarah's backpack to arrive once that arrives all we need to get is clothes and some final bits and pieces but we will get that nearer the time as it will be summertime by then and hopefully some decent clothes out in the shops!
Watch out soon for another posting after all the campgrounds and possibly our New Year's Eve stay in Sydney has been booked!!
Exciting stuff!
