The Final Countdown

There's only a few days now - two more sleeps actually - before Shan and I head off on our world trip. And so, it's time to start blogging again. Our bags are mostly packed, our passports are full of blank pages and visa's, Shannon's just within earshot ripping her leg hairs out with hot wax (lot's of "ouch"s and "&$%#"s coming from her), I think we're just about ready to go.

So, for all those interested, here's the itinerary:

Oct 11-Oct 13 - a whole lot o' planes and airport lounges
Oct 13-Nov 6 - Nepal
Nov 6-Nov 26 - India
Nov 26-Dec 6 - Cambodia
Dec 6-Dec 22 - Laos
Dec 22-Jan 13 - Vietnam
Jan 13-Feb 3 - Indonesia
Feb 3-Mar 8 - Various African countries
Mar 8-Mar 20 - Egypt
Mar 20-June 13 - Europe/UK
June 13-June 26 - Iceland

The first stop is Nepal, where I'll be going on a 17 day hike into the Himalayas. We'll get as high and far as the Mt. Everest base camp, and summit a (relatively) small peak called Kala Patthar - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kala_Patar




Anyway, the time home in Canada's been fun, though I'm pumped to be leaving for the trip. I've run into numerous Koreans since returning and even spouted out some of my terrible Korean skills to them. I've through some photos up here so you can see some of the good times I've had while home too, I certainly forgot home amazing and comforting the scenery and landscapes in Canada are.




I'm not sure how often I'll be writing, but I'm fairly certain I'll be jotting something down here every two weeks at least. Thanks for reading everyone, hopefully you'll enjoy checkin' up on my trip as it unfolds!
