Evening peoples,
I added the map at the top today as so many people still ask us about the route. Not convinced its massively clear though, so thought i'd give a summary of what the general plan is (not all posts will be this long, promise!!). You can also click here, on the pic above or in this post to get a larger version....
Fly to New York then head down the east coast of USA. NY, Philli, Baltimaore, Washington then through the Appalachians (Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia) then through Florida to a flight that leaves Miami and scoots us back up the coast to Boston. From Boston we're gonna sort of go through New Hampshire and Vermont heading for Canada, might hit Montreal/Ottawa, but the general idea is to head through the Great Lakes (Toronto, Detroit, Chicago). It then gets crazy, we've planned only to get to Vancouver... Via Yellowstone National Park, not sure what happens in between!! Then we're off down the west coast (Seattle, Portland, San Fran, LA). There's an obligatory trip to Las Vegas for Stu's birthday, but we will pop back as we are flying out of LA...
Into Peru! Where we have a bit of a rest before hitting the Inca trail. There is a chance here that we will be at Machu Picchu for sunrise on my birthday - my fingers are crossed! We are then heading mainly east, through Bolivia into Brazil (Rio) then going south (Sao Paulo, Curitiba etc). We'll do Uraguay and Argentina, before jet setting out of Santiago in Chile...
Headed for New Zealand! We have a month here to get from Auckland in North Island to Christchurch in South Island, most probably via Fiordland National Park, a bungee jump, sky dive, white water raft and any other stupid pursuit we stumble across. From Christchurch we fly to...
Australia! Straight up the east coast here from Sydney to Cairns, with a possible scenic route through the outback depending on money, time and the temperature! We fly out of cairns (after surfing) and into...
Singapore, from which we have around ten weeks to get to New Delhi. And that is basically as detailed as that part is. We can't get many of the Visas until we reach Thailand, we don't know what the money/time situation will be, but we'd like to hit something like... Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Bangladesh??, Nepal, India.
Then we fly home and have another party!!
