The Plan So Far

We have officially set a date for the trip. Were leaving on Aug 15 from Florida to New York to Italy and then to Bulgaria. The fucked up thing is in New York, we arent just switching flights were changing friggin airports. When we get to Bulgaria, were jumping onto the European railways and making our way to Germany (passing through Romania, Hungary and Austria) in the course of a month or so. We will also visit Netherlands, France and wherever else catches our fancy.





In Germany, we will be buying our visas for India, Russia and China. There is a chance that we might not be able to get them for one reason or another. Were both ok with that and, if that is the case, we will just spend 6 months in Europe (which isnt that much of a burden). If we do get the visas, we will then take a train from Berlin to Moscow.

We will explore Moscow for a couple of weeks and then jump on the Trans- Siberian to China (possibly passing through Mongolia). Well spend a month or so in China and then take the train from Shanghai to Lhasa, a city near Tibet. We will then travel down to India and spend a month there. Then we will fly to Thailand where hopefully we will catch the PADI National Geographic Diver event in the Andaman Sea (its supposed to start late November).

Depending on how much time we have left, we will either leave from Thailand or fly to Japan. Well spend the rest of the time in Japan and leave from there.



I plan to bring a camera and video camera to document our adventure. We'll try to get on to blog a bit while over seas but it will probably be sporadic. Wish us luck.
