Today, Adelaide..... Tomorrow..... The World

It is now finally upon us.
We have 3 days of work left, then a weekend of partying and saying goodbye in Adelaide before we fly out on the 1st of November for Sydney (Tim) and Brisbane (Traci), to say goodbye to rellies.
On the 7th of November we fly out of Sydney for Bangkok, and 10 months of travel.
The plans are pretty fluid at the moment (just the way we wanted it), but the basic jist of it is to travel South East Asia anti clockwise for 4.5 months:
Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Laos, Thailand

Then fly on to Delhi and travel India clockwise for 6 months:
Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Keralla, Mumbai, Rajasthan, Himchal Pradesh, Delhi

From Delhi we fly on to Amman, Jordan where we will have a look at Petra and maybe Wadi Rum (if we have any money left!), and then on to London to live for a while (at the bare minimum until we have enough money to return).
From there, who knows :)

For those of you who know us, you can keep in touch with us and our travels here, and if you don't, you're welcome anyway.

The easiest way to follow the blog is to just bookmark this page, and visit every once is a while.

For the more technically minded:
You can use a newsreader, or other program that can access atom feeds to access this blog here

There is also an RSS feed here, if you use firefox click this link and then click the icon in the address bar, and add the live bookmark to your toolbar bookmarks (this should be the default selection, just click ok). When you click on the bookmark you will see a listing of recent posts, and ones you have not read yet, which is a really easy way to find out what we are up to.

We will be updating and improving the blog when we are on the road (well, in internet cafes anyway!), and will try and keep everyone informed of any changes. We will be contactable at our gmail addresses - if you dont have them, post a comment to us through this blog (click the add comment link at the bottom of one of the posts) and we will send them to you (you will have to leave your email address in the comment for us to be able to do this, i suggest that you write it in the format someone at somewhere d0t c0m (use zeros instead of the letter o in the dot and com) and not someone@somewhere.com as this will reduce the chances of getting spam - I will delete the comment after we have sent you out email address).

BTW the whole flashpacker thing was chosen as it is exactly what we are going to be doing - Backpacking with lashings and lashings of bling.
