Well I’m further along in the planning for the 2009-10 trip that I’m taking with my nephew Andrew. Previous posts are the initial planning and the phantom booking.

It’s hard to believe but on this Thursday 29 March I will mark exactly one year ago that I set off on my 2006 sole epic world trip. I have so many great memories from that trip (one bad incident); I learnt so much and recommend everyone giving it ago if possible. Well this…

I’ve just starting to organise my thoughts in regards to the many highlights of my 153 day trip. I’m sure as I start putting together my photo albums and travel journal I’ll recall many more but for now; I’ve travelled for 153 days, on 8 different airlines and 23 different countries.
