View Around the world in 365 days... & Where we're going! on monkeyboy1's travel map.

Well, we're just 7 days away from setting off on our trip around the world. The map above shows where we're roughly planning to go. It hasn't really sunk in yet with either of us that we're going travelling, maybe it won't sink in until we actually touch down in Mexico and are trying to find our way around a city with 20 million other inhabitants using our more than basic Spanish, "Entiendo?" "No Entiendo!" could be the way it will all go... :P

Even though it hasn't fully sunk in i'm still getting excited about the prospect of seeing so many cool places and doing so many things, in my head the highlights on the trip will be:

- Diving off the East coast of Mexico.
- Climing Tikal to watch a sunset.
- Trekking an alternate route to Macchu Picchu for Christy's birthday.
- Living in the Amazon for a month whilst trying to avoid being infested with skin boring bugs and/ or wrestling with anacondas.
- Trekking the Great Ocean walk in Australia.
- Seeing Komodo dragons and orangutans in Indonesia.
- Spending Christmas and New Year in Thailand.
- Exploring Africa.
- Spending a year with Christy doing hardly any work, and best of all not having to teach any children! :D

I'm sure there will be many many many many more exciting things happening along the way that I can't even imagine yet and I'll keep this blog updated when I can with everything that happens.

The next time I add to this I'll be in Mexico, hasta la vista amigos!
