A Year of Summer...

I thought it would be a good time to start the Blog for our journey. I am going to include some details of the planning stages (as if anyone cares!), the journey plan (places and dates) and the build up to the adventure!

We have tried to plan our route so that we stick to countries in the best seasons, we both love hot weather so planned the trip with this in mind. Hopefully we should have a year of summer and land back in the UK in time for summer! Well that's the plan anyway...

Since we started planning the trip we have been asking friends and family for their experiences of the countries we are travelling to and where they most recommend. We are still open to any suggestions for attractions or places to visit along the way, so if you have any please forward them on to me!

If you would like to meet us anywhere along the way just email me and we'll figure something out.

Here is an interactive map that shows our journey (if it works!) You can drag the map to move it around and click on the blue markers to show the dates.

A rough timescale for our travels is as follows:
April to July - New York to Los Angeles in an RV
August - Japan
August to November - China to Singapore overland taking in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia.
December - New Zealand
January to February - Australia
March - India

I will go into more detail at a later time, but for now all you need to know is that hopefully we'll be touring the US of A in one of these bad boys:

That is all for now, soon I will post up details of our overland RV schedule.
