We're leaving soon and there's so much to do! I've gotten half my shots and Karla just got all of hers today...then we have to get more pages for our passports so that we can obtain all our visas before we go, not to mention start booking our hostels and (finally) figuring out some of what we we should see! Phew.
But slowly and surely this thing is coming together, and we purchased tickets last week so we're really going! The final itinerary is as follows: we're leaving Sept 4 for Budapest where we'll stay for about a week, then flying to Turkey. From Turkey we're taking a ferry to Greece, then taking a ferry from Greece to Egypt. From Egypt we're flying to Tanzania, where we'll work for about three weeks with the Life Project for Africa (http://lifeprojectafrica.org/). From Tanzania we fly out to India and travel by train through India into Nepal. We'll go back into India to fly into Thailand (where we'll get to spend Thanksgiving with one of my college roommates, Katie!), then fly out of Bangkok into Hong Kong. From Hong Kong we're flying into Beijing, then we'll head north to see the Great Wall, before taking the train back into Beijing and flying out of there fly home December 18, just in time for Christmas.
So the next time I'll be posting, we should be en route. Don't forget to start checking our blog in September! And if anyone wants to join us for any part of the trip, let us know!
