As you can imagine there is much to organise for this trip and it feels like we've done so much already.
Progress to date:
1. Resign from job (Jo) - check
2. Rent out our apartment - check
3. Decide on itinerary - check
4. Book RTW flights - check
Now were up to the part where details come in. Jo is a born planner and organiser, where as I.....well, I can do it if I have to. Details? Me? Er no (unless it's do with money!). So we (the 'royal' we) are researching places, booking cars, accommodation, working out travel times etc etc.
We've made a fair bit of progress so far though - mostly due to the discovery of a great website called HotWire. Our good friend Janet told us about it, it's a site for booking car hire, accommodation etc and it's a bit like "Accomodation Gambling" if such a thing exists. They offer hotels at very cheap prices because you don't find out the name of the hotel until AFTER you book and pay! But believe me, this has worked out great for us on all 4 occassions!
With the US mostly taken care of, we're turning our attention to Europe now and the places that will be super busy and booked up in summer. ie. everywhere.
