So, here is my advise to anyone planning an around the world trip:
- Take more than 1 month to plan it
- Estimate the cost...then double it
- Do not undertake to find accommodation in Casablanca when you are PMSing
- Do not actually try to see the whole world in four months as I am doing...
Here is our itinerary

Paris
Rome
Budapest
Venice
Barcelona
Casablanca, Morocco

We have lots more to do before we go...obtaining visas, learning how to pack 4 months worth of clothes in to 1 carry-on bag (eeks)
I will update this blog as often as possible, Joel will be adding his own posts, and I hope to upload lots of photos.
Next post...a few peeks into the motivation and reason for this trip, what we hope to get out of it, and final words of farewell before we head off.
