TRAVEL BLOG AND ITINERARY
a travel blog
|
We have sold up our belongings, loaded the backpacks and are off to see the world. Our first stop is Southeast Asia where we will visit Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. We have a brief stop in London for 10 days then on to Italy for 3 weeks and finally the French Alps to run a Ski Chalet over winter into early 2008.
From there we have no definite plans but hope to take in an as much of Europe as possible!
Have fun reading about our travels.
