We have decided now is a great time to go and explore a bit more world, well at least as much as you can fit into three months, which isn't all that much in reality when you start planning and looking at where you would like to go. After much deliberation we have decided on a round the world route which is the first time either of us have ever been all the way around. 

The plan should take us to the following places and we plan to do as much as humanly possible in each place and then come home at the end for a rest (and no doubt a dose of reality):

  • Hong Kong (10th December)
  • Perth, Australia (17th December)
  • Cairns, Australia (27th December)
  • Motoring to Sydney (2nd January 2007 - 22nd January)
  • Sydney (22nd January)
  • Christchurch, New Zealand (26th January)
  • Motoring to Auckland (29th January - 21st February)
  • Auckland (21st February)
  • Honolulu, Hawai'i (24th February)
  • San Francisco (2nd March)
  • Boston (8th March)
  • Home (15th March)
  • Back to the real world of work (19th March)
