Archive for May, 2010

There’s a lot of preparation that goes into leaving for a year and we’re getting down to the deadline here.  We’re hoping to leave as soon after June 5th as possible and be gone until the beginning of May 2011.

So far we have:

• A rough route of travel planned
• Our backpacks and most of the stuff to go in them
• Informed friends/family/employers of this plan
• Hazel working full-time on trip preparation

We have not finished:

• Getting all the vaccinations needed
• Selling or donating all of our possessions
• Finalizing visas/travel documents

Seems like we’re cutting it pretty close, but it will come together in the end!

We have begun our journey, sealing the deal with fire and water. So excited to get started!

Justin and Hazel are about to embark on a year-long trip around the world!  This will be an adventure of EPIC proportions and we’re hoping this blog can be helpful in recording our experiences and staying in touch.  Stick around – the adventure starts soon!
