The List?

The first question people always ask about the trip is “where are you going?”

At first, Robyn was always the one to answer this question.

Not because she has a better memory than me. Rather, the list was always “magically” changing and for some reason, only Robyn got the memo.

“Oh… so we want to go to Turkey now? Okay then. That’s news to me.”


Eventually, after many glasses of wine and “Atlas-caused” paper-cuts, we started nailing down a rough plan of areas we’d like to visit.

After that, it was just a matter of geography and global politics. For example, Iceland would be a fantastic place to visit, but it’s a helluva taxi ride from Vietnam. And yes, technically Sudan is very close to Tanzania, but right now, Sudan isn’t really known for its hospitality.

So where are we going?

Well, here’s where we’d like to go:

Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark and France.

Yeah, we realize this is a big list.

And yeah, we realize it may have to change for one reason or another.

Hell - we’ve been on the road for only a week now and our plans have already changed… typhoons tend to do that.

But that’s okay. It’s all part of the journey.

Besides, Brunei is supposed to be quite lovely.
