Our itinerary
Hello, family and friends, and welcome to our travel blog!
The four of us – B (dad), A (mum), F (11) and J (8) – are about to embark on a five-month round-the-world trip, and this site is where we'll share our adventures with you. We'll be away for 151 days and visit about eighteen different countries.
The plan is for all four of us to contribute to this blog, so we'd love for you to leave a comment or ask us a question now and then – it'll help motivate us to keep this site up to date for you! (Note that you'll need to subscribe to comment.)
Currently, with only twelve days until our departure, we’re frantically getting our house ready to rent out, chipping away at our long list of pre-trip jobs/ admin/ appointments, and preparing to pack only 7kg of carry-on luggage each (we'll let you know how we go with that!). Needless to say, things are pretty busy around here!
