Itinerary

We started to plan this trip in Sept. 07. At that point we thought we could just look at a map of the world and go willy-nilly from country to country as we pleased. We approached our travel agent with this half baked plan and quickly found out #1 To do exactly what we had planned was virtually impossible unless you were lets say very rich with access to a private jet etc. and #2 That most countries won't let you enter without a clear itinerary demonstrating just when you plan to leave. We also found out about Travel Visa's and vaccinations which I will talk about later in their own separate blog.



Our travel agent (Kim at Travel Cuts) has been just marvelous in helping us get our poop in a group in order to make this trip a reality. I had just the basic airfare figured out at about $10,000 ea. to do what we wanted but what we ended up with cost us $5146.08 ea. with taxes and including our hotel in Singapore Jan.01.
