Its the final countdown!
14 days to go
08.02.2008
Well its not long now before we embark upon our round the world adventure.
Our trip is going to be more than 90 days, but only by a few days. So 90 days is a catchy number!
We leave our journey from the Gold Coast and fly out of Brisbane to Sydney to Honolulu Hawaii on the 24th Feb. In Hawaii we will be staying with family in both Honolulu and Hilo (big island). This leg of the trip is part work - part vacation as Matt is looking for properties for family members to develop. So we will get to see lots of the islands properties and features that only the local know about.
We leave Hawaii on the 5th March and stop over in LA. Here we will be catching up with friends and hopefully get to see most of LA including Hollywood, Disneyland, Universal Studios and maybe San Diego.
Leaving LA on the 10th we arrive in Las Vegas for the glitz and glamour for 4 nights. We will be staying right on the strip and also get a chance to fly on a helicopter into the Grand Canyon.
On the 14th we arrive at Springfield MO, where Matt lived for a year to catch up on old friends.
On the 18th March we set foot in Manhattan NY. For 7 days its "New York, New York" with visits to Washington DC, Niagara, Central Park, Broadway. We will be in New Yok for Easter and then head to Boston for 3 nights.
Boston is our last stay in the US!
Next stop London and a Contiki tour awaits us.
The 1st tour will be taking us around UK and Sth Ireland then back to London for 5 nights. After running around in London and trying to pick up the cackne (not sure how you spell that) accent. We then hop on another Contiki tour but this time through Europe, stopping in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rhine Valley, Munich, Lucerne, Florence, Nice, Barcelona, Bordeaux & Paris. Once back to London we hop on a plane and fly to Bangkok Thailand.
Bangkok will be a chance to start winding down for 4 nights in a 5 star hotel right in centre of town. Looking forward to eating here! After Bangkok its onto Singapore for an overnight stay before embarking on a cruise from Singapore to Hong Kong over 10 nights - can't wait!
Hong Kong will be graced with our presence for 3 nights, then its off to Phuket for our last stop over. Here we will be just sitting on the beach getting $5 massages and eating lots of Thai food - yum. 6 nights of pure bliss.
Then its home and back to the real world!
Not bad huh.
Once we start our journey we will keep you updated with all that happens with some great pics and stories from around the world.
Hope you can join us.
