I have always wanted to do it and now I am really getting underway. This is a mostly overland trip with a bit of a jump over Iran/Middle East. There are a couple of flights in Asia but mostly try to get around on my own.

I want to have a go at Australia while the currency exchange stinks for them. I would love to go to all those lovely places that I haven't before, Uluru, Kakapo, Adelaide, Cairns, whatever is convenient. Probably 3-4 weeks here. I will most likely have a flight from Auckland to Sydney, then from Sydney to Bangkok.

I figured out that i can buy a country train pass and go to the Alice, Adelaide, Melbourne, Darwin and Perth for only 590AUD which is a couple of night accommodation too (granted in a reclining seat). I plan on going to Kakadu for sure.

I would love to go on the Annapurna Trek but any trek will do - right now we are going for thirty days of walking in the himalayas - which is so awesome. Spend about 3-4weeks here. The flight is from Bangkok to Kathmandu. You can supposedly take an elephant ride down into Delhi. This is preferable to a flight of 500-600 dollars.

I want to spend about three months in India, doing whatever. I found that there is an organization that will get people up to volunteer for free around the area - this is of course much preferable to paying thousands of dollars. So after Alix leaves or before it is definitely an option.

I really would love to go here, but getting a visa as an American may be really hard. I may also need to wait until it is more spring to get here. I want to travel through the Mediterranean not sure which way. Emay will hopefully join me here.

Hi Kris, we did the Jomson Trek which is the bottom half of the Annapurna Curcuit. Nick did the whole Annapurna C last year with Justin Bobbyn, they loved it. I would LOVE to go back and do it again, the whole thing but I think it would take me (at my age) at least a month and I can't take this time off work yet. Soon, hopefully before I get too old to trek!! Lovewendy
