An adventure into the future

Thirteen days to go. Am I ready no.... this week I printed out all of the itinerary, it's a lot of paper and I still have a few things left to organise, I have to work out how I am going to get from Colorado back to California and where I am going to stay on the way and when I arrive. It's funny how once I have booked a part of the trip it's almost as though the dates get plugged into my brain. For example I know that on the 20th February I am travelling from Memphis to Kansas, by bus. And on the 4th January I am travelling on the Indian Pacific Train from Adelaide to Perth, it take two days. Yet when I haven't got something booked I go into a sort of mild panic about what the dates are and how long for and where to stay etc.. It has been a very easy process so far. How did we manage before the Internet
, mind you that seems like a life time ago now. For me AirBNB has been a great addition to the adventure of travelling because I will meet people along the way and have use of laundry facilities and a kitchen so I can cater for myself to try and stay on the eating straight and narrow.

I went for a long walk with my good friend Maggie today, we got lost trying to get onto the route we wanted to go on and ended up doing it the wrong way round, so always reading the previous instruction. It was very funny and she said however are you going to get around the world if we can't even manage to go on a published local country walk ! She's got a point. Anyway we were successful in the end even if we did add a mile onto the route. Then a mad dash to the supermarket to get the ingredients for tomorrow's dinner party. It's all go at the moment,

I love the idea of doing a blog about your travels. When you gave me the details last night I was very impressed (and envious). Enjoy!
