Deciding where to go....

Every Walk around the World needs a map!!!

I would say our first road bump was finding out where to go......So many places, and so little time.

Figuring out where to go and prioritizing what places we've always wanted to visit came through reading other blogs, asking friends who have been to those places, and factoring in cost, time, and weather conditions. Grab some travel magazines, surf some online sites, hit the bookstore and library for travel guides and books, read blogs(those who have gone before), and ask your friends!!

So... after all the searching we decided....., we wanted to go everywhere! Here is our Travel Map!! We are starting Oct 4th! We fly out and head to Beijing. (Update: Turned out we had a short layover in South Korea and some friends already visiting at the same time so we jumped off the plane to start our travels in South Korea.)


The map doesn't show it, but we are heading to Europe after Africa!

Thanks for all your helpful hints, tips, and travel tricks!!
