80 Days and Counting!



Well, we are down to 80 days until we leave now. Things are starting to get a little busy and we are starting to do the mundane uninteresting things that come with planing a large trip like this. First we had to get visas. That's always interesting but we were able to get out India and Vietnam visas all worked out. To get our China Visa we will have to go to DC and most likely wait in line all day just for the chance to asked what the process is to get their visa. In the end it will be worth it though!
The next big thing on our "to do" list is to find out about shots and immunizations, which is a pain because they are NOT cheap. Right now we are both scrambling to get them done before we leave without paying over a $1000 for the two of us to get immunized. Good news its that the shots for Ashley (at least some of them) are covered by the new health care act and her insurance company. 
Other than that, most of our shopping is done and soon we will be packing everything we own into boxes and start learning how to live out of a small bag long term! 
India Visa!

The Real Countdown!

We are now at 92 days until we leave!!  It's amazing how fast the time goes by. Before we know it we will have less than 2 months to go!  We have accomplished a lot these past few weeks...tickets are bought (except for the trip back to the states!), planning hostels for Panama, buying lots of fun of gear/clothes/gadgets  (we'll see how many actually get used haha).  Check back in soon for more details!
