Some of our trip-planning tools
It’s a big world out there! When we started thinking about planning a year long trip, we wanted to squeeze in as many sights as possible. Unfortunately, there’s no way to see it all. So, we started whittling down our list of dream destinations until we could come up with an itinerary that makes sense for us. We based our priorities off of several factors including important places in our family history, exotic destinations we have always dreamed of visiting, historic landmarks of particular interest to us, as well as locations where we could visit friends along the way. A goal of ours on this trip is also to visit as many UNESCO World Heritage sites as possible.
We broke down the current schedule into three legs. We are trying to firm up our plans 3-4 weeks in advance, but the rest of the list is still changing as our plans develop. We will continue to update this page as our plans become more concrete. If any of you have recommendations of must-see destinations, we would love to hear any and all suggestions!
Right now, our thought is that we will come home to the States for a few weeks in May 2016 and after visiting with family and friends, we will continue on our journey.
We can’t wait to see where this trip will take us!
1st Leg: August - November 2nd Leg: November – January 3rd Leg: January - May 4th Leg: May - August
