The Race Begins

We are starting to prepare and discover a travel consultant, Pam of The Art of Vacationing, whose mission in life is to help people use the airline miles they have worked so hard and paid so much to accumulate. Whereas our efforts yield two enhanced economy seats fro Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia (our proposed first stop), she contacts our airline (British Airways) and discovers another way to do it. So we are off to Tokyo in First Class on American Airlines on June 16, 2011, and we will stay there for 9 nights, and then we travel business class on Japan Airlines to Sydney on June 27.

So awesome. I am very much looking forward to living vicariously through you guys for the next year or so!
Whopee! So excited for you. May you find many interesting people, stay healthy, and enjoy Mother Earth in all her glory.
And the journey begins! I hope you cherish every moment, whether spectacular or ordinary, since both will make this an adventure of a lifetime.
"We shall not cease from exploration.
And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate, when the last of earth left to discover is that which was the beginning."

Marshann - love the comment. We do look forward to finding the beginning. Ours is truly the adventure of a lifetime. Our next adventure is where we will be staying in the Sydney area and what after that. We may rent a camper from Wicked Camping. Take a look and visualize us in one of those cute minibuses! Cheers!
