Here is the tentative itinerary for the big trip…I’m looking forward to meeting a few of you out there along the way…
-Z
Airfare (purchased on 7/27/06):

Travel Date Destination
Tue, Aug 22 NYC –> Lisbon, Portugal
Wed, Sep 13 Barcelona, Spain –> Helsinki, Denmark
Fri, Sep 15 Helsinki –> Stockholm, Sweden
Mon, Nov 27 Zagreb, Croatia –> Cairo, Egypt
Thu, Nov 30 Cairo –> Bangkok, Thailand

 

    There will be lots of over-land travel included in the overall itinerary; broken down and more specifically, this is:  

    Leg 1:
    7 days in Portugal, traveling along the Atlantic coast going around to get into southern Spain near Sep 1st.  Then, it’s north through Sevilla to Madrid for a week or more, then on to Barcelona for the second week when I leave for Stockholm.

    Leg 2:
    67 days spent traveling/exploring the eastern-European countries while racing impending winter from the north and enjoying the fall going south until I eventually end up in Croatia to leave for Cairo.

    Leg 3:
    3 days in Cairo, then it’s on to Bangkok.  From here, I am planning roughly another 60 days exploring places like Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, Java, the list goes on.

    Leg 4:
    No itinerary or tickets purchased for this leg as of yet.  The distant plan is to spend New Years somewhere in Thailand and leave near the end of Jan for Australia.  After 15 days in Australia, it’s on to New Zealand for roughly another 15 days.  Then it’s on to island hop around the South Pacific…Tonga, Fiji, Tahiti.  Then finally, in March, head on to Hilo, Hawaii to visit family, then on to San Diego!
