It's all kicked off to a (fairly) smooth start. John's soaking up the sun and the surf in Indonesia right now with 'les boyz' and I've just finished 8 days of bliss in Byron Bay with my ladies. We've had a few (minor) hiccups as we get our travel legs underneath us ready to take on the globe.. notably the fact that we didn't plan our cholera vaccine quite perfectly and I will have to transport John's 2nd dose to Bali (and somehow keep it refrigerated for the 14hr journey!).. and secondly - it turns out there are some dodgy Vietnam visa websites but alas also a great lesson in preparation!
I fly out on Thursday morning bright and early so thought I'd post our itinerary so everyone who's interested can keep up to speed with our jet setting. And so it goes:
23rd September: Sydney - Singapore
23rd September: Singapore - Dempasar Indonesia - Christi to meet John
1st October : Dempasar Indonesia - Singapore
1st October: Singapore - Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam
Overland through Vietnam to Laos.
(yet to purchase flight from Ventienne Laos to Delhi India - will send details through from Asia)
8th December: Delhi - Frankfurt
16th December: Frankfurt - Toronto
16th December: Toronto - Ottawa (Christi)
Here's a nice engagement photo of us courtesy of our uber talented friend/photo genius Dave. (You can check out his website at www.davidmauricesmith.com to see more of his magic.) The funny thing is this was actually taken pre-engagement. Both Dave and John knew he was proposing that week but I was in the dark.
Enjoy your journey John and Christi. Savour all your moments (and good-luck with the Vietnam visa).
