First Itinerary

Thanks to the very helpful people at the ANU branch of STA Travel we now have something that looks like an itinerary, although there are bound to be changes! We depart the magical Land of Oz on 6th July and our first stop is, yes, Disneyland. We then head to New York before spending three days in Iceland. What can you do in Iceland for three days? I don't know, but am bound to find out soon. We arrive in London on 26th July then spend a few days acclimatising to the new time zone. On 1st August Ellie will head off to Spain to attend the Don Quijote language school for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I get to do things in southern England that Ellie would find desperately dull, such as attending the Frome Convention, which is a meeting of people researching their family history in the region of Frome, Somerset. Ellie comes back on 14th August and then we head off to Cheltenham to work at the Greenbelt Festival. More about all of that later. We then have a few weeks to waddle about Britain and/or mainland Europe (haven't sorted that detail out yet). On 14th September we go from London to Islamabad via Brisbane, Australia. Yes, I know. It makes no sense. It will all become clear later. We plan to arrive in Islamabad on 24th September, then its on to Nepal, India, Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia and finally, Dili in Timor Leste. We should be back in our national capital, Canberra, on 4th February, just in time for Ellie to come down to earth and start Year 10.

Then I have to find somewhere for us to live and I have to get a real job. Sigh.
