Brent and I are leaving for our trip on July 29th. Our house is filled with giveaway piles and moving boxes. We both have one week left of work and it’s a mad dash for the finish line. It’s so close and doesn’t yet feel real.
Current thoughts: 6 months seems like a lot of time, but when you start planning it out, it goes quick! Our general plan is to do 3 legs. 2 months in BC, 6 weeks in Asia (Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia), 10 weeks South America (Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile).
Here’s our rough itinerary for the first leg:
July 29-31 – Squamish – Lisa & Anton’s Wedding
August 1 – Parksville
August 2 – Courtenay
August 4 – Ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert
August 5 – Travel to Haida Gwaii
August 6-15 – Haida Gwaii
August 15-30 – Northern BC & Yukon
September 3-5 – Indian Arm – Ashley & Matt’s Wedding
September 6-9 – Sunshine Coast
September 9-11 – Bowen Island – Phil & Erica’s Wedding
September 12-25 – Okanagan & Kootenays
September 26-28 – Seattle
September 29 – Off to Tokyo!
