Endless Summer

After a year working, living and playing in Calgary, we have decided to embark on the proverbial trip to find ourselves, or at least the answer to life, the universe and everything. Starting on September 6, 2006 we are going to be taking a haitus from the duldroms of adulthood and responsibility. Equiped with the clothes on our backs, a few items jammed into our backpacks, and what money is leftover from a year of scrimping and saving; we are about to set out on what promises to be a most excellent adventure.

First Stop... South America

Arrival: Lima, Peru September 7, 2006
Itinerary: Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile
Departure: Buenes Aires, Argentina March 1, 2007

March is afterall a long way off, but somewhere in the back of our minds lies the second leg of our trip, Africa. Proposed is a week or so back in Canada to rejuvinate and otherwise mooch and then off again on our travels.

Second Stop... Africa ???

Arrival: Johannesburg, South Africa March 09, 2007???
Itinerary: South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Egypt???
Departure: Nairobi, Kenya August 10, 2007???

We would like to use this blog as a means of updating our friends and family of our adventures and hopefully not too many of our misadventures along the way. We hope to use it as a forum to link to more of our photos and calendar information.

Let the blogs begin.
