Actual Itinerary
Here is the current status of the places we have gone and the amount of time we have spent in each place. Click on a country for interesting facts, our initial impressions, and a link to all of our journals. We will keep this as updated as possible with our continually-revised list of travel plans.
We found this great quote to help rationalize all of our changes:"Finishing trips the way they think they will is what tourists do. Pilgrims get blown around."
Check out our Initial Itinerary to see our first draft of the schedule and note how much its changed.
