It's been a while since I posted. Mostly because there haven't been many new developments regarding my trip. Right now I'm just treading water, trying to save up money (and frequent flyer miles) and trying not to think too much about the trip. I don't want to overplan too much.
Things that I have gotten done: acquired a new domain name for this blog (and possibly more - details in a few weeks); got some new hiking/walking shoes (they're shipping from Timberland this week); and spent way too many hours perusing other RTW travelogues.
I have to admit to feeling a bit discouraged sometimes. In some ways the last few months have flown by, but in other ways it feels like I've been planning this trip forever, and I just want to get GOING!
The most unfortunate development in my trip planning is the pushing back of the trip to April. There's two main reasons for this: 1) three more months to save - I just wasn't going to have enough money put away; and 2) apartment situation. I think that if I wait out my lease to the 1 year point, I should be able to get my building to let me out of the lease - the building is full, and I have a significant construction concession, which means that they could make a lot more money by letting me out of the lease.
