We’ve crossed a pretty big milestone in the plans for my family’s round the world trip for the latter half of 2017: we’ve actually booked flights. Here’s how the latest location tracker looks:
You can compare this with the more speculative plan from last time – which still holds good for most areas – to get a sense for the timing and flow.
The first image includes prospective destinations reached overland – we’ll be renting cars/RVs/motor-homes in various locations, as well as taking a fair amount of public ground transportation. We’re crossing our fingers that the bus from Salta, Argentina to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile – an apparently spectacular journey over the Andes – is going to be running in mid-September. All part of the adventure, I suppose.
Many thanks to all of you who have emailed/posted suggestions for the trip. Some destinations haven’t made the latest cut – one I’m particularly sad about is that we won’t have time to do both…
