The Itinerary!

Well, here's the current plan for the year off. It may change. In fact, it will probably change based on the number of revisions that we've made already, but here goes!

We flew to Bangkok on Jan 6th, arriving on Jan 8th. We'll be in Thailand for 6 weeks in the south east Krabi region scuba diving on Ko Lanta and climbing at Railay and Ton Sai beaches. We are very close to the area where they filmed "The Beach" and it is truly beautiful here.

Feb 19th we fly to New Zealand, mostly the south island, where we'll spend a month hiking, climbing and exploring.
March 18th we're off to Australia for climbing and to see Josh's brother Peter and his wife Annette. We'll be "down under" for about two months, including a trip to Tazmania where Josh hopes to climb The Totem Pole.

May 13th is a detour to Fiji for two weeks of relaxation and more scuba diving.

May 27th we head back to NE Australia to explor Darwin and scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef for a couple of weeks.

June 10th we head to Singapore to sample the local cuisine which we heard is spectacular. Nath may take a cooking class there.

June 17th we're off to Malaysia where our passtimes are still TBD. Maybe we'll repeat Scotty's route on the Dragon's Horn if we can work it in!

July 5th we head to Cambodia to see the world famous Ankor Wat, the beautiful temples overgrown in the jungle.

July 15th back to Thailand. We may meet up with Charles at this time. We'll be climbing and taking cooking classes in the Chaing Mai area in the north. It'll rain a lot, but oh well... it will be fun!

Aug 5th will see us heading to Vietnam for some deep water soloing in Ha Long Bay and other explorations. We currently plan on staying primarily in the north of the country due to recommendations.

Sept 2nd we're off to China where we'll take a month to trek across the south of the country from east to west starting in Hong Kong and ending in Dali with a stop in Yangshuo a beautiful climbing destination.

Sept 30th will find us in the Himalayas of Nepal trekking. Maybe we'll go to Everest Base Camp, or the base of Annapurna. We haven't decided yet.

Oct 28th we'll fly to India. We're currently undecided about what we want to do in India, but we'll be there for a month!

Nov 25th we'll head back to Thailand for a final 3 weeks of climbing in Scuba, probably again in Krabi region.

Dec 16th will find us headed back to LA with too many pictures and stories to tell. When we get back we plan to spend Christmas in Montreal with Nath's family and about a week in AZ with Josh's parents.
