Our pockets are burned clean through

[wayfaringwordhack]

No more money incinerating our pockets, no, no, no. It's all gone into the ether today to purchase:

Round-world airfare
New Zealand campervan rental
New Zealand ferry crossing reservation.

So, yes, we have our official itinerary and dates. And joy! We will be visiting even more countries than previously planned and will be traveling for 7 months instead of 6. "Why not?" said mana_trini , so "Why not!" replied I.

I'm not near any of those places, but I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You'll get postcards from some of those places, though. It'll be like you were there. :P

[clarentine]

Woo!

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

You'll have a fabulous time!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope so. Or at least more fabulous times than not. :P

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

In New York in September? Interesting.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Is it now???

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

A little bit. :-)
You'll have to let me know what your itinerary there is as it gets closer.

I will *try* to get organized

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Oy, um...my itinerary is to follow Julien around? He's the one interested in the city. :P I'm pretty sure we'll meet up with Bonnie (mindseas) for tea/coffee and a chat. Try to take in a different band or music scene each night. Maybe go to the theater, on or off Broadway...

[pjthompson]

Wow! What a fabulous trip!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Yep, we are pretty chuffed about it. When we aren't so tired and stressed about all the little details

[pjthompson]

Planning the details can be exhausting, but also so damned exciting.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty ready for the damned exciting to come along...

When do you think it'll be here? :P

[frigg.livejournal.com]

It sounds just absolutely, crazy great!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Glad to have your sickpea approval. :D

[hkneale.livejournal.com]

Cool. Take me with you.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Would you leave their Ladyships for 7 whole months?

[hkneale.livejournal.com]

Leave? Of course not. They're experienced world travellers, and would love every minute (except for the boring bits in airports).

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

*lol* Well, when you said "Take me..." I assumed it would be just you. :P

[rabiagale.livejournal.com]

Yay for the Vermont leg! :) Let me know when/how/where you'll be coming in and what you absolutely want to do. :)

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

OK. We'll start looking into how we're going to travel to VT after we get back to the Old Continent. We want to go on hikes in the woods, that much I know, and we'd like to see some New England architecture, experience typical food, ambiance, etc. However, not a lot of concrete ideas on *where.* Any suggestions welcome. :D
