The Next Big Trip

Last year it was two months in America (a.k.a. "the States"). Six months on, I'm getting a little edgy. It's time to start planning for The Next Big Trip. Various ideas have been thrown around - backpacking South-East Asia, skiing in South America, "doing" Europe, etc. The plan that seems most likely at the moment is a round-the-world trip encompassing Japan, England (and possibly France), Canada, and the United States. The timeframe: 4 - 8 weeks in the middle of 2002, possibly overlapping with the soccer World Cup in Japan. Current entourage: 4 people including self, one from England, one from Canada, and a fellow Aussie who has spent several years in Japan. Should be heaps of fun, and hopefully won't break the MBA budget too much, as we know several people along the way who'll be willing to host us.


Japan, France, and for the most part, Canada will all be new to me. For the US, we're pretty much just thinking NYC and LA. No world trip is complete without a few days in New York!
