Here's the barest outline of our itinerary:
Sept. 1 from Toronto to Lima, Peru
Oct. 4 to Santiago, Chile
Oct. 14 to Easter Island
Oct.18 to Papeete, Tahiti
Oct. 24 to Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Nov. 5 to Auckland, New Zealand
Dec. 1 to Sydney, Australia
Dec. 15 to Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
Dec. 30 to Sydney
Jan. 8 to Bangkok, Thailand
(time passes, then) Aug. 15ish to Toronto
I left out a few internal flights in some countries but I wanted to include Tasmania because it's so out there, and it's where we're going to spend Christmas. Then it's New Year's in Sydney, Bob's birthday in Thailand and Karen's birthday who knows where . . . that's the part of the journey we've left as wide open as possible.

It's a blog (have a cigar)
Karen and I both procrastinated on this blog creation as long as possible but buying the airline tickets seemed to have been the moment of truth.
I'm still working like a dog leading up to the year off. Still, it's a year off to travel, what can The Man do to ruin that?
Next up, I'm going to scan in a slide from our Bali slideshow because that's the only place on our tour that we've been before.
Maybe I'll find another slide from the ethnic areas of China adjacent to Laos or Vietnam. The ethnic groups that we plan to visit should be quite familiar to us from our 2000 trip to China because the ethnic boundaries don't match the political boundaries.
So, let's see if this posts.
