The planning begins

STAGE 1:
Travellers: Kirsty and me
Departure: November 12th 2009
Destinations: Miami, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Belize (time permitting).

STAGE 2:
Travellers: me
Departure: February 15th 2010
Destinations: Borneo (diving), Singapore, Australia.............................

Reasons for the above:
Having been away for 4 years in Japan, life back in London feels too...mainstream, or something!
2 years in an office job has definitely ruined my eyesight, and my soul.
I have an Australian passport but never lived there.
Having trained for an ironman triathlon through the coldest UK winter in 20 years, I decided that enough was enough. Training in Australia will be amazing!
Holidaying from Australia will be amazing!
Life is too short to be stuck in one place.
Travelling with Kirsty will be such a fantastic experience that we'll share forever.
It's time to learn some Spanish!
It's time to learn to surf properly!
Credit crunch - thought I'd throw that in for good measure.
Restless.
Bored.
Time to mix it up.
Bring on the next of life's wee adventures!

Reason for blog:
To keep you all updated on the trials and tribulations of Team McRae, as we scoot around the world.
To make you sufficiently jealous, while you sit at your own office desks, destroying your own eyes, and your own soul ;-)
To inspire you to do something about the above point.

Let the journey begin!
