Meet up with the bike in Europe and explore that continent, then down through the western countries in Africa, then back up the eastern coast. Head north through southwest Asia avoiding all the nasty countries on my way to India, stay there for a while, then into Southeast Asia. After that, ship the bike down to Australia then New Zealand. And finally finish up the journey with a swing through all 48 lower states.


A great book to buy and read is called Lonely Planet, details alot of places to visit, stay, and routes to avoid, visas, stuff like that.

I'm probably doing mine alone... as no one I know can get that time off... and I'm fine with it... be cool to control my own pace... though would be nice to have a bit of conversation on the road.

I plan on heading to Labrador next year or so... all depends on my time off.

2011 I have a trip planned out west... this one is for sure...


in reality... I'm ready to go now... my heart pulls me to the adventure... makes me wonder if anything else matters...
