Well I booked the flights.
A couple of months ago we decided to go for the big one!!
Yes we made the decision to sell the house and go traveling. The mode of transportation will be our BMW GS1200 that last year we put 20,000 klms on and loved every one of them. So we listed the house and in 3 weeks it was sold. That blew us both away we moved out on the 8th of January and got a small house in trade which we are now renovating.
So now we are planning the route or should I say I am!!
We plan to leave Salt spring on May the 30th and ride across to Halifax to visit family via route 2 in the US through Montana then back to Montreal where we are booked to fly Air Transat to Dublin Ireland on July 7th with the bike. Ahhh for the love of Guinness!! We will spend 2 weeks in Ireland doing the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula then of to Scotland to sample the best Whiskey one can find, traveling north to the top returning through the Lake District the Yorkshire Dales onto the Moors then through our home town down to the ferry or the Chunnel and off to France to sample some fine wines. I like it so far!!!
We will spend about 3 months in Europe Check out Morocco some how go to Egypt to see the Pyramids then maybe India and places far beyond!!
We cant plan it all or there wont be any surprises.
Yes we have been inspired By Charlie and Ewen and also Ted Simon ( Jupiter's Travels the book) We will be mixing it up with some camping and a few hotels and maybe the odd hostel.
I will try to keep you updated on this blog with some interesting photos and a tale or two about our adventure so check back often and become a follower to get updated on our new posts,
This sounds so exciting! What a brilliant trip this is going to be! I'm very envious of your Egypt & Morocco travels in particular. I spent 4 months traveling SE Asia on my own about 13 years ago and it was awesome but a bit lonely sometimes so if I were to do something like this again--I'd do exactly you are doing together.
