I know that two years ago T and I said that our honeymoon would be our Last Big Trip. Hey, guess what? We lied. We got to Australia and started thinking about going back to America, and it was just too much to resist. What would you do? Hang on to your savings like a responsible adult, go back to America and be a grownup, OR spend it all on a 7-month trip around the world so you can return to the U.S. destitute and living above your mother’s garage? I know which is more appealing…

And so, at the end of November, off we go again. In the meantime, we are saving every last penny we have (which ain’t many, let me tell you) so that we can afford the glamorous SE Asian guesthouses that cost up to $10USD a night (or 3¢ Canadian). Given the way the U.S. dollar is performing, it could cost us millions.

I’ll be writing here for the next nine months, chronicling the end of our days in Melbourne and the seven months of travel. I can’t promise any excitement like the last trip (it’s pretty hard to get robbed by headhunters TWICE), but I’ll do my best. In the meantime, you should be able to comment on here without having to register and give WordPress your SSN and all that jazz. So go nuts.
