Around the World in 190 Days

Two and a half years ago, we got a crazy idea. What if we graduated a semester early and took a six-month trip around the world?

Well, it seemed crazy at first, but somehow we knew it had to be possible. After factoring in hostels, budget airlines, and a few helpful hours of AP credit, we realized that we would have the money and time to do it. And we would never get another opportunity like this.

So, on January 13, 2008, we are setting off on the adventure of a lifetime. This blog will document our travels with stories and photographs. You can check our itinerary by clicking on the link to the right, and the photo thumbnails will take you to our Flickr photo page. Currently we have some shots up from our trip last summer to Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia.

So if you’d like to follow our travels, check back frequently during the next six months!

    I’m so excited to follow you guys on your trip. Also, your website is dead sexy. Must have been a very attractive person who designed such a website.

    While speaking with Tommy tonight he informed me that he would be leaving for his world wide adventure in approx 1 weeks time. I was floored to learn how many wonderful places he and Katie would be traveling to. I was also quite JEALOUS and wished they could put me in a carry on bag and take me with them. Unfortunately that is not possible but I will be with them in spirit and look forward to viewing pics from their adventure. Please keep each other safe and the CSC wishes both of you the best that this world has to offer. We will keep an “EYE” out for updates on the blog site. :)

    Ok, so you have approximately 24 hours until you leave for your around the world tour. I just want you to remember all the little people who are stuck in a classroom. Well mainly I just want you to think about me bieng stuck in a classroom. But anyway, I really hope the two of you have a great time.
