Our Itinerary
As many of you know, I’m a planner to the n-th degree, so yes, we have a pretty well established itinerary… for now through early January. That said, the basis for our itinerary was three specific things we want to see:
-
Safari great migration - August
-
Northern lights in Norway - September
-
Cherry Blossoms in Japan - April.
The rest of our travels are built around those three things.
We’re trying to give ourselves some more time in some cities that we’d like to get to know or use as a home base for day trips (10 ish days is longer for us). Other cities are quick stops (2-3 nights) to see someplace with our own eyes and note our interest for the future. Though we’d like to have more longer stays we’ve also noted that some countries just have SO MUCH TO SEE and so moving around will just be part of this years’ adventure as well.
We’d love to have you come meet up with us, so I’ve included more details here, let us know where you’d like to join us!
