The Big Trip
- Marc & Laura
- San Francisco, California, United States
- Two kids who grew-up in small towns in the San Joaquin Valley of California (Hughson & Carmichael) during the 1970’s and thru the 80’s. We still have family living there and visit our home towns with regularity. We’ve lived in San Francisco for the past seven years; both working in wireless telecommunications… a far stretch from the days of raking almonds and grading peaches in the Valley. Living in S.F. allowed us to see things we never really understood growing-up, and at times never imagined… culturally, socially or economically. We’ve really come to love it here. In the process of visiting many countries over several years (Nepal, Fiji, Thailand, Peru, Guatemala, France, UK, Netherlands, Turkey, Greece); mostly by backpack and on a budget of $100 a day or less, we realized we must see more. In 2004 we put a plan together to allow us to see the world. After 26 months of saving, planning and counting the days, we’re on target to leave on Jan. 29, ‘07. We intend to spend time in South America, New Zealand, Australia, South East Asia, India, Eastern and Western Europe and Africa. We hope you enjoy following along.

I go to sleep at night plotting out the itinerary. Will we be gone for 6 months, 7 months, 9 months, or 1 year. The itineraries differ depending upon the duration. Now I sit in my cube with beige walls and can't wait for the day I only see blue--blue skies, blue sea, blue ocean. Ahhh.
Well it's now 12:10 AM on 07/28/05 and I just dropped off the conference bridge for the Visage Mobile July '05 code release... as usual Sprint was down so we can't confirm that the newly installed code is 100% opperational. We decided that the team on-site will carry thru the evening and folks like me can go to bed and be prepared to roll into the office at 7:00 AM.
17 months, 522 days and I can leave all of this shit behind. Until then... I will continue to play the game.
And the countdown continues... we're counting down to T-minus 500 days. We just need to keep putting milestones along the path... next stop, Prague.
what up stony? Have another brownie!
