I've repeated this information about a thousand times during the 50 or so going away parties/drinks I barely survived before the big day. But here it is again, for the few that I didn't get to say goodbye to in person.

Travel Itinerary
India (3 weeks)
Nepal (4 weeks)
China (5 weeks)
Vietnam (3 weeks)
Cambodia (3 weeks)
Laos (3 weeks)
Thailand (3 weeks)
Australia (a lot longer)

We're flying into India (well, we've flown actually), and we're flying from Nepal to China, and of course we're flying to Australia, but other than that it's all on the ground. This is an important aspect of our plan, avoiding flights wherever possible. Flying effectively removes you from whatever country you're in, if you see photos inside an aircraft can you tell in which country, nay, which continent, the picture was taken?

Flexibility is another important aspect – we need to be in Kathmandu on a certain date for our flight to China, and we need to be done with Vietnam before our visa there expires (if we stay longer than the five weeks in China it'll eat into our 'nam time). Other than that, we can go where we want, when we want. Our time in Asia isn't capped as of yet either – we haven't even booked our flights to Australia yet!

The most specific version of our planned route can be found here. I'm hoping to record our actual route too, I doubt our planned route will be anywhere near it.
