“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – Seneca

Reality?

Our idea was great! And it still is, don't get me wrong. But little did we know what traveling for a long period of time was going to entail, at the time of this wonderful idea!

The list is too big to mention, but to name a few: Practically moving out (almost everything, except our furniture). Rakesh and I swore that we wouldn't move again until we plan to buy a house...haha (that thought lasted for only 2 years)! Then there was the purchasing of all the necessary clothes, 
gear etc. - the fun part! Obtaining all necessary documents (see other posts for details). Booking some hostals, tours and flights (others we'll book along the way). 

We've been "homeless" since yesterday. That's when we turned our apartment over to our our subtenants. Ofcourse, we have a roof over our heads as we are staying with Rakesh's cousin and family. 

The big day is tomorrow, October 2nd 2012!! We will be flying out with LAN airlines at 12:45pm. It will be a direct flight to our first destination, Lima, Peru...
