Yip, Morocco is pretty high up my to-do list too.
Was planning to be there, oh, about now! but one of my friends inconsideratly got engaged and asked me to fly to a tropical island to be her bridesmaid in november and well... it's a hardship, but heck!

So next year goes: Morocco(hopefully a bit of spain nad portugal thrown in for good measure), Greece, maybe a bit of Poland over the summer and, as soon as my best mate gets out of her work-contract, off to Italy to live and play for about 3 months! (sunshine, wine, antipasto, mmm..!)
I'm not sure 12 months is actually going to be longer enough to fit my year in! How do I apply for an extension?

Ok, scratch Jordan and Oman. I'm starting my big trip in September 2007!

Here's a rough itinerary for my fiancee and me in 2007:

Starting the year in Oman, then Yemen and (briefly) the UAE, followed by North Africa (pending Libyan visas) from Egypt to Morocco, heading to Spain at the end of May / start of June, quickly onto Italy for our wedding . Honeymoon in St. Petersburg and then the Trans-Mongolian railway from Moscow to Beijing, hopefully taking about two months to do it. There's a possibility we might have jobs in Beijing starting around this time, or if not we'd like to continue to Nepal and eventually do some of SE Asia and Central Asia, though by this time it will be 2008

Still all up in the air...

I was just reading through old threads and really enjoying them. I decided I am going to try to write more substantial stuff on bootsnall and really try to put some thought into my posts.

anyhow, i was going to start a thread for folks to write down their goals for 2007 as far as future travel goes...maybe ill still do that. i was e xcited to see this one had already been started. I will list my own travel goals for 2007 at this time.


Jan: India (in case you hadn't heard)
March: West Virginia and Jamaica
June: Italy and Croatia


humrph. thats all i have planned for now. i thought i had more than that. oh well, im sure something will come up.


zopa

ps
what about you?

Italy and Croatia will be great. India is a huge trip for anyone I have ever met who went there. They rave about it.West Virginia and Jamaica don't seem to have a lot in common, though.


I am selling everything I own and plan to try and spend a year teaching English in Chile. I only hope I can do something after that to keep moving on.

By the way, Wanna Buy A Couch? It's Nice.

Sadly, 2007 will be a replenish-the-bank-account year. I'm hoping for South Am. in '08 or '09 at the latest.

2007 will just be a couple of short trips then off on RTW in 2008. 2007 jaunts include Calgary, Canada and Nova Scotia.

Thailand in March.

Weekend trips to Europe this winter. Somewhere for sure next summer, just not sure where yet.

We're tentatively planning a driving trip to the Yukon, hopefully in June. However, since half of "we" is still trying to find a rewarding permanent job, those plans are a little shaky.

2007 could go many ways for me right now. It'll start off with two months of living in Sydney. Then it could be either:

1. moving to london (peak bagging the munros, enjoyig europe - ireland/spain/morocco, mountain biking in the alps, etc)

or

2. moving to seattle (climbing some peaks, meeting some booties - finally!, the west coast trail, mtn biking in whistler, etc)

or

3. staying in sydney (with New Zealand so close for some trekking, kayaking, mtn biking)

or

4. back to San Diego (and making some outdoor trips in the states)

hmm..2007 will definetly be about travelling around Oz and New Zealand... Africa and/or Europe for 2008, yay!

For me, 2007 might just be a year of moving to Idaho or Oregon (still debating). If I can swing it, I would love to throw in an extended trip to Europe or Australia in between moves/jobs, but we'll see!

2007 travel will be:

March/April will be Cairo to Istanbul (getting more excited about this everyday).

September will be a couple of weeks in France (and the UK?)

My extended travelling was in 2006... this year only small stuff is lined up... going to check out Arizona and some other states... I haven't really been to anywhere in the U.S. other than Seattle... So it should be an interesting experience.

February 07 sees me moving to China (Guangzhou). Probably only one or two day trips in the surrounding area for the first few months. Then unconfirmed plans to spend a week in Suzhou in May, and more travel in October, up to Beijing and surrounds when my parents come over to visit me for two weeks.
