What I did
Planned a little trip
Although I'm keeping a lot of my schedule open for serendipity, I did need to put some kind of frame around this trip and book flights and adventures that I don't want to miss. Here is my current general outline:
May 6 - June 6: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Just being a Carioca.
June 6 - June 15: Chicago, USA. Quit my job. Get older. Line things up for my Euro-trip.
June 16 - July 19: Zagrab, Croatia to Athens, Greece. Traveling with the little sis Karen!!! Planning to see lots of Croatia and lots of Greece, and maybe some cool places in between!
July 19 - August 5: Turkey?? and more?? Still have this portion open
August 5 - 9: Berlin, Germany. Reunion of the Belize crew with Doro, Gina, and George!!
August 9 - 15: Budapest, Hungary. Sziget Music Festival! See the lineup here: http://www.sziget.hu/festival_english/programs2011 . Definitely meeting up with Aaron and Missi for a few of these days.
August 16 - 21: Northwest Hungary. Canoe trip down the Danube with fellow Couchsurfers: http://www.evezzvelem.hu/vizitura_cs2_2011_eng.php.
August 21 - 24: Back to Berlin??
August 24 - 27 (?): Chicago, USA. Pack up for Burning Man!August 27 - 29: Reno, NV. Prep for Burning Man, and put some money on 13 Black.August 29 - Sept 5: Burning Man Festival 2011!!! Finally gonna make a
burn...
Sept 5 - mid September-ish: Chicago, USA. Hug the nieces and nephews. Sleep.
mid-Sept - mid-Oct(??): More of Europe. Fly into Frankfurt, then head over to
Prague and some other places in the area. Also probably hit Oktoberfest
in Munich!
mid-Oct(??) - mid-Nov or mid-Dec(????): India and maybe SE Asia. Not sure yet
whether I'm going to try to get back home for Thanksgiving. If I do,
then I'll probably spend between Thanksgiving and Christmas in Hawaii.
If I don't, then I'll probably head from India over to the Thailand,
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam region.
Late December: Chicago, USA. I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me.
December 29 - March, April, May 2012(????): South America. Fly into Buenos
Aires. Probably make my way up the coast and hit Carnaval in Rio (Feb.
17 - 21). Want to see Columbia and Bolivia at some point. A lot of
this is still up in the air and will be dependent on my bank account, mood, and of course serendipity.
I also have a couple long shots that I'm considering:
Rock in Rio 2011 (late Sept. - early Oct. 2011) - Would need to find tickets, and it's a bit out of the way
Trans-Siberian Railroad (Fall 2011) - Would be a very cool way to get from Europe into Asia, but I don't think I'll have time to put logistics and visas together
South Side Irish Parade, Chicago, USA (March 2012) - Will it return??? Not counting on it...
As this schedule develops, I'll continue to update this post.
