After quitting our jobs, selling our furniture, saying goodbye to our dear families and friends and the wonderful city of Austin, TX, we have set out to travel the world, or at least as much of it as we can. We hope our experiences and photos reach everyone back home.

6 Months on the Road!

On the 25th of October we passed our 6 month travel anniversary and thought we’d go back and publish a few stats on our journey thus far. Here’s a quick, completely statistical (and somewhat guessed at) breakdown of where we’ve been and what we’ve done:

Countries visited: 9
Borders crossed: 11
Cities slept in: 61
Hours on buses: 250
Hours on a boat or train or bike: 43
Hours on extended cab rides or 4 wheel drive vehicles: 37
Hours in flight: 59
Distance behind the wheel: 8720km (5406 miles)
Number of airports slept in: 2
Total number of books read: 24

After all of that, we are still alive and moving on for more! We're just finishing up a nice stay in Phuket, Thailand and early tomorrow morning we head to another Thai island called Ko Samui. Also, we just updated our Flickr site with more photos from Thailand. Enjoy!
