Hey folks, just read lost farmboys itinerary (which sounds fab) and thought id share mine, leaving next month and getting v excited.

Fly Inverness to London on the 26th of June then to San Francisco next day. We are then flying straight up to Vancouver (its gonna be a looooong day). We fly out of LA on the12th of August so are just going to tour about in west canada then wander the coast to seattle, san fran, yosemite and the like before flying to the cook islands for a few days chilling out time.

NZ next, plan on working there, then in beginning of dec we flit over to Oz til mid feb then its Vietnam, Cambodia (one of the places im most looking forward to) and Thailand before home about this time next year! We are keeping our plans pretty loose, we have some places we def want to go to but have decided its better just to decide on the road, plus we just arent that organised!

Would like to hear any comments thou or suggestions!

Sounds bloody wicked!! I'm so jealous of Cambodia, i had to cut it from my trip due to time constaints. Are you going to Angkor Wat while you're there??

Can't wait to hear all about it

Sounds like you're gonna have a blast!
You'll have to tell us all about it (and show us all the pix) when you come back!

BEST OF LUCK!

Make sure to let me know when you're in Vancouver. We'll grab some beer. Diorama also lives here in Vancouver, if she's around at that time maybe we could set up a TP Meet Up.

Lost Farmboy - Angor Wat is a def, looks amazing! Also Campot(think thats right) been told not to miss it. Im sure youll make it another time thou!

Pinion - Meeting up in Vancouver wuld be great, we'll be there from 28th til 4th July anyway and prob sometime later in the month to. Think some beers would be mighty fine!

We are staying at the SameSun Hostel, good or bad move?!

I've actually never heard of it before. The location is really good though, TONS of pubs/clubs right outside the hostel. Granville is a really happening place at night, get ready for a party. I'll ask around and see if I can dig up anything on it.

The Cambie is another really cool place, I love going there. Voyd stayed there in October and I didn't hear any horror stories from him about it.

That's a helluva trip.

Give us a shout when you're in San Francisco!
