2011 Plans and happenings

The first post of my transferring blog series.

Phew!  Finally decided to get a start on this :)

I'm thinking about talking to a travel agent about planning my course.  Ideally I'll have around $10k for these travels.  Realistically I'm thinking only $8k.  We'll see how far I get with that!

Hoping to Couch Surf and stay with internet friends while I hop from country to country.  There are so many places I want to go!

Stateside I've been to:
Iowa, Ohio, Arizona, Colorado and Utah
Driven through: Nebraska, New Mexico, Indianna, Illinois, Kansas, and Wyoming

Plans this year:

• Drive to Iowa.  Visit friends from April 1st to 13th.  Give or take a few days on arrival/departure since that's "snow season" where I live.  $500/$500
• Tennessee in October? Visit friend. $500/500  I'll be flying there, and have pretty much free room and board :)
• Cruise in November?  Bahamas/Bermuda/Caribbean still tentatively planning.  $0/$500ish

Previously I've been:

                       INTERNATIONAL

• Scotland in 2006.  August I do believe?
• Flew to England, drove to Wales, drove to Scotland.  August 2009

                     Domestic

• Flew to Ohio in January 2009 (visiting family)
• Drove to Arizona in 2009 (Visiting family) stayed in Utah for a night.

I was born in Ohio, moved to Iowa, and am currently living in Colorado.  Have been so since 2003 roughly.

SO!  I'm hoping to leave in February 2012 and head to New Zealand or another southern hemisphere location.  Planning on multi-city flights.
But first, I need to renew my passport. Fix the car, and earn another $6k.  Big plans!

Wish me luck ~
If you're interested in hearing about previous travels, please ask.  I really don't mind blogging them out.  Mostly this will be for travels as they happen though.
