So, like a piece of string, then!!
Thanks all,
Perhaps I should have explained that we're not going on the RTW trip until 2008, as my partner's youngest daughter can't be left at home until then, and we don't want to take her with us!! Perhaps that will explain the "over planning" situation...
I appreciate all of the comments, and sentiments, expressed and guess that it confirms my own view - but I wanted to ensure we weren't setting ourselves up to fail or to put too much pressure on. With 26 months of travelling looking like what we'll need to do what we want to do, it feels about right.
Oh, and we have a trip round Eastern Europe planned for next August to give us more experience. We've already done a 3-week, 3,000 mile trip round Europe last year, but it was the collective experience of the folk here I wanted to tap into - guess the phrase "we're all individuals" applies!!
Anyone else care to share Mika's approach and share what you actually did?
Paul
