Three months today!

I guess that with 3 months to go I should pop up a bit of an update as this blog is a useful reference for those with whom we are staying. The itinerary stands thus:

Sunday 21st April - Perth to Tokyo via Sydney. 3 nights in Tokyo staying at Tama Ryokan, Takadanobaba nr Shinjuku.

Thursday 25th April - Tokyo to Athens via Zurich. 3 weeks island hopping. The initial plan of being independent, backpacking types took a bit of a turn with us booking a 5 nights stay to a really nice hotel in Santorini and flying there from Athens. I'm sure we'll try to be a bit more "back-packy" after that!

Weds 15th May - Athens to Manchester, via Heathrow. Staying in North Duffield with my cousin.

Sunday 19th May - Cheshire to maybe kill Zombies and catch up with friends. A Beatles based tourist experience should be in order whilst we are on the wrong side of the Pennines.

Sunday 26th May - to Brittany with our most excellent friends, the Buckleys, for a week. With a day trip to Paris thrown in for good measure if I can get cheap train tickets.

Sunday 2nd June - back to Britain.

Wednesday 5th June - to London for a long weekend, staying in Highbury with the most wonderful Johnathon & Stuart. Tickets booked for Matilda in the West End.

Sunday 9th June - back to Yorkshire for a few days, maybe with a side trip to Cambridgeshire to visit family.

Thursday 13th June - fly to New York, via Zurich. Staying at New York Budget Hotel for 6 nights which is nice and central near the Empire State Building.

Wednesday 19th June - fly to Washington DC for 4 nights. Staying at this place which is about as central to the tourist bits that we can afford.

Sunday 23rd June - To Orlando for 11 nights staying in Crescent Lakes in our "Bargain of the Holiday". We will have 5 days in Disney and 3 days at Universal Studios. I want to go to Kennedy Space Centre but no-one else shares the love for this notion. Harrumph!

Wednesday 3rd July - To San Diego. Spending Independence Day with our good friends the Arnolds. Hopefully watching the fireworks in San Diego, hopefully they will last longer than last years when someone pressed the wrong button and every firework went off at once rather than over 30 minutes. Ooops!

We will have a side trip to Vegas and the Grand Canyon from 8th to 13th July before heading off to San Francisco on Monday 15th July.

We return to Perth via Sydney on Sunday 21st of July after leave San Francisco on Friday 19th. We lose Saturday somewhere over the Pacific Ocean!

And there you have it 13 weeks of travel, all very exciting and creeping closer by the day.
