The title above is actually stolen from a recent episode of Dexter and that pretty much sums up the progress I have made over the last couple of months, I have merely been watching the clock ever so slowly count down.
One of the problems with attempting to plan for a trip so far in advance is there is only a certain amount you can actually plan. Hotel/hostel/flight websites only go a year in advance and why not, a year is a long time! so much could change over the next 20 months that I almost have no choice but to settle down and concentrate on other things until the time gets a lot closer and the picture becomes a lot clearer.
Small changes have occurred, Bangladesh is now on my radar, a relatively easy side trip from India and off the tourist trail as well. I am also warming to the idea of making the trip 1000 days, sounds ridiculous when you say it but it should be feasible, its under 3 years.
It seems there are lots of countdowns within the countdown and Christmas is up next, personally it becomes less of an event for me every year and merely benefits me financially with extra money at work. I haven't had the traditional family Christmas since 2006 now and looking ahead I can't see myself having one until 2016 at the earliest. Getting off the subject though I think that home life affects the decisions to travel so why not include it within a travel blog? where the connection lays with me is still something I haven't looked into too deeply and maybe thats for the best.
So 630 days or so to go, I wonder if this qualifies as the longest build up to something ever? If anyone is reading, I wish you a merry Christmas and hope 2011 (in my case 365 days I want to go as quickly as possible) works out well for you.
