Hello everyone!

Welcome to our travel blog! We will try to update it with our thoughts and photos as often as possible, and will look forward to hearing from you all through it too.

If you want to see a more detailed map, there is one on google maps that follows our route as closely as possible and shows dates and other info along the way:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=112627516491623203432.00044e83bd21e7930ee4f&ie=UTF8&z=2

Or type in Debbie and Alex's round-the-world trip to a google maps search. You need to get this exactly right, and google is quite temperamental (it often doesn't find our map) so don't worry if you can't get on it first time!

Seven weeks tomorrow until take off!

Love to all,

Debbie and Alex xxx
