Intro of Mark
Dave has done a good job summing up the trip. I can't believe we're actually going to do this! I quit my job working at Wachovia several months ago in June 2006 and moved back to Raleigh to work in the family biz for 4 months before departing on the trip in October. We leave October 14th and are going to travel up to a year or as long as our budget holds out. We will try to make this blog as interesting as possible so that people besides Dave and me actually view it.
Please let us know what sort of things you enjoy hearing about. If you want to see more pics of Dave with his shirt off, let us know. If you want to hear more about Dave's struggles with the Spanish language, let us know.
One of my goals is to visit all 7 continents and this trip will help me achieve that goal. We'll have been to 5 of 7 and possibly 6 of 7 if we go to Egypt.
Our overall goal is to try/experience new things. So along the way we may try to work, volunteer, meet locals, try local cuisine, hitchhike, write a book, learn to sail, make new friends, gain new perspectives, and so much more. This blog is where we plan to chronicle our journey.
As Dave said feel free to leave comments or email us.

Woohoo! I think you should take pictures of unusual food items you eat and unusual people you meet or vice versa.
Semper ubi sub ubi
I am telling you.. u should definitely add Turkey to your list! Once you visit Istanbul, you will have covered two continents in one shot! You can't find a better deal anywhere else in the world...
you can't say u've backpack the world if drop China from your list...
Rio, Shanghai...
Personally, I think you need to have backpacked Havelock to really say you've done it all.
I love that everyone has a suggestion. Maybe we shouldn't claim to be backpacking the world since we're not going to every single nook and/or cranny. Correction: We are planning to backpack a select few countries.
I DEFINATELY want more pics of dave with his shirt off LOL HYSTERICAL
Have a safe trip!
