“How long ya reckon we need for the trip Steve?”

“I reckon 6 months, giving us time and space to do everything and allowing for any unforseen circumstances.”
“Sounds fair mate. I will book my leave, as soon as I know when you want to go.”
“I was thinking September/October.”
“Ok, sounds ok ta me.”

With that, plans are made; and we are all in to the travel mode.

We decide to go to Japan first then India then the USA. We thought about coming home and having a break but we would rather keep on moving.
We upgraded our mobile phones that we can use anywhere in the world. We buy shoes that are slip on. Three pairs, one for fun, one for casual wear and one for going out. Clothes we decide to take a mix and match approach. We will wear a business class look on the plane, (minus a tie) and the rest we will be casual wear. Jocks, socks and the like we will keep to a minimum, as we will purchase those as is needed.
A decent digital, video camera, capable of still photos, with ample memory, a laptop with internet access and plenty of space on it. My MP3 player and of course gifts.
Kev packs the suitcases. We have one each, plus a smaller suitcase for all the gifts we have decided to take. By doing this we figure that we have 2 cases of clothes and shoes and one of stuff that customs may want to check, thus stopping our personal stuff from being spread all over the place.

We also take two small bags for the laptop and for personal things; we may need as we go.

I arrange traveller’s cheques, cash and the two Visa debit cards, linked to the main account, thus ensuring we have sufficient funds no matter what.
We choose to leave at the end of October. I would like to be in Japan for Cherry Blossom. I remember it from way back in 1990.

As our departure date is nearing, I email those that we are going to visit and all seem quite excited at the thought of a visit from a couple of Aussie blokes just looking for a good time.
