it's almost too much

this past week i've been gathering more in depth information for the trip.. the large scale itinerary (countries and length of stay for each one) is 90% defined, and the other 10% depends on the detailed itineraries for each country..

so what i'm doing now is studying each country: weather, high and low seasons, currency, average daily costs, visa requirements, regions to (or not to) visit, itineraries and other useful info.. it's a HUGE amount of information, so i'm trying to do a country each couple of days...

this is how i'm organizing it:
leg 1 (4 weeks): fiji, new zealand, australia
leg 2 (6 weeks): singapore + malaysia, thailand + laos + cambodia + vietnam, hong kong
leg 3 (4 weeks): india, south africa, egypt, greece

i'm not counting la or madrid, as i don't need plans for them!

there's a lot of work to be done with leg 2... today i had the idea of going to singapore, then take a train through malaysia into thailand... this in a week.. staying and exploring for a few days on each stopover... as far as i could see, the train it's pretty cheap, safe and comfortable..

i haven't planned from thailand on yet..

and as you can see, it seems i'll be traveling a couple of weeks more than i first planned..

dude, i'm tired..
