Bad Idea Jeans...

Good news: We now have posts up for the Swiss and French Alps. A bit late but worth the read. Even better news is that we'll have our Ireland adventures up soon as well (we hope we hope). Nothing like (relatively) cheap Dublin ghetto internet cafes to get the creative juices flowing. In the meantime a funny story from the less sexy part of the trip: trip planning.

Becca and I have been starting early discussions regarding the second major leg of our trip and contemplated figuring out a ground route (instead of flying) from Turkey to India and SE Asia in December. We started to get kind of excited about the 'romance' of overland travel and all the things we would see and experience on a trip like that. However, after actually consulting a map, we decided this might not be such a good idea after all. Not so much because of the weather (which would likely be dicey in the mountains at that time of year) but because potential routes would have us going through Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and possibly Kashmir. Somehow, I don't think this route would pass the Mom test. :-)

Hope all is well. And for none of you that care, the Ducks are 2-0. Quack, Quack.
