Getting Started

I'm back from The Great Mediterranean Adventure, nine weeks in the Middle East, and I'm ready to get started on my next adventure.  Guess I have the travel bug bad!  For this trip I'll start in Istanbul and end up in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.  This is the first time I will fly around the world.  It will be 125 days of overland travel.  I depart March 28, 2013.  I'll be back on August 2nd.

I chose Dragoman Tours out of London because of their reputation, itinerary, and value.  The planning part if pretty much done as the tour company takes care of all the arrangements.  My job is to get my visas in order for Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, and Mongolia.  That part so far has been daunting.  Several of these countries require a Letter of Invitation.  Thankfully I'm getting help with that too.
