Route Plan 2010 UK - Australia
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
We originally decided to travel south via Europe to Turkey and onward to Iran, Pakistan and India. The idea being we would then head for Thailand and Malaysia, eventually shipping vehicles and flying ourselves from somewhere within this region. But, when it came to hard core decision-making and the reality that we will most likely get just one chance at this, we changed our minds! Instead, the allure of a more unknown path (for us!) began to beckon i.e. Russia, Mongolia and China.
Our months of transit look something like this:
April - May 2010
From UK - Eastern Europe
June - July 2010
Russia - Mongolia
August 2010
China
September - December 2010
Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia
January 2011
Australia
Timings are approximate and could be subject to some changes.

Hi All,
Hope everyone is well.
How was your trip? No we can’t enter Burma with a foreign vehicle unfortunately. Will be great to see you all in Thailand. We are starting to get very busy with planning and preparation now - phew - it will be a relief once we are on the road finally.
All the best and big hugs from Jess and AJ to Laura.

Hi Barbara, we haven’t forgotten you and Jessica was wondering what happened to ‘family who met the Obama’s with the two little boys. Glad you are enjoying the updates. Lots of love from all of us here. We have loaded Jessica’s diary in the Summer Shakedown section if you’d like to see.

Nice trip you will do. Two families with two cars with wagons will make it hard to find a hostplace (helpex or wwoof). Maybe you will find it. But that will not be so easy. Too many people to get social interaction at for a short time.
Russians very nice people. But be carefully. Russia is not the west.
Hope you will have a very nice journey. Sometimes I will go to Mongolia.
