I leave Oct 19th for an around the world trip. I start in Tuscany for a week. Although I've been to Italy- many times, I'm ashamed to stay Ive never been. So the trip starts relaxing and drinking wine and touring vineyards, truffle hunting and eating. Next we move on to Istanbul for 2 nights which has been high on my list for a very long time. Moving on to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Maldives, Seychelles, 10 days in South Africa, Hing Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou and Im starting to plan my India portion. From there--- who knows- I keep moving East seeing every country I've ever dreamed of. Im not going to loe- Im tired just thinking about it. But it's going to be the single most rewarding, life changing experience I have ever done. Its consuming 5+ hours of my day to strategically piece everything together and research that Im not missing anything. Im in Tokyo this week, and I return I have 19 days to get my life together. I will be seeing 200 hotels- and I cannot wait. I am so excited. You have no idea.
