Well, we did it. We sold most of our furniture, packed up the rest of our stuff into 2 mini vans, and said goodbye to New York, our home for the past year and a half and our first home together. We had pretty much the best year and a half imaginable and it’s hard to believe that the next year and a half will probably be even better, more exciting, and filled with even more adventures.
The visa process for Thailand was pretty much the opposite of the India visa process. As scary, intense, and stressful as that was, getting a visa for Thailand literally took 2 seconds. I was worried that I didn’t do everything or didn’t have all the forms because they asked for so little.
Ok, maybe not scary, but the application process for our India visa was definitely extremely intense. We’ve gotten a few of our visa’s already and typically, you fill out a pretty standard application, go to the consulate, wait in a long line, and then come back a week (or something) later to pick up your completed visa.
Not for India.
I’m definitely taking these with me on my trek to Everest Base Camp!
We had the best time with Moira and Bruno, our Couch Surfers from Buenos Aires. On top of this great thank you note, they also got us chocolate from Argentina and a book all about Buenos Aires to help us plan our trip there. We already can’t wait to visit them in August!
Last year Google Street View went beneath the oceans so this year Google decided to take Street View to the top of the World.
Inspired by their love of mountaineering, a few Googlers decided to capture Street View imagery for Google Maps from some of the world’s tallest peaks, including Everest Base Camp. Beyond excited for this. Hope I can make it to the top 
Today I decide to re-tackle this Florianopolis to Buenos Aires situation. It’s the only leg of the trip that I hadn’t quite figured out yet, and now I see that it’s because it’s much more complicated than any other bus trip we’ll be taking.
