Day minus 26: The outline itinerary...

Monday May 18, 2009

GP: OK... I have a confession for today... I've turned into a total monster on the planning of this trip.... it's probably all going to fall apart once we start, but at least I've done my bit to help it fall apart...!!!

Google Docs have helped me a lot... I've been doing most of the work on there, as I can access it from anywhere, and I know it's always the latest version.

Below is a summary of the itinerary... there's a lot more information on the actual spreadsheet (hotel names, addresses, tel numbers, emails, whether it's booked or not, URLs.... need I go on...???)... but all that may be boring to you guys, so I've left it out.

If you would like a copy of the spreadsheet I've been using (for whatever reason), comment/email me and I'll send it along...

btw, the trip to and from HK is LLLL, as he's coming from there... though his version of the planning theory is just a little different to mine. Even my planning monster theories have not rubbed off on him very much... he booked the flight last week and hasn't ordered his saddlebag yet.

The Great Pathfinder.
