Booking the flights...

Well this is it, no turning back now:) As of today I am officially scheduled to leave on June 1st out of LAX to begin my world journey. My itinerary starts in Europe where I look forward to spending June, July and August exploring the cities of:
London
Paris
Amsterdam
Brussels
Bruges
Oostende
Bordeaux
Madrid
Lisbon
Porto
Malaga
Costa del Sol
Morocco
Valencia
Barcelona
Figueres
Nice/French Riviera
Antibes
Monte Carlo
Corsica
Geneva
Zurich
Lucern
Prague
Vienna
Milan
Venice
Florence
Siena
Rome
Naples
Capri
Pompeii
Bari
Athens

At this point in my trip I will head into Turkey and Egypt for the month of September touring the pyramids and the like before flying to Nairobi.

The following leg of my trip I will be taking an overland tour of East Africa's wildlife and coast including:
Nairobi
Masai Mara
Nakuru
Amboseli National Park
Tsavo West National Park
Mombasa
Shimba Hills/Diana Beach
Shimoni
Pangani
Saadani National Park
Bagamoyo
Dar es Salaam

I will then, hopefully, be teaching in Uganda for a bit before stopping in Zambia to visit Victoria Falls. From there I will fly to Johannesburg and to Dubai before my next destination: India.
I'll spend the month of November in India, again hopefully teaching at an American Montessori school just outside of Delhi.

My last scheduled stop is in Kathmandu where I will be working with a foundation which, with support, finances the $40 educational career of young girls to ensure they are not sold into slavery.

I will leave you with this on the first blog of many: It is only because of the generosity of many and variables outside of my control that this opportunity has been brought forth as a possibility. Thank you to all of you.
With gratitude and humility,
Ivy
