Planning, packing and organizing...:)

Today we`ve been organizing and packing the whole day. Bjørn Christian has booked the tickets for New York on the 10th of October, with return from New York to Oslo 20th of June 08. All the tickets in between will be booked along the way. Oddbjørg has been packing like a God the last days, and we literally live in Ikea-boxes at the moment. Expecting the coming days to be just as busy and stressful as the last ones, but no crying here in Olaf Bulls vei - soon we will be off, heading for the WORLD! It`s definitly a nice carrot to jump for! Thank you everybody for giving us tips! This journey will be so much better because of you!

Love, BC + Oddbjørg

Off we go.....soon! ;)

Hi everyone

Welcome

We are happy to introduce you all to our new website, or more correctly, the blog: "Tour the World 07/08"!

We are so thrilled and thankful, that we really are going to make our dreams come true - to travel the world around. We feel priviliged to be able to make this happen and to share the desire of travelling, meeting new people and culture understanding.
We will be travelling for about 9 months. The 10 th. of October we`ll start the journey. We will be back in Norway the 21. of June 08.

Today it`s only 31 days left until we`re off to New York, which will be our first stop on our way around the world.

Must say we both are extremely excited and have lots of thoughts going on in our heads right now. It is quite a stressful situation nowadays to plan, arrange, pack and focus ahead on the next chapter of our lifes. At the same time we certainly feel this may be the best period of them all - "waiting for the miracle to come" (Cohen)..... :) This is definitely a special time, we`re planning on were to go, reading of places to see, and thinking of the projects we`ll having during the trip.

What has happened and what happens next?

We have recently had a nice good-bye-party. Thanks to all who came! We appreciated it a whole lot!
The appartment and the car are sold. Nothing holding us back, at least not any of the material stuff. The 25 th. of September we will have our things moved to Halden were we have our stockings, the 29 th. of September we will give the keys to the new owners of Olaf Bullsvei 21 which is almost unbearable. So sad, but necessary :( We have had 3 fantastic years at Voksenskog so it will be quite hard to leave. The 30 th. of September we`ll be running the "Halvmaraton" in Oslo, October 1 th. I will be off to Trondheim to visit my familiy and to help giving birth to several of piglets. I will stay there until October 10 th. Then I`ll meet Bjørn Christian at Gardermoen and "Tour the World" starts!
