Family World Trip – Our Route

Pinterest

As we plan this trip, we’re refining our route. We’re also sure that when we’re traveling, we won’t stick to the planned route 100%. That said, we know we’re going to start in South America, go from there to South-East Asia and then on to China – with possibly a quick stop in Japan. From China we will continue through Central Asia to the Middle East and then Cairo. We plan to stop in Ireland to visit family on our way home to Seattle.
