If you are interested in the logistics of planning a crazy adventure like this, you can read about how we decided to travel round the world , why we planned our trip , my pre-trip freak out, mid-trip giddiness , and all the nifty gear we take with us (including packing lists ).  Recently, our trip changed from a one year adventure to a three year extravaganza involving us, our dogs, and our car trekking across the ocean to Europe in July 2011.
