WOW!!!! Really has it been that long already? Two months of travel. 60 days of being Vagabonds. April 29, 2017 we began this adventure. I thought today would be a great time to update everyone on the statistics of our trip to date. I know, for the people who know me it’s not too surprising that we have excel spreadsheets tracking various items.
- First of all, we are within budget – averaging $141.34 per day (based on day 59) We will be slightly lower at the end of today as we will spend less than our running average
- We have officially been to 9 countries – according to the travelers century club. The club recognizes some countries that are not actually countries in their own right, they are included because they are removed from the parent country, either geographically, politically or ethnologically. http://travelerscenturyclub.org
- We have dipped our feet into – the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, The North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean.
- We have seen 32 different castles in 3 different countries (that have Castle in their name not including palaces, estates or residences).
- We have stayed in 24 different hotels. These have included, hostels, B&Bs, standard hotels, guest houses, apartments and rooms to let over pubs.
I guess when you add all of this up you get 60 days of fun, adventure and really the reason we started doing this in the first place.
We have a lot more to go. Tomorrow we leave (at 5:30 AM) for Ireland and Northern Ireland. We will turn in “Scotty” our Scottish rental VW for another car in Dublin for an 11 day adventure before heading for Eastern Europe in mid-July.
