On Sunday, February 5, 2017, we fulfilled our biggest longshot goal (by a mile) and landed on Easter Island.

With some foresight, we made sure […]
[Recapping our trip, 265 days in] On Monday, January 23, 2017, we traded in our New Zealand rental car for a Spaceship.

[Recapping our trip, 227 days in] Thursday, December 22, we headed from Nepal to India. We only had a couple days in India, primarily to catch our (incredible world-class) flight to Australia.

[Recapping our trip, 224 days in.] From Myanmar, we treated ourselves to a rest week in Bangkok, where we were able to find a nice one-week apartment rental at a dirt cheap price.
