		<description><![CDATA[Okay, sorry for the delay in our writing; we&#8217;ve been busy adjusting to our life back in the states. But, I hope you are now ready for the extremely exciting and much anticipated budget post.
When we were researching our trip one thing that we could not find was any type of good world travel budget. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Embarking on this trip was no simple feat. We believe hitting the road would be significantly more difficult without the help of our RTW saviors. Here´s a shout out to those folks that are storing our belongings and caring for Lucy.
Sylvia and Dave
We are not sure how we will ever be able to repay Sylvia [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When planning RTW travel, one of the most complicated matters to settle is whether to purchase RTW tickets through one of the large airline alliances (OneWorld or Star) or piece together one-way tickets all on your own. Ticketing through one of the alliances is a crazy, complicated endeavor. I am still dumbfounded at how anyone manages [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, we have been trading off on the sleepless nights. Well, actually Chris has only had one&#8211;but I often wake him during mine so I count that as though we are in the same boat. Concerns over how far we can stretch our funds seems to be the highest ranking, but it is the thoughts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since we are leaving for a year, we really needed to whittle down our possessions. This a necessity for storage reasons, but it also just makes me feel good ridding ourselves of excess baggage. Overall our yard sale worked out pretty well; we advertised online using craigslist, and we put up signs the day of to entice some [...]]]></description>

I am projecting about nine months ahead and planning our adventure on the Trans-Mongolian Railway. We are really looking forward to seeing the vastness of Mongolia and Siberia by rail and are expecting some interesting experiences sharing a cabin with some fellow travelers. We plan to be in Beijing, China, mid to late April 2009 to catch the train [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each day we grow more concerned about our funding flows. It seems we are hemorrhaging money like water through a fire hose. We are not spending our money on one thing alone, but spattering it everywhere. Budgeting for a trip around the world is not an easy task. When we set our plan in motion, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I think we might need a few gadgets for our trip, mostly for documenting our experiences and planning our trip while on the road. The gadgets must meet the following criteria: small, lightweight, and (most importantly) cheap.
Photos
Right now we own a couple of digital cameras. I am taking the Canon SD850 IS, which is compact and takes [...]]]></description>

We plan to hit most of the highlights of the countries that we are visiting. If you have any suggestions of places that are a &#8220;must see&#8221;, please feel free to comment.

When we got serious about our travel planning, my good friend, Kate, sent me a link to a couple&#8217;s travel blog that she thought I&#8217;d enjoy. [...]]]></description>
