So here's some quick background information for those who don't know us. Annie and I live in Denver, Colorado. We've been married for 31 years, have 4 children and love to travel. Annie's been planning this trip for well over a year now and she's arranged everything herself - passports, visas, plane, boat, bus and train transportation, accommodations (hostels and staying in homes), day tours, shots and medicines, luggage, clothing, etc. We'll be gone for about 3 months and will be heading first to Iceland and then Finland, Estonia, across Russia on the Trans-Siberian railway to Siberia, then to Mongolia, China, Thailand and Cambodia.
