Around the world in 90 litres

Well this is our first post on our travel blog...Hmmm I think that means it's all really about to happen.
The house is packed and our bond returned, the car is sold and the turtle has been adopted out. We're down to these two backpacks. One 50L and one 40L (No prizes for guessing whos is whos) http://www.adventureone.com.au/OP%20Web/level3packs/ronald.htm
That's apart from all the wonderful family who have given us cupboard and shed space for our other worldly possessions. Cheers guys.
I suppose we ought to give a rundown of what we're hoping to do over the next couple of months. Keeping in mind it's all fairly vague to us as well.
On Monday we leave for Bangkok for three nights of relaxation (hopefully) before we meet the slightly more difficult task of navigating our way through Ukraine for three or so weeks. Mind you we were told many times that even getting a visa for Ukraine is extremely difficult and we managed it quite easily. Perhaps the difficulty we have had described to us regarding independent travel through Ukraine is overstated. Fingers crossed anyway.
After Ukraine we'll be moving on to Romania for about a month, we're leaving our plans fairly loose on this leg as Romania seems to have an awful lot to offer us and we just don't know yet how we're going about getting around etc. One suggested mode of transport is by horse and cart at the small cost of a couple of Romanian cigarettes. It will certainly be an adventure.
From Romania we need to make it to Sofia in Bulgaria by the 9th of October to catch a budget flight to Budapest, Hungary. There we will be catching up with Nug Dogg (aka Stuart) and Melanie who are passing through on their way from Scandinavia to China. After a few nights partying with those guys on the Danube it's another flight back to Sofia to continue exploring Bulgaria which promises to be a whole other kettle of fish, at least by this stage we'll be slightly familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet.
Somewhere between Bulgaria and Christmas we'll be heading to the UK to think about earning some pounds to further our adventures. We promise to try and perhaps maybe keep this blog up to date so hopefully maybe someday you'll hear from us soon.
