Making plans

Where Gary wants to get away from reminiscing and talk about the present – I am at the other end. I always think about the future, all those possibilities out there and come up with a string of ideas the could keep many an entrepreneur busy for years.

Of course I am also thinking in that way about our journey and its possibilities and options. I am already planning a route and am buying maps on eBay. Looking at a world map, London and Grafenrheinfeld (our destination in Germany) are nearly on the same height (does that makes sense geographically?)

I would like Gary to decide on a charity we can raise money for. Our friends, family and benefactors can set us challenges during trip and they will pay up if we achieve or people can just plain pay us anything between a penny or a pound per mile we have walked.

Perhaps we should get some sponsors to add to the money raised?? I am not fussy about logos on my back if that means dosh for a cause we are passionate about.

We have already decided that we are going to be technologically enabled pilgrims. We both love gadgets, so we are talking satellite navigation system, mobile phone, internet access, Ipods and camera with the least amount of chargers possible.
