What an experience! I agree no one should shrink from such an epic venture; once you begin, everything runs almost smoothly with soluble hiccups. The route must be planned, documents acquired for border crossings. Of course hassles and dangers cannot be foreseen but with common sense all could turn out well. One thing we all agree is that the people of every country are helpful and nice, at times going out their ways to assist travellers. We made many friends. Sloan and Amy have reasons to travel at a young age and this is a wise decision for I know they will do it again; the experience will linger on and the urge will pull them out again. No books can ever tell you the experience that you gain. All the best to you. We were restless after successful careers and the children were on their own when we decided in our late fifties to drive around the world. We are thinking of going out again, perhaps for a longer duration.
