Now that the departure date is drawing to a close, (only 84 days left) people slowly start wondering about the most important issues of our travel.
Ellis (for information: Vera’s sister who spends most of her time and money on buying clothes): But if you have only one backpack, how are you going to handle taking all your clothes? And how many clothes are you going to take? Not much I guess…
Jean-Christophe: I was wondering about one thing during the world trip… How are we going to do it with the food?
Luckily Superwoman is still there to take care of the really important stuff, such as booking the tickets (ok, one has to be fair, Jean-Christophe helped with this), taking care of administrative stuff, demanding visa, organising train tickets for Russia, etc.

Now this article is especially dedicated to Rachel, who thinks that organizing and doing a world trip is “just the same thing as organizing your holidays”. Let’s have a look at this statement a little closer in this article.

Finally the first (important) step for our worldtrip has been done: we bought a photo camera. Now for those of you who do not know Jean-Christophe that well, it took Vera quite some of her best conviction techniques to make him see that a worldtrip is actually a good thing because it would give him some real excuse to invest in a new, far too expensive photo camera.
To put it in his language:
“IF worldtrip
THEN photo camera”
So yesterday we went for the n-th time to a camera store “just to see what they look like”. This article is a tentative to describe what went through our heads while at the store…
