Few hours to go :)

And here it is! The day has finally arrived :) We are leaving in few hours!
The excitement is now palpable and the euphoria is rising :) I just cannot stop smiling :)))

We hardly slept at all these few days (6 hours tot in the last few days), and judging from our schedule we will hardly sleep till tomorrow evening :D But I'm fully awake and running with energy :)

So, here's our last post before the big trip.


SUMUP:
- 2 Hiking backpacks:  45L and 55L, each 14kg
- 2 Daypack: 15L and 7,5L , each 4,5 kg
- 1 Camera pack

So...each of us 20kg and let's go!

Read more if you wish to see what we're taking with us and our schedule ;)

How to plan a transibirian trip on your own # 1 - DECISION

Whenever our big plan was mentioned the most common reaction was a single question: "How did you decide to do such a journey?".
The answer to that question is anything but simple. There's no way to even tell when it began forming as an idea. But one thing is for sure - if you fall in love with it, all you have left to do is decide: "I'M DOING IT". :)
At least that's simple! :)

Once you say that to yourself and you feel the excitement at the bare thought, all the rest will just fall into place. Sooner or later you will find the resources, time and company to do it. In my case, that process lasted 5 years. And here I am, at the verge of doing it. :)

Before we leave, I'd like to leave our fresh impressions of how it was all planed. Hoping it will be of help to all those that wish to take up such a journey.
