Our trip is nigh, in 1 week we'll be in Hanoi. As we meet with people for what might be the last time before we hit the road, we're buffeted with more "When are you leaving?"s and "Where are you going"s than we can shake a stick at (I tried shaking a stick at some of them, but it didn't help). We've tried to keep our travel planning fairly flexible by design. Outside of our intercontinental flights and a hotel in Hanoi and Cairo, we have no concrete reservations. With that said, we've given a good amount of thought to the cities and sites we'd like to try to visit while we are traveling. Our flight plans gave us some structure that has allowed us to narrow down our itinerary without making it seem completely rigid.
I've gotten most of my inspiration for travel from just talking to friends. Some are prolific bloggers, like Jeremy who writes for Gadling (you can read his articles here), and another who while I don't think is currently writing but kept a substantial blog during a year long trip in 2008 through southeast Asia and New Zealand. Anyone who has visited any part of a country on our agenda has been more than forthcoming about sharing details about places to visit. We certainly won't lack for recommendations.
