The truth is out there… although it isn’t as interesting as we’d hoped. After spending time at Burning Man and in Las Vegas we felt we had probably come as close as possible to encountering alien life forms. But that wasn’t going to stop us trying our luck on the Extraterrestrial Highway.
So, where do you plan on going? Um. From Deadhorse, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina… At some point it becomes necessary to pad out the details between those two places. We feel that the time to do that will probably be when we are already on the road.
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a trusted friend—Our 1994 Hilux Surf.
Some cheap airfares made it possible to take a pre-trip trip to Australia to catch up with friends and family and to have a bit of a break from work. The first week of our trip was spent exploring Melbourne with our good friend Phillipa as our tour guide. We spent some of our time wandering around the central city, but also set aside a few days to visit some of the surrounding areas.
