Map of Trip

Around the World with Chris Cooke


View Larger Map

So, one of the things I've done is create a personal map on Google Maps, "Around the World with Chris Cooke"...pretty cool little feature. You can zoom in and out to different areas and see a little bit about my route and some of the places i am planning to visit.

Basic Plan is this: Fly into London, travel around Europe (Western/Eastern Europe), take Trans-Siberian railroad from Moscow to Beijing, explore Asia, head to Australia and NZ for some R & R before flying back to Los Angeles.

The map is public and a sketch right now (i think you can even add info on my map). However, it does give you an idea of some of the places and people I plan to visit. If you know of anyone in and around these areas, please let me know (as i hope this trip to be built around relationship).

I've spent a large portion of today putting together an online database of contacts and important phone numbers/emails. Not the most glamorous work, but fun to think through this vast, global network of relationships around you. Thankful for your friendship and help.

What are you doing in Macon, France? You should really try to get a meal in Lyon on your way through, gastronomic capital city of the gastronomic country of the world! Tim and I found a local place (ONLY for locals) in the old city where we got pigs feet and cow's stomach. Totally delicious. Also, it should go without saying, but try to taste some great Burgundy while you're there. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
