First step-I've enrolled in Hostel International. Second step-I'm on the waiting list for a storage unit. Third+ steps-Since there are a ton guide books and 10x that much informationon the internet-I'm going to pick two or three series guides and mix and match the info. Rick Steve's is going to be the main guide series for planning the overall trip route (at least for the European part). Then I'll use Let's Go and the Hostel information as a lodging/transportation resource and the Lonely Planet Guides for things to do/see off the beaten path. I might reverse the reference order as I get to the other side of the planet. I still have lots of research to do. I do know that this trip will take place mostly in the off season and that will save a bit of $ here and there which is good because it's going to cost more than I thought. When I first started looking at the cost of RTW airfare, it was about half of what it is now and that was just a few months ago!
OK, so I want to put the call out to everyone now-I'm interested in collecting names and contact info for folks you may know throughout the UK and Europe who would have floor space for a night for a weary traveler. I'm also looking for contact info for jugglers, juggling festivals, letterboxers and letterboxing events in those places beginning around mid September (I don't have my real travel dates yet. This is a best guess) to January or February. My general plan is to start in the more northern part of the route and follow better weather south (sort of).
Live and be well.
