General Outline of the Trip Locations

I fly out of OKC on April 1 and arrive in Madrid where I will spend a couple of days with a friend and her husband.  I will then travel north and walk about 150 miles on the Camino de Satiago, an ancient pilgrimage to a cathedral that supposedly houses the remains of St. James.  This will be a big time of prayer and reflection... and walking... a lot of walking.  I will spend a couple of days on the northwestern coasts of Spain, then travel down through Portugal, then to southern Spain.  From there, I will go to Paris, and then Germany, then Switzerland.  I will backpack through the Swiss Alps, then go to Lichtenstein, Austria, the Italian Alps, Venice, Rome, Greece, and Istanbul, Turkey where I will be meeting up with some friends for a few days.  I will leave there on June 3, and head to Scotland where I will have a 2 day layover to enjoy, then back to OKC on the 5th.  I depart with my sister, Sarah, her husband, and a group from their church to do a short term mission trip in Honduras, then they all leave me, and I will plan to work my way in no particular pattern or time frame to Argentina, where I have some friends.  I plan to be gone and living out of my backpack for about a year.  That could be shorter or longer depending on about a million circumstances.  I will be traveling mostly by train, bus, and boot while not crossing large bodies of water, and will be couchsurfing through Europe and whenever I can in Central and South America to save money, and get a shower every now and then.  I have no intention of growing dreadlocks or wearing tie dye.  I may see how well a beard grows in...
