Holy crap! that's alot of places. I'm looking at some of the visas and they range from 30d to 6 months. I think it'd be cool to stay at least as long as the visa :) if we can extend the visa, then great! I'd like to be able to recall what the country was like, even 10 years later... i say this because @ the end of my high school year, I went on a 1 mo europe trip (with other h.s. graduates) .. but we only spent like 3 days in each city.. and went to 8 different countries... so it was quite a whirlwind experience and i only remember bits and pieces...

I think this is good to start with... i was hoping that in the calendar, I could make plans to return to the states for burningman and maybe a week here and there for holidays to spend with family/friends.

SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!
