Introduction

This blog will track the preparation and progress of a journey from the Antarctic circle near the bottom tip of Argentina to the top of North America via the amazing island of Cuba and many other interesting places along the way such as Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama and the US. Some of the highlights for me will be spending time at Iguazu Falls, experiencing a Boca Juniors football match in Buenos Aires, kayaking with the whales in the Antarctic and attending a screenwriter's conference in Los Angeles!

Time off work

I have been really inspired over the last couple of days by watching a DVD of Charley Boorman's adventure from Dublin to Sydney called 'By Any Means'.

Today was a step forward for me. I had a meeting with my boss and we agreed that I would finish working the day before Xmas Eve and then use up my outstanding two weeks of holiday, which should take me into early January. From that point on, we agreed that I would take one year of unpaid leave. This means that when my year of travel and adventure was over, I would still be employed by my company, and be able to return to my old job, or apply for internal vacancies elsewhere within the organisation. So it looks like this project is going to become a reality!
