In the planning process

Peter is spending hours on the Internet and I am busy telling family and friends about our upcoming trip. We are talking to anyone who has experiences in the places we will visit. We are reading travel books and magazines. I am keeping notes and we are both heeding the advise given. Only forty-four days until we begin. I will post a before photo, as I am sure we will both look a little haggard, but elated, when we return.
Where do we pan to go (for those of you who have not sat through the list too many times): Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, (Uruguay), Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, China.
