This summer (and some of the fall!), we are taking the incredible sabbatical trip that we\u2019ve been talking about for so long. For years now, we\u2019ve been planning this adventure (well, Husband has), and this summer \u2013 THIS FRIDAY! \u2013 we finally get to start it. You might have guessed by now that that epic google maps screenshot at the top of the page is a map of our route. Here it is again:<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none \" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/uploads185418543868sabbatical_1_orig.png\" alt=\"Picture\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\u200bI knowww. For 3 \u00bd months, we are taking the Trans Mongolian Railway throughout Russia to Mongolia and China, and then traveling all around China and through the Silk Route and overland back to Western Europe. It\u2019s almost as crazy as how much stuff I\u2019m trying to cram into my backpack! Yes, we are backpacking, and staying at hostels (and lots of yurts in mountains!), which we haven\u2019t done in a long time (or ever in the case of mountain yurts alongside Mongol families) so it\u2019s an adventure in every way.<\/p>\n<p>This Friday, we fly to Helsinki, our last flight until the very end of September, and on Saturday we catch our first of many, many, so many trains, this one to Saint Petersburg, which means that that entire train ride I will be singing the following lyric from \u201cNatasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812\u201d, which is simultaneously impressive for the very high falsetto from Lucas Steele but also f-ing hilarious for the very high falsetto from Lucas Steele:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wsite-youtube\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<div class=\"wsite-youtube-wrapper wsite-youtube-size-auto wsite-youtube-align-center\">\n<div class=\"wsite-youtube-container\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gZKCdgtSMU0?wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">Sorry Husband I know that\u2019s going to get RILL annoying rill fast but who could help it! Actually I\u2019m going to be singing a LOT of \u201cThe Great Comet\u201d throughout Section 1 of our trip. For instance, after PETERSBUURRRRRG I\u2019ll be imitating Grace McLean\u2019s scary shouty belt of \u201cWELLLL WELLLL WELCOME TO MOSCOW!!!\u201d God I\u2019m so excited I LOVE when musical theatre provides the soundtrack to my whereabouts. (It\u2019s gonna be so fun when we finally go to Buenos Aires.) I\u2019ll also have a lot of \u201cAnastasia\u201d to work with, because I\u2019ma need courage to not desert me but especially because my grandfather just told me literally 3 weeks ago that one of his parents was from Russia so it\u2019s like a journey to the past. Didn\u2019t know! Ya Rooskii!! So our first month, the Russia month, is like go to old country for me. P.S. that\u2019s as good as my Russian is after we\u2019ve been taking it for 2 years in preparation for this trip. I can pretty much just say \u201cWhere is the toilet?\u201d and then speak English in a very comical Russian accent I hope they don\u2019t srow zee acid in zeh face.<\/p>\n<p>For the first week of our trip, our cousin Adam is meeting us! So fun! He was one of the OG\u2019s at Weebly, which hosts this very blog [ed. note: not anymore! hello WordPress my new friend], so hopefully he can help me bypass any blocks and post updates! After Petersburg and Moscow, we train on through to Vladimir, Suzdal, Yekaterinburg, and Irkutsk in Russia. Then, we minibus for like a whole day (ahhh where do I peeeeee) to Olkhon Island, which is a pain in the ass to get to but everyone says once you get there it\u2019s so worth it. I\u2019m so excited. I hope it\u2019s not too cold to swim in the lake. After we hypotherm it up, we train to our last stop in Russia, Ulan-Ude, before entering Ulan Bator, Mongolia, WHERE THERE IS A LOVING HUT. By that point in our travels, I will be so excited to find an all-vegan restaurant that I don\u2019t even care that Loving Huts make you swear allegiance to the cult of the Supreme Master before they give you delicious food that all tastes the same no matter what you order.<\/p>\n<p>Once in Mongolia, we will be celebrating the annual national festival of Naadam. Naadam celebrates the \u201cthree games of men\u201d \u2013 wrestling, horse racing, and archery, which (aside from the horse racing which I am crossing my fingers is non-violent but when is horse racing ever non-violent?) is a hilarious concept to base a festival around. I hope Robin of Loxley shows up for archery and I can yell about how someone split Robin\u2019s arrow in twaaaaain. In Mongolia (I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m going to Mongolia), we are meeting up with our crazier-than-us friend Sivani from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everthewayfarer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ever the Wayfarer\u00a0<\/a>because when you say to the California-based Sivani \u2018hey we should hang out again soon\u2019 she says \u2018sure I will meet you in Mongolia that would be easiest for me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After Mongolia, we finish Section 1 by training to Beijing, where we begin Section 2 \u2013 literally all of China. Well I guess not <em>literally<\/em> all but we have more than 40 days there so we are seeing a shittonne of it. Right now, the only song I can think of to provide the soundtrack is Tori Amos\u2019s \u201cChina\u201d which is kind of a downer so if anyone can make some suggestions I definitely need them. (Am I having a total brain fart or are there no China-based musicals? Booo.) We\u2019re visiting Beijing, Shanghai (bunsssss! I want steamed bunssss), Nanxun, Hangzhou, Huangshan, Guilin, Yangshuo, Chengdu (origin (not) of my dad\u2019s Chinese restaurant staple, Chengdu triple delight!), Xi\u2019an, and then through the western border via Urumqi and Kashgar. I\u2019m gonna see giant pandas!! And so much other stuff. A lot of stuff. It\u2019s hard to wrap my head around anything past Moscow right now but hopefully I will figure out a way to blog while in China or at least very soon after we leave so I can share everything we do.<\/p>\n<p>We exit China into Kyrgyzstan, which honestly I didn\u2019t know was a real place until we decided to go there. We have a lot of hikes and a lotttt of horseback riding in Kyrgyzstan because that is how they get from place to place, and no matter how much I don\u2019t want to do that, you have to in order to visit this country [ed. note: you don&#8217;t! we got around that! we walked!]. The beautiful, remote places we will get to should make it worth it. After almost 2 weeks in Kyrgs, we bus (peeee???) into Kazakhstan, which we are really excited about because we are going to make sooooo maaaaany Boooooraaaat jooooookes. They will hate us but man alive is that going to be hilarious just to the two of us. Chinqui!<\/p>\n<p>After Kazakhstan, we will be going to Uzbekistan, so by this point our trip is a huge challenge for Herman Cain to talk about. We see all the things (it\u2019s not until SEPTEMBER I can\u2019t fit the details in my brain just yet) before returning to Moscow via Volgograd to catch the train to Kiev, Ukraine. We are going to visit Chernobyl when there, which seems a little scary because of radioactivity but we decided to do it because who knows how much longer the planet has left anyway. From Kiev, we take the train to Warsaw, Poland, which I am really excited about because I\u2019ve never been to Poland and that\u2019s where the other half of my paternal ancestors are from (the maternals are all eye-tals it\u2019s a spicy meataball! I\u2019m so good at accents of my people). More of I go to old country! Finally, after Poland, we take our 500th and final train (at least of this trip) to Berlin, Germany, one of our favorite cities in the world, where Husband and I got engaged and the vegan food is beyond belief. Even though we won\u2019t be there for three and a half months, I already know what I\u2019m ordering from that all-vegan French bakery. Oh and vegan doner kebab! I\u2019m going to be hungry. I have so many nuts and protein bars in my backpack.<\/p>\n<p>From Berlin, we fly back to London, where we will probably have to be reacclimated to normal life like astronauts when they come back from space except hopefully we will have gotten better, not worse, at walking.<\/p>\n<p>Jeez I\u2019m tired just talking about everything we\u2019re going to do! It\u2019s going to be quite a challenge for me considering I\u2019ll be doing without my four favorite things in the world (sleep, television, gyms, green smoothies with Vega) but I think I will be better for it. (Ha you thought I was going to say theatre but we already have amazing tickets for the opera and the ballet in the next two weeks dance dance dance emojis!)<\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s kind of scary to be going to some of these places at this turbulent time. And I realize how, um, awkward it is to be going to Russia when their involvement in the election is the top issue right now (and should be until it\u2019s resolved). But as we learned in the last month, it\u2019s just as safe, or not safe, in London as it is anywhere we could go. We\u2019re all at risk of some sort as soon as we get out of bed each day, but we can\u2019t let that fear dictate how we live our lives, because a sheltered unexamined life is easily wasted (although there is a good Broadway musical song extolling its virtues hello \u201cWicked\u201d shoutout). I know that\u2019s high talk coming from me, since I am the biggest scaredycat and worrywart (#scaredywortworrycat) out there, but I want to travel and I want to have fun and see the whole world and I can\u2019t do that from my couch, as much as I love couch. You have to do stuff, is what I\u2019m saying, and live your life without fear of the worst possible outcome, because all the other outcomes are pretty great, and regardless I think we\u2019re all in some version of The Matrix anyway.<\/p>\n<p>But on that note, I\u2019m not going to be writing about any political issues or anything controversial in places like Russia and China, at least not while I\u2019m in their jurisdiction. As outspoken and political as I am, it would be beyond stupid to risk anything in countries whose freedom of speech laws are more restrictive than I\u2019m used to.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure about the internet connection I\u2019ll have over the next 3 \u00bd months, and when I do have internet, I\u2019m not sure which sites will be blocked (except for in China, where I know everything is blocked). I\u2019ll do my best to blog as much as I can, so make sure to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laughfrodisiac.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keep checking back on the home page <\/a>for updates (that\u2019s the best way, because I know facebook and twitter updates will be hard if not impossible, and Weebly doesn\u2019t have a program for sending emails to subscribers when new posts are up (dammit Adam!)).<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s the big exciting news! What an adventure it will be! Be sure to follow along. And if you have been to any of the places we are going to, please comment or email (link at top) with any tips, advice, and recommendations you have!
