took me 8 days to find them. Or I should say 8 years!

I got surgery in 2007 at the left knee, and had pain walking every day until I found thes Adidas Ultra Boost, a miracle. I don't want to wear anything else...

So I decided to go around the world in less than 90 days to loose weight and take a break after 11 years of hard hard work.

Preparing is exciting. I bought light quality stuff, which is not easy.

Finding shoes took 8 days. At the end I found the great Adidas Ultra Boost, super comfortable. The color really conflicts with my Rei zippered pants though.

Finding backpack took 5 days, tried some 30 models. I went with Talon 33, light but little pockets.

Vaccines: typhoid fever and hepatitis A. Picked up eventual malaria pills for Thailand.

Plane tickets Rome Abu Dabi Phuket Bangkok Sydney Auckland at AirTreks. Not sure it was a good choice, will see.

Hardest thing to leave behind: my laptop. Writing on a damn ipad, that's why I'm so short.

Leaving wife and son was terrible. Cried a lot. Miss them very much. Brought with me something from him to remember why I'm doing this.
