fly from Georgia to Moscow, then take the Trans Siberian to Beijing and work your way down through Tibet to Nepal

I'll definitely have to look into that, because it seems like it could be damn fun way to traverse an area I didn't even think of going through.

Otherwise, I was thinking that flight was my only option, though I hear that you can generally get little puddlejumpers for a decent price over there.

I'm a bit nervous, but not as much as I am excited to get away and see everything. Even moreso to experience everything from such a perspective with no necessities in timing. Now, in the next few months I just need to make some friends in random locations reduce the cost of the trip. (Already have London, and Singapore covered!).

Oh and on a side note. One time I was in a rural area in Mexico, when a great dane (obviously angry with us for one reason or another) started charging myself and two others from about 100m away. I swear it would have taken a train to stop this beast....well, a train or a little girl screaming and chasing after it with a giant rock over her head. I believe this little girl saved much gnashing of teeth.

So if you were wondering....from a few pages back....that rock thing really does work upon occassion. =)

Thanks again for the info, I'm sure I'll post more questions as they come to me. =D
