So life as contemporary nomads officially begins in Hong Kong. First stop Mirador Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui, mecca for budget travelers. We spent our first two nights in Cosmic Guesthouse (booked from Germany) in what appeared to be a slightly spruced up prison cell with the craziest shower I have ever seen. It had 5 shower heads – like some kind of medieval torture device. Despite the amazing shower experience, we decided to switch to “Well Yet Hotel.” Still a small room, but much nicer and brighter – and, at $32 a night, the price is right in one of the world’s most expensive cities.

We even spent our last moments in the country at the Airbrau, the beer garden in the Munich airport. Only in Bavaria would people see you off at 11 AM with beer and pretzels.

During our six-hour trip south to Ulm, Tony was constantly complaining because I refused to take side trips up some mountain roads to see castles and old walled cities. For crying out loud, we were in a truck! Medieval towns were soon forgotten when my family welcomed us with a huge barbecue.

My last day of work was Thursday, and Thomas’ was Friday. Solid employment is behind us now as we take the plunge into the unknown. We’re 21st century nomads now – nomads without horses or camels. Instead, we have backpacks and cameras and one seriously overdeveloped love of travel. But don’t worry about us, these nomads use their wits and creativity to survive, we won’t be grazing goats or herding yaks to survive… or will we? Oh my god, what have we gotten ourselves into ?!?
