Several people have asked us where in the world is Mongolia. As you can see on the map, it borders Russia to north and China to the south, east and west. It is one of the largest land-locked countries in the world.
Our trip itinerary is marked on the map with our dates for coming and going around the country. We will be in Ulan bator or Ulaan baatar several times. We think we will have internet access there so will send our blog updates then. If we are lucky and have it more often, you may hear from us...
We leave June 30, flying to Detroit, then over Canada, Alaska and down over Russia to Seoul, South Korea and then we pop northwest to arrive in Ulaan baatar late July 1. We meet up with our travel guide in Seoul since she is one our flight last flight with us. We have a few days on our own before the rest of the group, all Canadians, arrive. Our travel group is World Wide Quest, a new operator for us. We think we are headed off on a great adventure. We will keep you posted....
