Penny pinching round the world odyssey begins in Houston
Mike and Bette O'Dell plan an 800 day, $50,000 circumnavigation in a 4 wheel drive truck, titled The Chap Expedition. They sold their home and left secure jobs to learn about the world, aiming to visit Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, South and Central America while packing essentials and weather mapping their route. They wish to meet people, see how others live, and relate experiences to global energy and modernization issues.
