What do you need to do now: If you are interested, complete the form below, it is an Expression of Interest and does not commit you, but lets Grant know how many are interested and in what component of the trip. Yes, it is early days, but the sooner we get an indication of your thoughts, the better the planning can be, these trips do not just magically appear, a lot of work goes into them.
