That is the same as mine, yep.
At this point was thinking we would start in the Eaves of Mirkwood, just haven't decided on the East or West side. Character connections could help with that, as there is no reason for a Hobbit to be that far East unless traveling with companions.
For example, perhaps a ranger out of Imladris is friends with a Hobbit out of Bree; they have a mutual friend who is Noldor also from Imladris, and perhaps they went to the Woodland realm to take a message or something from Elrond to Thranduil, there they met a Dorwinrim man who was part of a trade delegation from dale to the Woodland Kingdom.
