We're Leaving In A Week!

It's nearly time. We're starting to put clothes aside and actually do some preliminary packing.

The biggest question now is whether we can each get into just two suitcases. We're trying to keep the luggage to a minimum because hauling bags back and forth to the car is going to be a pain every time we change hotels. (And we're changing hotels almost every day.) We're each taking a large bag, a medium bag and a carry on. Hopefully, that'll be plenty of room.

We’ll surely pick up souvenirs along the way... but we can always mail those home at the end of the trip.

Now, we'll just have to get through the TSA lines!

Less Than Two Weeks!

It feels like an eternity. We leave in less than two weeks. Other than a little bit of last-minute shopping and packing, all the preparations have been made. It's just a matter of waiting. Forever.

We have travel vouchers. We have passports. Jeff's buying a new camera. Lori and Sara have graciously offered to check on the house from time to time. The dogs will be in Bucyrus where their Abuela can spoil them rotten. Everything is ready.

Can't we just GO already?! Geeeeeez!

30 Days and Counting

We are 30 days away from one of the most amazing adventures of a lifetime.

We're starting to get our gear together... thinking about what we'll pack... and HOW we'll pack. The anticipation is mounting.

After months and months of planning, it's finally going to happen!

The Dates Are Odd

The dates on the blog may seem slightly off... depending on your perspective.
The blog posting dates are set to New Zealand Daylight Time.
In the US, it may seem to be a full day ahead. Not to worry.
It's just coming from the other side of the International Date Line!
