We've had this grand idea for a round-the-world trip for quite some time now. And now we're finally going! We plan to leave in late March and be home around Christmas time. It's just the four of us: Stephen and Lisa, Grace and Gloria. Gabrielle will be on a mission, so perhaps we'll pop in and visit her (though we don't yet know where she's going.) We plan to go to Guatemala for a month, then on to Europe/Middle East/Africa for the summer, then to Asia/India/South Pacific in the fall, and spend most of December in Peru/Ecuador. We'll visit Gordon and Aya in Tokyo and spend some time with Bayra's family in Mongolia, while they are also there visiting.
We're scrambling to get everything in order before March. This blog will be our way to communicate with you. We even have a family blog schedule already set up, so we hope to be interesting and faithful bloggers, though we have no real experience. Now, let's hope the internet connections work wherever we are!
OK, our passports are ready, and we're signed up for Spanish School in Antigua, Guatemala for April. Stephen is busy trying to get his boss on board his latest shenanigans, while I'm researching French gites and volunteer opportunities. We'll keep you posted on our progress.

hooray! I can follow your amazing adventures. Welcome to the world of blogging.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds exciting- my passports in order can I come too? No.
ReplyDeleteoh well I guess thats what the blog will be for
Hi Lisa...I'm here via your comment on Segullah. This is my dream--to do an around the world year with our family! I talk about it all the time with my husband.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I'll be looking forward to living vicariously through yours. Bon voyage (in March).
p.s. My daughter (11) and I stayed in Antigua two summers ago to take an intensive Spanish course together (and I worked on a child development project there. We lived with a friend, a Guatemalan professor of mine who is married to an American so they live part of the year here in Boston, part there.) Anyway, let me know if you have any questions. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Making your one of your ideas into action. I love action. Congrats and we will be with you through your blog. I will also be a good blogger so you can be with your grandsons whenever you get on our blog. We love you and great traveling!
ReplyDeleteHey, I just found these comments (it's 21 December.) How cool is this!? New friends!! As you can see, I'm such a rookie at this. I'm trying to figure out where to go to post a new post, so give me a few minutes and I'll talk to you soon. Thanks for all your support!
