As I record my thoughts and experiences during this trip, I'll try to spare you, dear readers, the platitudes about culture shock, jet-lag and poor in-flight meals. I know that most, if not all of you who will be following our posts here have far more experience traveling than I do, and for me to record the time changes, train meals and daily weather would make for incredibly tedious reading. Instead, I will do my best to record how the places we visit affect me--not just how they make me feel, but what I will take with me in spirit from that place.
That being said, this 10-month trip around the globe will be the first time I've ever set foot on foreign soil, so this blog will certainly serve as a diary of sorts: expect to see LOTS of pictures! I hope that my entries will do justice to the incredible places and people we encounter on this journey.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned.

Amazing. You are on your way to a wonderful adventure. I will live vicariously through your travels. Enjoy, learn, live, love!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is going to be an incredible journey! Have you planned it all out ahead of time or are you going to just see where things lead you?
ReplyDeleteWe have a general itinerary lined up--we have friends and family we will be visiting during specific dates--but there is a whole lot of wiggle room. We realize that any plans we make could change, and we're open and willing to fly by the seat of our pants!
DeleteSean, as much as the weather and the terrible meal you ate at some hostel may seem like minor details that are boring, they are part of what makes the incredible experience you are about to have. There are some meals, and other minor details you will never forget, some good some terrible.....its all part of the adventure, cant wait to hear more. See you in a week!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt! I'm going to be recording all the nitty gritty details of this trip in my own personal journal (in addition to this blog). We just arrived in CO a few hours ago, so let's be in touch.
