It was Mr. Green, with the candlestick…
We know we have many visitors to our site, but rarely does anyone comment. So where are you?
To try and coax some participation out of our audience, we have decided to play a game. In the spirit of “Where In The World Is Matt Lauer”(who I still love even though he never emailed us) we are going to play our own “Where In The World” game.
We will give you a clue as to where we are going next. It may be a photo, some text, or a bit of trivia about that particular country. We will post a clue to appear at the moment we are scheduled to travel to our next destination. The clue will be up for a few days to allow the guesses to be posted in the comments section. Later, we will explain the clue and reveal our new destination.
This would have never worked until now. After all, we have been on the bus. “Hmm…I wonder where WD and WS are going after Chile? Could it be Argentina?” Not a very fun game.
But now we have a fantastic new tool at our disposal: the OneWorld Around The World Airpass. The only restriction on this plane ticket is we cannot cross the same ocean twice, so that leaves a lot of zigzagging possibilities. “Ahh…now this could get interesting! Which way around the globe? And where to? WHERE IN THE WORLD?” There is a lot of world out there left to see, and we are ready to wander!
So we hope you enjoy the game starting June 9. Until then….keep wanderin’!
P.S. If you received a post this morning in your blog feeder, or saw a post on our blog that is strangely no longer on it….you didn’t see anything, did you? (I am using my Jedi mind tricks on you) No, I didn’t think so. What post? What blog?

I always mean to post a comment, but the whole logging in thing ends up deterring me, because I can’t ever remember my password. I always vow to go look it up and then come back and leave my comment, but I get distracted and don’t make it back. If I checked blogs at home, I’d just have my computer remember it, but since I check at work, I don’t like to do that. Maybe if I go in and change my password from the gobbledy-gook of numbers and letters Word Press assigned to something normal, I’d be better off. But again, I get distracted easily and never quite make it to do half the things I intend to do.

You’re right Theresa. The login process is a deterrent to most readers.
It took me a while, but I finally found the flag in WordPress to remove that requirement.
Now dear readers–comment away!!

Hey guys, Love all the writing and pics so far. Wish I were there. I am looking fowrad o your first clue…unless I already mssed it! Any way I though I would write a littel peom for you. I am no shakespear nor di I rhyme well. This is not exactly Haiku but it was in my head so I offer it to you as my offering of appreciation and anticipation of guessing your next stop. Enjoy.
“Destination revalation”
As you have journeyed
through the unyielding repose of the Americas
you have shared with us such beauty
in the simple roadside berries
and kind faces of the indigenous.
We at home, drivers lonely
Await our call to open roads.
Far from the solace of our processed food bags
while you wait in anticipation of
some word of warmth from waitress weary
Revelations anticipated urge the mind to a hunger.
No, a feast for the forlorn imagination.
To what transitory end do our vicarious wanderers set their sites?
To what continent dark or otherwise do our itinerant friends find themselves lured?
On what hemisphere will their next move plant them?
Will they seek the crisp chill air of winters inception?
Or will they encounter the warm breath of summer?
The deductive mind is once again set a blaze in a torrent of thought.
Intimation anticipated while in our tedium answers sought.

I think the log in feature on our blog was stifling your creativity.
I am worried now, that after your eloquent poem, that my clue(s) will fail to live up this. I hope to do you proud.
Hi to Michelle and the kids!!

Sean–
Love the BJJ photos!! It looks very, very hot in that dojo, though. Are you gonna blog about the training? I’d be interested to hear how you were received, did the Brazilians feel like they needed to kick your butt, did you pass out from dehydration, etc? Safe travels—Denise
