With our journey now at an end, I think it’s extremely important to thank everyone that helped make this longtime dream become a lifelong memory.
First, I have to give the biggest thanks to my Mom. Mom was kind enough to uproot her life in NY to move into our townhome in Florida, keep tabs on [...]

When I was little I thought a summer trip to Florida to visit my grandparents was an amazing adventure. It was at the time, and I’m thankful for all those memories now that I am older. Sitting here thinking a bit about the last 18 months of adventure, I was pondering when I caught the travel [...]
Without much pomp or circumstance, the eagle has landed. That’s right, we are back in the United States. We landed in New York on a cold spring night, complete with snow flakes, and headed to WS’s dad’s home on Long Island.
The return home has been very interesting thus far. We are not truly home home [...]
Yup… we’ve been slacking on the posts lately–big time. I think the last 18 months are starting to catch up with us. We are constantly tired no matter how much sleep we get. Still, it’s tough to face going home eventually.
We haven’t written much because we’ve been bouncing around Europe. Travel is very easy here [...]
You may have noticed our last two posts are now missing. Maybe not. We had the clue of where we were going, then the answer. But the server blew up, taking with it our next two posts as well. They recovered our clue and answer, but they no longer made sense, as people guessed where [...]
While in Dubai I got to see my amigito Arturo. I wrote a little post about my friend during our first visit back in Panama and I’ll give him some cyber-celebrity here again.
Only 2 years old the last time I saw him, his favorite word was the same as all two year olds: MIO! (mine). [...]
Today is day number 500 on the road for us and if you’ve been following along on this journey for that long you may recall our time in Panama. We spent our first Christmas and New Year on the road with my old college roommate Jose. Jose had just returned from 5 years overseas teaching English [...]
What can I truly say about Egypt? The history speaks for itself. Maybe what I can share with you instead are some interesting observations/opinions about visiting the great sites of Egypt.
1. The touts are gonna get you. Every corner, every store. You cannot avoid this. However, if I can offer a bit of advice, try [...]
I have realized after reading a few of my old entries that I sound a bit like a travel agent. Come to Hong Kong, it’s a great city! Come to Bali, the people here are amazing! Come to Iguazzu Falls, and see this wonder for yourself!
In a way, this is how I feel… maybe [...]
