The begining is near....

Well folks, I think it might happen.. Our trip around the world is set to start next week, with (drumroll please) a drive to Ali's farm in Medford. Then farther south and farther south still.

By no means do we have this whole trip planned, how could we? But for the curious, here are the basics. Two people, two backpacks, four continents, $100 (each, more or less) and exactly 43,262 miles.

From Texas we will fly into Guatemala for a few weeks, then on to South America. Thanksgiving dinner will be Chicharron in Bolivia, while Christmas and summer solstice will be in Chile. We'll goof off for a few more months before heading to Africa.

We hope to keep an updated blog, although depending on 'net connections and the thousand other things beyond our control, well it could be a while between posts. But be patient, from time to time we should have some great stories and pictures. And between posts, feel free to share with us some of your travel stories, must sees, and don't do's. And if you get jeoulous, buy a ticket and meet us for a drink.

Well, that's it for now.

Hey friends! I had no idea that this was in the works, but wow....how exciting! I have to admit that I'm insanely jealous. This has always been a dream of mine. So, Dana and I will enjoy reading your blogs and living vicariously through you guys. :) Have fun out there!

Is rtinney your dad? Why is a low life attorney proud of you? Should I be proud of you too? I always knew you were a closet vagabond. Call me when you get to Tibet.

You are going to have an amazing time and will return with so many stories and amazing thoughts and ideas. I am so excited for you two, as so many are. I don't even have to tell you to enjoy yourself to the fullest extent. Bolivia and Argentina were two of my favorite locations I visited while down there, live it up! Adios and definitely keep us updated.
