On the Road Again

For many months I have been meaning to update our blog, and now seems like a good time. We have been home for several months from our trip around the world. In some ways it has been so nice to be home but in other ways we have truly missed traveling. When we left, we planned to be gone for one school year and then return to our normal life.  But somehow we caught the travel bug and we have longed to travel more.  I don't know how  many conversations at our house have involved traveling.  We talk about it all the time.  We have many of our travel photos on our walls and a large map of the world in our entry way.

We have been limited in our ability to travel because our children wanted to return to traditional school after being away.  There just are not enough vacation days in a school year to satisfy us!  We decided we better take advantage of spring break.  We tried so many plans and nothing really was coming together for us.  Then just two weeks before the break we were able to get a good price on airline tickets (with the help of some frequent flyer miles) to Peru.  So our travel adventure will continue with our first trip to South America.
