Tonight was the kickoff to our Big Trip! I can't believe it's finally here. Daron and I enjoyed a bottle of champagne with my brother Brian and his wife Cindy to celebrate. Daron had been saving a bottle of champagne he purchased after he graduated high school (20-some years ago!), so we opened it tonight. It did not age well (yuck, tasted like vintage vinegar and had no pop!), but it's the thought that counts. Luckily we had a new bottle to celebrate with too. We are both super excited to get on the boat tomorrow and start it all off. Much gratitude to everyone who helped us get to this point - we are so appreciative and look forward to sharing our experiences with all of you. More to come!

This sounds very cool. How long does this adventure last? Do you know where you're going?

Greetings Brother and "his-best-friend Beth",
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see that you guys are finally on your way and that you have decided to blog about it. Would love to see a picture of your balcony room. Perhaps we will meet up in South East Asia.

Hi Becky! Thanks for posting a comment on our new blog (still figuring all this out!). We're planning on traveling for a year, if all goes well. We'll be starting in Australia and New Zealand (the boat will leave us in Australia). We have some ideas of where we want to go after that, but are only planning 3 months in advance, to keep it from being overwhelming and also keep our options open. -Beth
ReplyDeleteHi Brother Rod! It's so great to hear from you! We've been talking about you (have your ears been ringing?) and wondering where we can meet up with you. We'll have to make some plans before too long. I included a photo of Daron on our balcony in a future post, just for you! :) -Beth
