Only four short weeks left before we board our first flight for our trip around the world. We are so excited and the planning is going really well. Matt has been brilliantly handling all the travel arrangements (Visa's, shots, tickets, etc.) and I've been manning the home front and the education side of things. We've been planning this for so long that things are coming together really well and we actually have time to visit with friends and family before we leave.
We began the New Year with a ten day sail around the Caribbean with our good friends, the Freedmans. We sailed on a really cool trimaran (the largest in the world) called the Cuan Law. She's been in the Caribbean seas for 20 years and everyone knows her! We visited St. Martin, St. Bart's, St. Kitts, Saba (our favorite), Salt Island, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda and Tortola. We kayaked, Hobie'd, snorkled, scuba'd, hiked, wakeboarded, ate, relaxed and laughed a lot! The girls made some new friends and we all fell in love with our seven crew members of the Cuan. What a blast. Definitely a great way to kick off our travels and just one more place on the planet to add to our adventures.
Check out the photos from the Caribbean and keep checking back!
Love To All.

Dear Terrific Toledos (sounds like "The Flying Wallendas", doesn't it?) -- You are such an awesome family! The blog, the card, the photos and all -- you are four creative geniuses! You've always lived large and this is but another example of you as "worldly way-showers", showing the way to travel and bond. We know that this will be the trip of a lifetime for you all. Bon voyage! Tim & Gail
Hey Toledo Family,

You four are enough to make a mother proud! Love the comment about the Terrific Toledos from "ti". We'll be with you every step of the way and, who knows, you may see a gondola passing under you on a bridge and there I'll be.
I send many more hugs, and kisses than are reasonable -
Love,
Mom
