Three weeks from today we'll be enjoying the wonders of Winterfest in Quebec City and getting ready to fly from Montreal to Dublin. Some of you have been asking about the amount of time we'll be spending in each country along the way. If you do the math (170 days divided by 29 countries) it averages about six days in each country! That probably sounds pretty ambitious! The real story is that of the 29 countries, there are several that we really plan on only spending a few days in. For instance, Poland, is just an overnight to visit Auschwitz. We spend four days each in Canada, Dubai and Amsterdam, leaving a little more time in some of the other countries. The real goal is to get a flavor of each place we visit, without moving around too much. We do, however, plan to travel extensively in France and Italy. Alex is most looking forward to exploring Egypt and Tibet. Matt's place of interest is Israel (he's already traveled around the world in 1990). Madeline loves the food and sites of France and Italy (though she's really looking forward to safari in Kenya) and I'm probably most looking forward to Thailand/Cambodia/Viet Nam and Nepal.
We push off from Malibu with open minds and open hearts. We know there will be challenges along the way (but, hey, there's challenges if we stay home for six months!) Our problems will be of the best kind - one's we are happy to resolve knowing we're on an incredible adventure together as a family.
Peace.

Lisa-
Greetings from your long-lost cousin. Don't know if you remember me. Your Mom sent us your web site. We will be tracking your adventures as we are travelers as well (Rick and I got married in Belize). Have a fantastic voyage and maybe we will meet again some day.
