Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Juggling 'Round the World. Years and years ago, before we even considered long-term travel with kids, I saw a video of a guy named Matt, dancing his way around the globe. I loved it, the kids loved it - we watched it over and over. Looking back on it, I think Matt's videos were what sparked this idea of just getting out and seeing the world.

Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Thursday, April 17, 2014. Houseguests - Munich and Lisbon. We have been so fortunate on this trip to have 2 opportunities to stay with friends who live abroad, as the kids (and adults) have been so anxious to have other people to talk to, those days are always easier on the budget, and we learn all the best insider secrets of the towns. Kids and Vasco at the Castle in Lisbon. Who ranged in age from 11-5! We also got to sneak into Munich while...

Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Friday, March 21, 2014. Not So Friendly Neighbors…. So now that we have left Barcelona, I feel like we can share this story with our family and friends who worry about us from back in the US….stick with me, it isn't a short story, but its a good one. Over a 10 month stretch with their kids, Olivia (11) and Elias (7). We met them in the Parc Guell for lunch the first day and both the parents and kids hit it off fabulously. After a coup...I cou...

http://www.globalinsenaty.com/2014/04/lake-bled-closed.html
Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Lake Bled - Closed! View of Ljubljana from the castle. Taking the funicular from the castle. Oops - probably should let Apple know about that. After that, we struggled to find pretty much anything to do in Lake Bled - there were a couple of (overpriced) restaurants that had opened already, but everything else was closed - until April 1 (we were there the last week of March! We all agreed, however - Lake Bled would b...

Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Friday, December 13, 2013. Hanoi, Part 2: These Sidewalks Aren't Meant for Walking! Brian and I came to Vietnam with my parents, siblings and their spouses in 1999. It was Brian's first trip to Asia, and it got off to an inauspicious start - one of our first street crossings ended with Brian getting hit (yes, hit! One issue that makes walking around Hanoi tough for the uninitiated is that you just can't walk on the sidewalks,. All meals. ...

global in-SENA-ty: February 2014
http://www.globalinsenaty.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Saturday, February 15, 2014. Seriously, I'm not sure how I can be more clear about this. If you haven't considered Turkey as the next great place for a big trip, you need to reconsider. Without question it has been one of our favorite destinations so far, and if I could redo this itinerary, I would easily add another week in Turkey so we could add in at least one more city. We spend most mornings doing "homework" (kids doing math, writing in ...

Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Why Are We Doing This? While Brian and I joke that this is our mid-life crises (but how nice that we are including the kids! I have been dreaming of a trip like this for a few years. I thought long and hard about WHY this trip is so important to me. I wrote down my "whys" early last summer, and refer back to them whenever I start second-guessing our decision. It always reminds me that we are making the right choice! In our daily lives, we see...

Follow us on our trip around the world! Why Are We Doing This? Thursday, June 5, 2014. Re-Entry (or, I'd Rather Be in Bali). Before we left on our grand adventure, we were repeatedly told the same thing.re-entry is hard! How wrong I was. Re-entry is, without a doubt, really hard. It is hard to explain why exactly. Of course, there is always the fall-back answer of "we've all changed" which we have - in ways that are both easy to see (Jacob is now 2 inches taller than Luke! Maggie is hanging tough - defin...
