WHY are we doing this ?

After people ask WHY are wevdoing this… the next question is HOW ?

That my friends is quite the question… the HOW for us at this point is really not a tangible task.  We began talking about this idea in January 2010.  In April (after months of sprucing up the house) we put our home on the market… and here it sits.  We have so many hurdles to overcome… mainly unloading the property in order to create our travel cash flow.  So while we battle a scary economy and wait for the right buyer to come along and hand us the passports we need to get this party started… there are a MILLION other things I am doing to prepare our family for a year (or more) abroad.

WHERE IN THE WORLD ?

Just exactly where is this Global Family Field Trip taking us?  As it stands right now we have just a few fixed plans… a jumping point if you will.

We know where we will start this adventure and each of us has a list of “must-dos”… but other than that… we are happiest when we are traveling organically.  By that I mean, no set plans, no tours, just wanderlust.  If all goes as planned we’ll begin our journey in the US… flying to Washington state and renting a car for a drive down the west coast.
