It's official, we are on the road! We handed our house over to our friends Dan & Matt and cast off the anchor line. Visiting friends in Oregon and California and then meeting Bill, Karen and Lu Anne to celebrate Karen's 60th. Flying to Madrid on 5/27 and have worked out an itnerary: Spain, Portugal and France for 90 days, then over to the UK and Ireland. Once it's cold there, we'll be off to Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. Mid-January we hope to go to New Zealand for a few months, then to Australia. That's our plan anyway, we'll be looking for house sitting opportunities along the way. Now we will see what really happens!
