Drum roll please…. Gina and I made the decision that we will return with the kids to the U.S. sometime in September! What this means is not exactly clear…the decision was really more of a “what next” moment than a long thought out plan of our next steps. Gina’s mother and step father are visiting...

We are often asked how our kids cope without television while we are traveling. Inherent in the question is a belief that something awful will happen if the kids aren’t given a daily dose of Nickelodeon or Disney Channel, that without being able to zone out to at least a half hour of Sponge Bob...

Amazing how quickly time can slip by…it has been weeks since our last post, and we have not been very prolific writers for the month of June. We are reminded that it has been a while when Gina & I start receiving emails on our personal email accounts asking what is going on. The answer...

A quick update… When last we spoke the Lannin’s had made a last minute detour from Mendoza to a little town called Obera in N. Eastern Argentina. We came here for the purpose of investigating a house sit, or an opportunity to care for someone’s house while they are away. Think of babysitting, except this...

I know the sound of throwing away a high paying corporate career, selling everything you own, packing your life into 4 suitcases, visiting exotic lands, eating strange foods, and spending every waking (and sleeping) moment with your family sounds wonderful, but let me tell you some days are better than others. Traveling can be hard...

We threw our bags into the room and headed out to find a bite to eat. We had just crossed the border from Bolivia to Argentina after standing in line for 2 hours and before that a 10 hour train ride. We were all hungry! We found a small place around the corner from the...

To be honest I had never heard of the Bolivian Salt Flats until only a couple of months ago when the Bumfuzzles told us about them and said they were headed that way. Even after hearing about them I could not understand the appeal exactly…a bunch of salt in a dry lake bed – Hmmmm,...

We’ve received a few emails asking if we were still alive and where we were…as the title suggests we have arrived in Argentina! We crossed the border from Villazon, Bolivia to La Quiaca, Argentina a little over a week ago. Another uneventful border crossing (nice!), although the wait was more than 2 hours because we...
