Some may view our life as one without purpose or direction. We do not know what tomorrow will bring, or where we will sleep in a month, or what the next 40 years holds for us. It is a life currently without possessions or the encumbrances we have come to associate with success. We don’t...

We have already taken 10′s of thousands of photos and I have kept maybe 30% of these. Just the process of managing our photos has turned into quite the project. I was working on these yesterday and thought I would post some of my favorite of the kids and Gina…maybe one or two of the...

I read a discussion the other day about slow travel and what it meant. The debate was fairly heated, which seems a little silly to me because I think that the term can mean different things to different people and still be acceptable.

It’s been some time since our last post. The result of Sean being sick for a few days, us relocating to Montezuma, and a lack of internet. We are getting our first taste of internet cafe…a little different than the high speed wifi we are accustomed to at home. We are using dial-up at the...

We made it! We have officially started our adventure in Central/South America! People would think that it would be a harrowing journey to travel here, but in our case they would be wrong!

Gina and I expected that not everyone would agree with our decision to change our lifestyle. We guessed that some of our friends and family (heck…probably complete strangers as well) would consider quitting a good job, taking the kids out of school and away from friends, and moving out of the U.S. a poor decision.
