It Begins!

Here we go!  We are officially one day away until the journey begins!  Patrick and I leave tomorrow, Tuesday October 9th at 9:30 p.m. from Boston.  We will arrive in Paris on 10/10 at 1:00 p.m. We have said goodbye to home, family, and best friends in Burlington VT, Rochester NY, Minneapolis MN, Boston MA, and Robbinston ME, packed and unpacked a million times, gone through hundreds of lists, and are (we hope) ready to go!
It still seems unreal that we are really going, but I couldn't be more excited.  For those of you who don't know, our itinerary (as of now) is this...

France (Paris, Avignon) 10/9-10/21
Italy ( Genoa, Florence, TBD) 10/21-31 ish
Austria (Vienna) 11/1-
Hungary (Budapest) 11/13
Thailand, Cambodia, Laos 11/13-12/20 ish
Australia (Brisbane, Sydney)  12/20 ish-1/20 ish

We will post when we can to keep everyone updated on our adventures, so keep an eye out!

So goodbye to all, we love you and will be thinking of you as we travel the globe!In the words of The Muppets, who always know best,.... we will be "Movin' Right Along": )
"Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends you can't lose,
This could become a habit!
Opportunity knocks once let's reach out and grab it (yeah!),
Together we'll nab it,
We'll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it!
(Cab it?)"

"Movin' right along.
Footloose and fancy-free.
Getting there is half the fun; come share it with me.
Moving right along (doog-a-doon doog-a-doon).
We'll learn to share the load.
We don't need a map to keep this show on the road."


(You get to decide which one of us is Kermit and which one is Fozzy Bear...)

  4. I have to say that I am so jealous and so pissed that you kept your relationship a secret- especially you Pat you are rotten! At least I was able to raze Claire before you left. Wishing you the safest of travels. Can't wait to hear the crazy stories!! Cheers.
