Ok, so apparently I am not good at keeping up a blog. I am also not good at keeping up with the housekeeping, yard work or calling friends on a regular basis...
I am, however, good at planning trips, just not journaling about them!
Because I am so far behind, for now I am just going to write down when and where we have been since we started traveling, as another thing I am good at is being forgetful.
Jim and I started writing a "bucket list" a few years ago, and have been making an attempt to check off all of the places we wrote down. It probably doesn't need to be mentioned that we had a few glasses of wine while we were writing said list, so one must take that into consideration. I don't have the list in front of me now, but when I find it (did I mention that I'm not good at finding things either??)
We started traveling (in earnest) when Kara wanted to study abroad in London in May of 2007.
