It’s official, we are headed to South America on February 4, 2014. Lima, Peru to be exact! We booked our tickets today. I am so excited, but I had butterflies in my stomach as I pushed the button to buy the tickets. So much to do to get ready!
We decided not to go to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia or Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in February. There are protests and civil unrest going on in Thailand. We did not want to take any risks with our kids. We started to plan on going to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos instead, but as soon as we started looking at doing that, we saw that there is political violence going on in Cambodia. It just is not meant to be, for us, to go to Asia!
Other big news: we sold our RV! We can’t even believe it!! How can our time in our RV be up? How did 6 months go so fast? Our buyer signed the contract this past Monday, January 13th. He is picking it up in St. Louis on January 30th. Scott and I are both so sad to be leaving our home. We have truly loved our time with our kids and seeing our beautiful country! God has been so good to us!! Such an incredible trip… I can’t believe our RV time is over.
We visited 36 National Parks/Historical Sites during our 6 months on the road. We are ending our trip at a Theme Park: Universal in Orlando, Florida. Tomorrow is our last day here and we will start working our way back to Missouri. We have only 4 nights left in our RV home till we have to winterize and start packing things up and cleaning it out…
We have a few more posts to add to the blog: San Antonio, New Orleans, Fort Pierce, Fl and Orlando, Fl. They will be coming soon! We hope to continue our blog in South America. We will not have access to wifi like we do in the USA, but hope to be able to provide updates.
Hope you are doing well and your New Year is off to a fantastic start!
WOW!
Hell, I’m sad too to see the RV go! Thanks for taking us along on the ride. It was fun!
I have so enjoyed going along on your trip though your posts and pictures! What an adventure you have had!! The quality time the four of you have had together is priceless and will never be forgotten. When Kat and Kane have families of their own, it will be interesting to see if they do the same with their children. The next phase in South America will be a wonderful experience, too, and I look forward to seeing and hearing all about it as well. It is sad that you sold the RV, but I am happy you were able to do so so quickly!! I will continue
to send hugs and my prayers for a blessed and safe journey! Love you all very much!
Wow, what an amazing trip and another one coming up! Thanks for all the updates and thoughts along jour journey. Take care, Melanie
