Why do we take a year off? FAMILY.
A year together experiencing things as a family. Learning to rely on each other on tough times like a family. Late nights by the fire in the desert and stories of deepest fears and joys. Knowing no alarm will wake us tomorrow and new adventures lie around every corner. That’s why we take a year off!
Life in Hong Kong is hectic. Our girls take over an hour each way to school by foot, ferry and bus. Marie-Christine travels extensively. Now is definitely the time. Take a year, disappear, regroup and decide what we want after this adventure….
University is looming for our girls and who knows about the economy? We still have three big reasons for this trip. They will see the world and we will see the world through their eyes. The girls have traveled extensively through Asia, and also to Australia, Canada, and Tanzania. This trip they will see more of Central Asia, Southern Africa, and South America.
As good a reason as any, Doug. Am now gonna go through your posts and see how you all are. ( I’m in Germany right now with the kids having a blast! !)
