With better math thanks to Mr. Dintersmith who proved that people really do read this stuff: 42 days until we leave, 1,008 hours, 60,480 minutes, 3,628,000 seconds! Things are getting real. The trip used to be 1 year away, “such a long time!”, “no needing to worry!”, now it is just more than a month! […]

Next year is an amazing journey that we all can look forward to, but do we have enough time to get ready and go? That is one question we all don’t know about. Another challenge for us will be being together as a family for a whole year! Will we be able to handle it? […]

Today we are going to R.E.I.  79 days to lift off and its time to invest in some technical fabrics; some of those pants that zipper-convert to shorts, loose trail shirts and washable underwear.  The reality of our trip is setting in as we went to the MGH Travel and Immunization Clinic last week to […]

We leave June 30, 2010 on an adventure that will take us to all seven continents. See itinerary. We built this site to create an interactive platform for our kids to report on the world as they see it through other kid’s eyes. We want lots of other families to share some of this experience […]

We will be traveling from the Falkland Islands for 30 days aboard the Finnish icebreaker, Kapitan Klebnikov, literally sailing underneath the planet past the Ross Ice Shelf, McMurdo Station to Hobart, Tasmania.  Here we will study Ernest Shackleton’s famed voyage aboard “Endurance” and that of “Aurora”, sent from New Zealand as a supply ship to […]

Our adventure will end on a bareboat sail reaching offwind from Tuamoto to Bora Bora. In this final month we will study the journeys of Captain James Cook while sailing some of the very same routes he took through the South Pacific.

In the Northern Indian province of Uttar Pradesh, we will trek to the foothills of the Himalayas and participate in Holi, or the Festival of Colors, when revelers light bonfires and throw multi-colored powder and water into the crowds.  Kids should be colorful for days.

Known for its focus on Gross Domestic Happiness, Bhutan will surely be an adventure of many dimensions.  Here we will trek, enjoy home stays and appreciate the genuine nature of the Bhutanese people.

After a month in the bush in Namibia, Botswana and Zambia, a little break at the Lodge at Victoria Falls will be welcomed.  And what’s not to like?

We will be gaining access to some of the most untouched and spectacular wildlife locales in all the world. And when we hear a kid say “Oh no, not another lion!” we are prepared to FedEx that kid home.
