The day has finally come! We first started planning this trip in January 2011. Now that the departure day is here, I wish that I could slow down time. Over the next 10 weeks, I’m hopingl that we can appreciate each and every day. I tend to be an overly-organized person (stop laughing, those who know me!), so my challenge is to be open to the unscheduled, the unforeseen, the unexpected. Please pray for our safety and our sanity (mostly mine!).
We are at the airport now, so we can get our connecting flight to Chicago and then on to London. I can’t wait to get on the plane so the trip will really begin. I am most looking forward to Moorea because I love to swim. Also, we get to sleep in bungalows over the water! I hope that we come home safely with a new appreciation for the world.
I think my favorite parts of the trip are going to be Africa and Moorea. In Africa, we get to take an overnight safari for 5 days. In Moorea, we get to swim and sleep in these cool bungalows. It will be hard leaving Dad and Nilla at home, but I can’t wait until Dad joins us in Thailand.
We love you, Neerav and Nilla! Take care of each other.
These photos were before the tears… and vomiting. (Aidan’s ok. He just got worked up saying good-bye to Daddy!)
Can you swing by Belize and pick up a VOSOT?
Easy… NO! π Love you guys!
Wonderful farewell images! I bet Neerav can’t wait to catch up with you.
He was really, really sad. So was Aidan… so much so that he worked himself up into a lather… then vomited just as we exited security. Seriously. I grabbed a plastic bin just in time! He’s fine now. π
Miss you already … be safe and have fun! -Neerav
And LOVE YOU TOO, Neerav!! You have an awesome, adventurous family and you’re a great Dad! xoxoxo
We love you so much! Praying for you always and can’t wait to see the world with you as you journal and share! Love you boys, and Shellie!!!! Love, Aunt Beth, Uncle Greg & Cousin Benjamin
Thanks guys! We’ll need all the prayers you can muster.
Did you ever talk to Cindy Smith and to Nilla?I was just wondering what he said??????
Have a wonderful time and be safe. Keep you in my thoughts.
