Well, I'm back. I've been wanting to get back to writing for awhile, but didn't really know if I had anything worth reading.
Well . . . over the weekend a few things happened and I've, once again, been bitten by the travel bug. Actually, I was bitten years ago, but suburban life with a husband, 2 kids, a dog, etc. have suppressed it for awhile, but now that our kids are 10 & 8 they're old enough to be great travel companions so . . . we're going to go for it! We're going to bypass the Disney vacation I've been wanting to take our kids on and give them experiences they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
Right now, we're in the earliest stages of dreaming about showing our kids the world. Though plans may change, right now our first thought is to visit our Compassion kids. We have 9 kids throughout the world so it's unlikely we'll visit all of them BUT 2 of our kids live in the Dominican Republic so we'll probably start there. Last night my husband and I were dreaming of Kenya, where 3 of our girls live, but the more I started thinking about it, the more I started thinking that our kids' first international trip should be a bit closer to home (though Kenya is still very much on the list).
This blog started with me chronicling my frugal adventures, and our budget is already pretty much trimmed of extras, so I'm not sure where else we can cut to make it happen, but I'm willing to try.
We're a single income family and I've already started thinking that getting a job might be the easiest/best way to pay for all of the adventures we want to take, but I don't know of anything that will work with our family schedule.
I will be using this blog to chronicle our planning process, and once we're able to start traveling, I plan on using this blog to document our experiences!
