Let the adventure begin!

Ella has been reading every Percy Jackson book she could get her hands on. Which then moved to Greek Mythology. She even wants to name her son Percy one day. So we started to plan. The more I planned, the more I tried to squeeze in. How could we see all of Greece and Italy on our 3-week vacation from work? Then, I stumbled across the Family Adventure podcast. This one podcast opened my eyes to a whole new world, actually the WHOLE world! The world of RTW travel.

The next step was to get Sean and the kids on board. The kids were a little skeptical at first. Wait?? We have to sell all of our stuff? Sean was an absolute NO. No way! No how! Things are good.
I said just listen ...and his wheels started to turn too.
We bought a huge map and circled all the places we longed to see. Wow!! Almost the whole map was circled. Miles and Ella wanted to see as many things as Sean and I did and more.

We have been planning a trip to Greece for the last 3 years.

I never would have thought that we could do anything this crazy. The more I listened, the more I knew we could.

Still, Sean was not quite sure. He had been at his job for 12 years and had just been promoted to Regional Procurement Manager. How could he walk away from all of it?  One day, he came home and asked why not. We have been dreaming of doing something crazy. Let's go

We decided that if we were going to go, we needed to go soon, or we wouldn't ever do it. The plan was sent into motion. We decided that we would leave in spring 2015, in time for Sean's 40th birthday.
