On the Countdown!

Here is the first post on our RTW (Round The World) blog. After a year and a half of planning, we are almost on our way. The house has been sold, our stuff put in storage, jobs finished up, the global contacts made, insurance acquired, our itinerary finalized (for the first half of the trip in any case.) As a family we will be maintaining two blogs, one regarding family happenings (this one) and the other one covering the progress on our non-profit organization (http://onbelayministries.blogspot.com/). Please leave comments regularly! We miss you all already and we haven't even left yet!
