We are back online again and will be traveling again soon too. We planned the break following our stay in Colombia to spend time with family and friends and slowly make our way northwest to start a driving journey across Canada.
As we were traveling to Arkansas for our first round of visits, it occurred to us that due to the price of gasoline, this year may not the ideal year to undertake a 2 to 3-month driving vacation. Surely gasoline prices will moderate in the future but who knows, they may not. The fact remains, costs for driving are very high right now. We are not eliminating the cross-Canada trip; just postponing it for a year or so.
Instead, off to Europe we go! Before heading that way, we and all the family are gathering in California this week to celebrate Tessa’s high school graduation. Cheers to Tessa and all 2022 graduates! Then, on June 4, we’ll board a plane to Portugal. We will stay six weeks there, spend the next month in the Bordeaux region of France, and then have three months in Spain before returning to the USA in December.
It’s going to be a whole new scene. So come along with us. This should be great fun and lots of new experiences!
