Not long until we leave...

Every day we get closer to leaving on our adventure.  Cole and I count down each night how many days until we leave.  Kenna and I discussed last night how it feels surreal - how do you tell people "we are travelling the world for 6 months"? - it sounds like the punchline of a joke. 

Yesterday I had a striking thought in the grocery store that made it real for me....we leave for our big trip the same day the milk I just bought expires!  - Colleen

  1. Just a little jealous I have to say...will be thinking of your family and your adventure now everytime I look at the expiry date on the milk carton!!

  2. Ah yes--milk. That was one item I did miss while traveling oversees. Their milk tastes so different than ours. Then again, wine tastes pretty good too!
    Cheers!
    Best wishes to all your family.

    1. Thanks Carmen - will do. Still trying to convince Kenna to eat a fried tarantula in Cambodia...do you think it will taste like chicken? Colleen
