100 days.
That’s it.
And by the time you read this we won’t even have that.
In less than 100 days we’ll be home.
We talked about that idea as a family a few days ago and in many ways we’re torn. We are loving this trip.
Everything about it has been incredible: The people we’ve met and the places we’ve been;
the way we’ve worked together as a family to overcome tough situations and the way we’ve laughed and loved harder than ever before.
In so many ways it is hard to believe that a big part of our experience – the traveling that has pushed us to rely more on each other – will be over in 100 days.
The way I see it we’ve got two choices, we can start the countdown to home or we can make these last 100 days every bit as incredible, inspiring, educational and exciting as the others have been.
We vote for the latter.
And so we’re taking these last 100 days to do what calls us: No firm plans, no set dates. We’ll move as we feel like and as the flights and hotel rates allow.
We know the big picture. Time in the Middle east and Europe. Stops in the U.S. and Eastern Canada but which cities or for how long remains to be seen.
We’ll live out the rest of this amazing time together and take it as it comes. We’ve got no regrets for choosing this year and we have no intention of creating any now.
If you had 100 days where would you spend them?
Go to Prague and then take the train to Krakow, Poland. It’s amazing. You can go to auschwitz berkinau..We took Jacob two years ago and it was incredible. You get beauty and you get to learn about the haulocaust etc. Anyway just my opinion. But it was so awesome we went back to Warsaw the following year and Gdansk. Well I’m done..oh and of course London England is awesome too :)
I really would love to do that Bonnie. Let me see what the flights are saying…;)
I am proud of what you guys are doing. I love the pictures with the local people you are meeting. Eastern Canada welcomes you when you get here!
Thanks Irene! Can’t wait to explore the Maritimes.
I can’t wait to see what the last leg of your trip will bring.
me too! :)
Such an amazing trip! I’m sad for you that it’s coming to an end, but love your sentiments about living it all to the full. The photos you’ve taken will bring back so many happy memories in years to come.
So true! Even now we’ll stumble across a photo and start laughing and talking. So glad we have them.
If it’s anything like the first leg of your trip… you’ll enjoy every minute of your last 100 days!
Hello my precious adventurers, with only 100 days to go, my heart bleeds for you. On the other hand, to be honest, I can hardly wait to see how the boys have grown & to hear first hand, more stories of your absolutely wonderful escapades. I know, you will make the most of the time left & that Ish is itching, to return to work anyway.
We are in our usual winter spot & will be home, way ahead of you.
God bless.
Thanks so much. Getting home to see family and friends is the good news about coming home. Can’t wait for that.

I love this! My husband and I (no kids) have just started traveling the world (http://satsumabug.com/Around-the-world) and we’re so amazed you are doing it as a family. We’re in Toronto until the end of June and really enjoying it so far. If your eastern Canada tour gets you into here before then, let me know!
Ha, whoops, I didn’t realize you were FROM Toronto. Well, we love your city! :)
