The Year of the Fire Monkey

Happy Chinese New Year! We're on the first leg (more like toe) of our trip, landing in Vancouver, B.C. to spend Chinese New Years with family.

Welcome to Our Little Corner!
Welcome to Our Little Corner!

Well, it's official.

We're taking some time off, leaving the Canadian winter behind, and going somewhere different...approximately 15-countries-from-Asia-to-Europe different. It'll be a longer trip than we're used to, but we're ready and eager to trek around this amazing world, knock a couple of iconic wonders off the bucket list, and re-visit a few of our favorite spaces.

Come back and visit as we post (WiFi willing) pictures and stories about our travels from east to west and back home again.
