Todd & Jenni's Big Adventure
In and around Central America / Caribbean
We have made the commitment and are plunging into the vast unknowns. This three month journey will connect us more to each other, our selves and the world in which we live. The Caribbean and South America are our destinations and we will use this journal to chronicle our thoughts, feelings and experiences along the way.
Bon Voyage!
