Now that our 2 year assignment in London is ending, we've decided to take the long way home! We have spent the last two years travelling around Europe and experiencing everything we can. We've been from Spain to Italy to Denmark to Ireland. We've run with bulls, pulled a perfect pint of Guinness, rode in a Venetian gondola, climbed the Eiffel Tower, and walked through Shakespere's village. And we've loved it all - but now it's time to head home.
We are taking 11 weeks to get there and on our way are visiting South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti - we can't wait to head out.
