As we were at the markets today, we had to advise our friends, and associates, that we would not be there in April, but returning in May, and of course that led to the usual query "Oh why? Are you going away somewhere?" Our excitement is hard to contain - eyes popped when we spoke of our impending month-long holiday in the US. Many even said that we were one of a few people that had talked of their upcoming adventures state-side today.
With all the preparations and hub-bub over our adventure together as a family, I was reminded that "... it is not necessarily the places that we go to visit, but whose hand we are holding as we do so..." Our family is broadening its horizons and seeing more of the world and its people. Ok some may see it as a safe bet to go to an English speaking country with similar people, tastes and cultures, but this is just the beginning ...
There is so much more to be experienced, and when the opportunities arise and finances permit - we shall take those blessings and run with them.
*** Watch out world - here we come ***
