Some thoughts on the road

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."
St. Augustine

So I guess this would mean that Kelly will be very well-read. Campbell's doing pretty well too. Dean and I can't get over how much the two of them have been reading. I think our biggest expense to date has been at the bookstores.

We have put a lot of miles on and seen a lot of interesting things. The kids have settled into the trip and are quite happy not to be in school. They still have their moments of home sickness, but are looking forward to heading off to Asia.

Today we did our final North American laundry and our last trip to Walmart for those odds and ends that we may not be able to get in Asia. Dean took the car in this morning and got the window replaced, so that is now all in order. Tomorrow we will drive back to San Fransisco where we will do our final packing of things we are taking with us and then try to fit everything in the car that we want to send home. The trunk will be half full of books that Kelly has purchased and wants to keep. The kids are anxious to see the camping gear heading home.

Our flight to Taipei leaves at 1:30 am Monday. Then we will be on the next leg of our adventure. I have no idea what kind of internet access we will have, but we'll do our best to keep up with e-mails and the blog.
