Getting ready to fly...

8/17/13 
Alerting the few who might want to follow us on our epic sojourn is not an easy task for someone of limited technical prowess... or lack of, really! But you are warmly  invited to join us vicariously,  if you so choose, on our two month journey !

Here we are at count-down, with four different views of what we need to bring, how we need to eat and sleep and travel, how to stay healthy, and what we might do serendipitously along the way! Do you think four such different people (Larry, Carolyn, Bob and Joan) will survive as a foursome??? Stay tuned for the "reality adventure"  (so to speak)!!!!

Our efforts in the last 3 months are culminated in long lists: procuring visas (3 each); packing for school work; rural Nepal living; trekking and biking; visiting hot and cold climates; finding long-lost friends in remote areas of India, Nepal, China, and Hong Kong; defending against malaria, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, parasites, water, food, and all of Eastern mankind... seems to me these immunizations and drugs and preparations are yet another strategy of homeland security craziness bent on keeping us home... and finally, tickets, passports, hotel rooms, host communications, tech support to keep us in touch with our roots; and the crumbs to find our way home).!! Wow! All to be packed in the smallest bag possible on wheels and portable.  What do you suppose we forgot!

Hopefully, I will add pictures as we begin! Join us if you are so inclined... Cheers, Joanie
