On the plane we were given dinner and breakfast, but we were so messed up with jet lag we were not even that hungry. But I have to say that the food was pretty good for an airplane.

This is the all the stuff I am packing (not including shoes, my hoodie and my binder). Each person in our family got a designated colour of packing cubes so we do not have to search for our stuff as much. For entertainment I have a mini connect four, books, a Sudoku book, and a deck of cards. I have phrase books for a lot of the Asian countries that we are going to. I feel sad leaving most of my stuff, but mom says that I will forget all about it during our trip.

Hello, we are a happy family of four going on a six month trip to Europe and Asia. We will be posting about our travels along the way on this blog. Our main blogger, Evan will be posting daily with guest posts from Denise, Dan, and Jessica.  Our tabs – Eat, Sleep, Swim, Nature and Map will be rating our recommended restaurants, hotels, pools and beaches, our favourite nature spots and wildlife sightings, and will give you a map of our route. We hope you follow us to keep up on the trip of our lifetime.
