We are a family of 5 checking out of real day to day life for a month and heading to Spain and Portugal, hoping for fun, adventure and bonding.
Lots to do in preparation: plan the route, procure lodging, buy a couple of good travel books, do internet research, take care of mundane stuff like a global cell phone, notifying visa (and then trying to avoid the 3% fee on every out of the country transaction), arranging for yard care, mail and newspapers in our absence and so on and so on.... WILL WE EVER BE READY?!!!! Will anyone besides me and Tom be willing or interested in helping? Will the kids enjoy the trip as much as we hope? Stay with us and see.....
