Going Out the Door
"Remember what Bilbo used to say: 'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.' " -- J.R.R. Tolkien
And, so, we start with a quote...
Those near and dear to us, have heard us talk for years (many, many years) about the idea of an around the world trip. We tried it once before, and were only weeks from purchasing our plane tickets, then the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 changed it all. Nathan (our son) was only in middle school and we just weren't ready to take the plunge in January of 2002 as we had planned.
