We have made some big changes to our itinerary and wanted to share the news. Here is what we think the remainder of our journey will look like...
December 14-January 11 London, England
January 11-February 12 Thailand
February 12-26 Vietnam
February 26- March 5 Hong Kong
March 5 - 26 China
March 26- April 13 Japan
April 13-27 Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (why not? we need a break after all this travel!)
April 27 home or
April 27-May 1 drive from CA to CO visiting Grand Canyon on the way
Here are the whys behind the changes that would bring us home 8 weeks early. 1) We love it out on the road, but wouldn't feel disappointed with what we have seen and done, even if it ended today. 2) We have a better chance of seeing Mulan again. She needs to hang in there 19 more weeks. Come on old girl, you can do it! 3) We feel like there was so much to see in Europe, the same will be true for Asia and we would rather add a month to Asia rather than feeling rushed in both Asia and S. America. 4) Celeste's grade is receiving Confirmation on May 3rd. We are hoping that she will be allowed to do an independent study prep and join them.
There is the little issue that we rented our house out until June 30, with a possibility for either party to change that to May 30. Our property manager has asked the renters to consider May 1 and they are. So we will see and I actually feel relaxed about this. The new me!
The girls have agreed to continue their home schooling with me until I say it is done. So we would have a combination of our old life at home and our life on the road for May and maybe part of June. It depends on how hard they work in Math. Hats off to home school parents. My kids are not nice when I am the teacher. I tried sending them to the principal, but they are whiney to him too. I will be the one with a mimosa at the bus stop first school day next year!
Other changes to our plans are that we cut out Greece and Turkey, because of unrest there lately. We have added London, because our children begged like mad. They have been speaking in fabulous British accents for weeks and trying out words like knickers and Cherri-o. We have friends potentially meeting us in China and Japan. And we are thinking about wrapping up the trip with 2 weeks in Cabo! That bonfire on the beach the last night will be our clothing from the trip!
