What’s on our minds – RTW trip preparation

What’s on our minds – RTW trip preparation

We are just a handful of hours from departure time and our emotions are all over the place.

We experience elation, euphoria, the high of anticipating a new adventure, epic fear, dread, worry, uncertainty and sadness often within the span of a few hours. In short, we are losing our damn minds. Which I honestly think is normal when undertaking something like this.

How we are keeping ourselves busy – The RTW trip to do list

I have said it before and I will say it again – the devil is in the details.

When all of the huge pieces – determining the budget and itinerary, getting passports, booking flights and accommodations – are complete, that’s when the real work begins. We are four weeks out from departure and you would think that we would have our ducks somewhat in a row. But our ducks are like little drunken demons completely running amok.

The Annoucement

Four years ago on the Fourth of July, Mason and I were sitting at the pool talking. The previous few weeks I had been courting a dangerous addiction and I needed to come clean with him.

Our conversation went something like this:

Me: So I have something to confess……………

Mason: Dear Lord, what?

Me: The last few weeks I have been reading these travel blogs written by people who quit their jobs and travel around the world for, like, a year. They take their kids and they spend this amazing time together as a family exploring all of these incredible places.

An Afternoon of Covered Bridges or How I Found My Castle

An Afternoon of Covered Bridges or How I Found My Castle

I woke up on a fabulously sunny summer Saturday (alliteration – YAY!) and promptly decided we needed a road trip.

Lily is always the easiest one to convince so I set her to the task of looking through our Travel Iowa book to decide on a destination. By the time the boys knew what hit them, we were on our way to Winterset.

Hi there – I’m Staci.

Hello! It’s Winter and I am either cozied up in candlelight sipping on a warm drink or out exploring the beauty of a Winter Wonderland. What do I love best about Winter? Fairy lights, hot chocolate and Bailey’s, warm blankets, and everything Evergreen.
