One Year in a Truck Camper

Some of you already know that my wife and I have been planning to take a year off of work and spend it traveling with our two kids (8 & 10 years old)... in our truck camper :C

Well, after a few years of dreaming and planning, we finally hit the road back on October 6th and are slowly making our way from the San Francisco Bay Area to the east coast of the US. Since we've started our travels in autumn, we are taking the southern route toward the southeast. Sometime in early winter we're going to park the TC and head to the southern hemisphere for a few months to enjoy the warm weather there. Is suspect we'll be renting an RV or camper-van in both New Zealand and Australia. By springtime we'll be back in the US and take a northern route from the east coast to the pacific northwest... with a few excursions into Canada of course.

My wife and I have both started blogs about our trip. Neither one of us is an experienced blogger and finding time (and WiFi connections) in between traveling and exploring and homeschooling to update our info has been a real challenge so far... but we're workin' on it. Please feel free to follow along.
