Well…this is it! We are finally here.

The last several days have been extra special. We spent time with our friends and family and even had an amazing “Bon Voyage” party for last days on land for awhile. We spent time with my 92-year old grandmother who is amazing and simply looking through old family photographs makes me feel so grateful and lucky to have such a wonderful loving family. My uncle and his family gave us a beautiful ceremonial farewell experience, with cherry blossoms to guide us on our journey.

The Bon Voyage celebration with family and friends which was also wonderful. 8 hours of fun and chatting with everyone, again feeling so blessed to have so many wonderful humans in our life. Spending time with the kiddos (nieces and my god-babies) was really a treat.

I don’t know how to express how special we felt that so many people came out to wish us well. All the love and support makes us feel over the moon.

Today is the last day before the first day of the rest of our lives.

We spent the morning hanging out with the nieces; running around, baking cupcakes, making a huge mess! It was a really great way to spend our last day before we hit the road again, 4AM departure. We are so thankful and grateful to have such wonderful support!

“Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be…close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you’ll live as you’ve never lived before.” ~ Eric Fromm
