Is this really happening?

In January 1994 we had 2 kids, a mortgage, a cat, a dog, several goldfish and nothing in the bank. When times are tough, and they were, it's dreams that keep you going.  The harder life is the bigger the dream needs to be.  We found our dream, a BIG dream, a seemingly impossible dream at the time.  We promised ourselves that when our baby of just 4 months was 18 years old, we would travel the USA coast to coast in a camper van.

Well it's 2012 and our 'baby' is now 18 years old.

On June 29th we depart these shores to live our dream. The flights have been purchased, the van booked, the route generally mapped out. We wake every morning and pinch ourselves that after all those years of dreaming we are actually going to do this.

We've called it the Freedom Tour and we'd really like to take you with us.  Please subscribe to our blog and follow us on our travels.
