Friday, 23 August
If you have been wondering why we’ve fallen off the sightseeing and exploring bandwagon these past months, the time has come to reveal the reason. While we might have been physically inactive, I can’t say the same for our brains — busy cogitating; or our fingers — busy surfing the web. All in preparation for our 3½-month vacation from life on the road.
When I dropped some hints about our vacation plans, some of you guessed Iceland, which is indeed part of our plans. But far from all of it. In fact, we started out with Greenland [the picture above being our inspiration], then added Iceland, Turkey, and finally, a couple of cruises to return us to the US.
Our 2013 travels mapped out!
For those interested, the full story of how our vacation mushroomed from 2 weeks to 14 weeks is here.
Tomorrow, the Phaeton goes into storage — along with the toad. And with that, the Phaeton Journeys goes on hiatus. But I hope to continue blogging — or at least posting teasers — on the Two to Travel blog. Sign up to follow us there … or just click the “Our Travel Adventures and Voyages” tab at the top of this blog when the mood strikes. I’ll probably Google+ the posts as well, so there will be no lack of means for those interested in following us around on our travels.
See you when we get back in December!
Have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't even know what to say! How very cool that you just let your trip grow and grow. I love last minute changes. You certainly have a fantastic trip planned. The three months will fly by before you know it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! We'll be looking forward to lots of pictures. Be safe!
Thanks for satisfying the incessant curiosity! But I know you'll find a way to communicate with all of us. Enthralled with your upcoming trip!
ReplyDeleteOMG, 3 1/2 months? I had guessed Iceland or Greenland, but this sounds fantastic! I'll be waiting for your posts.
ReplyDeleteWOW that's like Topsy, it just GREW! A vacation from your retirement is bringing a BIG smile to my face. Have a GREAT time!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful vacation from a vacation. Enjoy your travels. Can't wait to hear stories and see photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is one adventure I can't wait to be a part of...at least via the Internet.
ReplyDeleteHope you two have a wonderful, exciting adventure. God's blessings as you travel.
Wow! How exciting! Have a wonderful time, and we will enjoy reading about your adventures when you can find time to type.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Vacationing from retirement, then taking off on another vacation from your vacation while you are on a vacation from your retirement vacation. Reminds me of those nesting boxes, with surprises inside each one. So. Much. Fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe journey! I'll be following along as we too take a hiatus for a few weeks from the RV life as we cruise to Hawaii. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time and I look forward to lots of beautiful photographs from your journey.
ReplyDeleteJust don't get frozen in in Iceland! The places you kids go! :cD
ReplyDeleteI had an idea something exotic was brewing. Look forward to reading about your travels. We will be in Florida about the time you return. Maybe our paths will cross then!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to amazing photography in Iceland. Enjoy and have a safe travel.
ReplyDeleteNow this looks like a great vacation. May you be mightily blessed during your travels.
