Vern.  We bought a very large, laminated world map outline last week.  Plotting our route will soon begin!  Carolyn has traded e-mails with the tourism folks at the Government of Peru re hiking the Inca Trail.  Todo esta bien! 5 months and counting.

Happy Holidays!

After many years of having a world trip loosely "on the back burner", it's hard to fathom that we are now only six months out.  Lots to do, and we'll do our best to keep this blog up to date.  From our good friend Anne in Toronto:  "I am going to live vicariously through your blog. Vern, don't screw this up for me."  [Vern]
