Thanks, Carrie! The beaches here really are outstanding.

Stunning beach pics from the Philippians so far. Love them

We will address these excellent questions with an upcoming post. Thanks Andrea! Happy planning for you.

What is one thing you took with you that you were sure you would need that you realized early on - pointless? And the flip side - what is your short list of absolute essentials?

Looking forward to seeing the new blog posts!

Carrie, thank you for such a loving, heartfelt message. We are so honoured that you felt compelled to stay on top of the blog so loyally! We have a couple more stories to tell as we make our way home :). Can't wait to see you too!

Can't wait to see you too, Mom!

Will be glad to see you. The both of you have had a great Journey but I will be happy to see you both.

Hmmmm, autocorrect :( lol.

I hope you guys enjoy your last couple of days before ending your journey. I can only imagine how bittersweet this must feel however your journey continues just in a different form. So happy that we could share a small part of that journey with you. I recall when you made your first post, feeling quite overwhelmed at the thought of where the next year would take you. In that year you have seen parts of the world that most will never see. You have brought these places into our homes with your stories in such a way that they do not seem as far reaching as they once did - nor as intimidating I must say. So very proud of you both for having taken this leap of faith into the unknown - especially since it’s so very uncharacteristic if you both. On to more new journeys!! On that note and so very grateful to have shared your juourney. Can’t wait to see you both next weekend!! Love and miss you! Xoxo

Thanks mom, Sonja’s time with us has been great and our time on Java was amazing for the locations we visited. Love you.

Pictures are amazing. Glad you got time with Sonyia! Nice to see family. Enjoy the last leg of this tour. See you soon. XOXO

I think when we get to Malaysia, we will be closer! I think this is the closest so far though!
