1 - First Post

Well I'm new to this blogging nonsense but have given in to pressure and persuasion that this is the best way to keep in touch and let everyone know what I'm up to. I'm not totally convinced, but will give it a try.

For anyone out there who doesn't know, David and I will be married for three years this July, and began traveling together close to two years before we were married. Our first trip out of the country together (and my first trip out of the country altogether) was to Venezuela, and it was a magical experience that confirmed my suspicions that I was a wanderer at heart. Since then I have been to Zimbabwe, South Africa, Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand, India, Canada, and Alaska (which I realize is part of the States, but really deserves to be in its own category).

We normally live in Hawaii, which is as close to perfect as I've yet found, although paradise and perfection do tend to get a bit boring after a while. We've learned that the trick is to leave it every once in a while in order to keep our love and appreciation for it new and alive.

Today we are in Zimbabwe (again). We came here for a three month long "honeymoon" shortly after we were married, and have returned, this time for six months, to get a feel for what long-term life here would be like. And because we really don't have any other plan for right now. We have been here for a couple of weeks already and I've been terribly lax about keeping friends and family up to date. Normally when we do trips I send out mass emails every so often, and I will be back-logging emails of past trips for anyone who might care. But starting now, I will be using this blog for more extensive updates of this particular trip. The next few posts will be backlog of the past couple of weeks, and hopefully after that I will be good about updating regularly. Enjoy!
