The usual pre travel chaos



So, here we are again the night before travel and everyone is tense and snapping at each other. For the past three days I have been asking myself if all of the extra work and pressure are worth it. Then I read some of our past adventures that I posted on this blog and I remember that yes, the pre-travel hassle is worth it with the fun and education we have had.

So, the goal is for all packing to be completely done tonight. We did most of the big stuff this weekend.

Here are our clothes bags. Everyone gets the clothes they are wearing and what they could fit in this bag.




This shows the size of the bag. I might be cheating though. That's Tate's shoe. Size 14

The rest of the stuff includes a travel pillow, sleep sack, shower flip flops, a light jacket, a poncho, and some toiletries for each person. We also have two snorkels, a laundry line, flashlights, and other small flotsam.

Each person also gets a small day pack with books, ipods, water bottle, snacks, etc.
All in all, everything fits on our backs.



So tomorrow we leave for St. Louis. Friday morning we get on the planes. Three total before the day is done. See you all in Panama!

In Costa Rica

Again, this computer will not take an SD card. However, I am drinking the best coffee I've ever had while writing this so it's mas-o-menos. (good and bad) We were only able to spend the one night in Bocas del Toro because we made reservations at a specific hotel in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica and they only let you cancel if the can rebook. Thus, for the third day in a row we were on the move. That is really exhausting so I'm glad we are in one place for at least three days now. It took us about five hours to get here from Bocas. We first had to get a water taxi to get back to mainland. They were very busy that day so we had to wait an hour for that. Then I splurged and paid for us to get a direct minibus to the border. Otherwise that would have been a taxi then two different busses to get there. Then we spent 30 minutes getting visas and stamped out of Panama. After that we walked across a rickety, rusted bridge into Costa Rica. From there another office for cus...

Arrival in Jerusalem

We took the early bus from Ein Gedi and arrived in Jerusalem around 11. I don't know if we are getting better at this or we just got lucky, but we had no problems getting out of the bus station, finding our city bus, getting off at the right stop, or finding our hotel. In fact, when we went out to find the market later we also got there without getting lost once. Weird!  I say it is because Israel is so easy to travel in. The buses are marked, the stops are labeled, there are schedules, and the roads have signs. There are also a lot of tourists here so I guess they have to make it easy. Lots of American tourists too. That is something strange for us.  The market was packed with people getting ready for shabbat. Many of the Jewish shops will be closed tomorrow. Some sights too. I did pretty good getting fruit and bread and nuts. Our room has a fridge and the hostel has a kitchen so we ate challah and hummos, tomatoes, almonds, olives, and strawberries for dinner.  We wandered into t...

The real first post

O.k. That last post was really just a test as I was setting things up. Now the real, good stuff begins. Where to next? My kids and I are on our way to Ecuador for a month of Spanish language school. Steve will be joining us the middle two weeks of our adventure. I will answer each question in turn. Why spanish school? We don't know any spanish. Actually hablo Espaniol en poco. Muy poco. (The people who know spanish and are reading this are probably laughing.) Tate and I went to Honduras two years ago and I figured we would be able to get by because lots of people speak English. It is pretty much a universal language, right? Wrong! I could not function and felt very detached from the people and culture I was learning about. (The same thing happened in France but that was o.k. The French did not want to talk to me anyway.) We got separated from the fluent Spanish speaker we were with and I nearly had a meltdown. I coped by going into a Wendy's (yes, they have Wendy...
