Koen
I am going to fiji borneo and australia. i will be out for two months. (sixty days) that will be scarey! it will take one day to get thare. it will be summer. it will be nice. i will go ziplineing and swiming. i don't know what the food is going to be like. but i think it will be diffrint. i will see snaks, monkys, and lions. it will be fun. See ya later alagater.

Saige
I am not that excited to leave everything behind for so long but it will be very unormal and strange. I am mostly excited about Borneo because Hannah will be there with a whole bunch of other people I know, and Our family will go every year after! Austrailia will be cool because we will see Keegan again and I havent seen him in 3 years!! We will be there for his and my Birthday! Fiji will be scary because I have never been ther and we dont know many people there. I don't know anyone who has been on a trip quite like this one!

Introducing Bug & Miss Lou

'Bug' and 'Miss Lou' are pet names for Koen and Saige. As i write this Koen informs me: "you don't call me 'bug' - you NEVER call me 'bug'!" This is not entirely true, but i will admit that sometimes 'bug' will morph itself into 'bud', 'bun' or sometimes 'bum', though he can't really remember that either, which just goes to show that i was right when i said he never listens to me. While k & s are not my only children this blog was created so that each of them can communicate with their teachers while we are on our travels, and our friends and family can keep up with our adventures.

The thought of doing a blog has been somewhat of a daunting task to me, which is why i am only starting it out of desperation one week before we leave. So far it seems like it may be an enjoyable experience and who knows - maybe i can use it as a creative outlet for myself too.

So next post will be by Koen who is going to tell us his view of the whole getting ready for travel thing....
