Where We've Been, What We've Done

It's been a while since our last post that marked the end of our eight-month trip and you might be wondering where in the world we are and what we've been up to. Following are some of the highlights. Stay tuned as we're about to kick off another adventure with a month-long roadtrip across America. We'll be leaving Litchfield, Connecticut bound for Whistler, British Columbia in early November and sharing our tales here once again.
