About this blog

Welcome to our travel blog! It's hard to believe that after months and months of planning, the time has finally come to take off on our journey "sort of" around the world. Our itinerary is as follows: Cambridge (old apartment) - Morocco - Greece - Turkey - Thailand - Laos - Vietnam - Cambodia - Thailand - Boston (new apartment!).

We'll miss all of our family and friends this summer and hope to hear from you often to hear how you're all doing (and to keep us posted on the Celtics and Sox!!). We promise to try and update this as often as possible - so check back frequently for updates.

Off we go...

Love, Lauren & Andy
