About this blog

We are returning to Canada, deciding to leave beautiful Bermuda after living in this little paradise for six and half years. But never being the type of people to do things conventionally, we have decided to travel for nine months before we rejoin the rat race of working for a living. If our plan remains intact, our travels should take us to Paris, Egypt, Madrid, Dubai, South Africa, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and South America.
