Hello! So, here we are again. Today we are slowly killing ourselves due to second hand smoke. We hope you all appreciate it! We continue to have good food and amazing experiences. We have posted a bunch of pictures with some short descriptions. It is very hard to find and choose the rights photos to post! Between us we have been taking more than 100 photos a day... Here's a list of our "most useful" items so far! ;-) 1. Toilet Paper. It's a must have in every single bag and pocket. We think this is why the men here carry man-purses... They have to have someplace to put the TP! 2. Sewing kit. We have put back on several buttons and fixed Meghan's umbrella... Seriously, why can't the factories do a better job with the ... read more

Hello everyone! Here we are in Chengde. Anyway, from the title you might have thought we were staying at a Resort! haha. If only that were the case... We went and saw where the Emperors of the Qing dynastry went for their summer holidays. Posh place. It took about 100 years in the 1700's to build all the buildings and the gardens. It was pretty.

It is now 7:45 Tuesday morning. I woke up feeling like I have had very little sleep (tossing and turning). It seems to have been what my unconscious body must have engaged in --- I feel very exhausted ... I believe I am going through the emotions of anxiety, nervousness (what the hell did I just sign up for) and whatever you can think of I am currently experiencing it. The thought of being someone else's keeper and protector (my wife, not that she is not capable of taking care of herself...) Meghan is well travelled so I might just have to take my cues from her. However, it does not hurt to have the muscle MAN (me) on your side. Maybe I need “Dr Phil” to help me sought out how exactly I am feeling ... read more

Hello our friends, So, we're almost there! Today's date says July 11th. Before we know it, July 16th will be here! Using the map tool in this blog, we've created the following map: We'll do our best to keep everyone posted with our progress. Some countries will have lots of Internet Cafes, others not! We have lots of extra batteries for our cameras so we should be set. Meghan and Kwesi PS Here is a map of the countries Meghan has already visited. Lots of places still to see!
