UPDATE-- 10 months later!

We hate that we never wrote any more on here until now because Egypt & Israel were our absolute FAVORITE places we went on our entire 40 day trip!! Basically what happened was we bought a one way ticket from New York City to Dublin, Ireland and never purchased a return ticket so that left us with the option of going almost anywhere we wanted at the end of the trip. While in Vernazza, Italy, the room we stayed in had a huge world map which we spent a lot of time staring and coming up with ideas. We contemplated going to several places after Italy before coming home and here were our top 4 picks of where to go next (next, as in just 4 days later haha):

Option #1 was to go to Beijing, China and see the Great Wall.
Option #2 was to go to Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, & Montenegro.
Option #3 was to go to southern Italy and the island of Sardinia (look it up, it's BEAUTIFUL).
Option #4, was to go to Israel and Egypt.

**I have came to the conclusion that a passport, world map, and mine and Samantha's crazy ideas are a scary combination!!!

After spending time looking up airfares we finally came to a decision..
As everyone knows, we went with Option #4 and we couldn't have been happier with this choice.

We're going to go back and edit the previous few entries to include more pictures and writing so be sure to check those out.

Although this trip has ended, Sam & I have decided that we are only getting started with traveling. We will definitely be using this same blog website for future travels... who knows where we may end up next!


*** We would especially like to thank everyone who kept up with our trip and sent us messages on here. We wish we could have wrote back to everyone, but we never did figure out how to do so on here.
