The Adventures of the Jolly Gnome

Our summer is about to begin, and, boy, is it PACKED. Amy and I will constantly be traveling from now until August. Tomorrow, Friday the 25th, begins our summer vacation. Work is over, school is over, and it's time for a little R & R...yea right.

Our journey begins here, in Pensacola. Because of the variety of places, and countries, we'll be visiting, we bought a Travelocity Gnome to help document our travels. He'll be featured in all of our articles from now until the end of summer. We leave Pensacola tomorrow after work and head towards Pennsylvania (my home), but before we arrive we'll be taking a detour in Georgia to visit my sister.

I wouldn't want to spoil the excitement of where were going just yet, but suffice it to say that we'll be spending significant time in 5 states in 1 week's time. We'll keep you posted as we go. Our posting will become far more frequent now. Life will no longer be the boring same old, same old of every day life. The adventure is about to begin!

Please pray for our travels. We'll be covering at least 2,000 miles over the next week and half, with another 1,000+ in the weeks following. Pray for safety and speed (not breaking the law speed, but no traffic jams or accidents that delay our drive). For many of you reading this, we'll be seeing you in the next couple of days! We can't wait to see all of you who are home.

Also, the first half of Team Australia 2012, Daniel Kim, has arrived in Mildura, Australia. He left Monday and arrived Tuesday night (our time, Wednesday afternoon their time). I spoke with him last night and he arrived safely with no problems at all. Check it out his blog if you are interested in following his progress over the 5 weeks before we arrive.
