Well, here we go!

I wanted to start a blog that will give our family a place to share our journey.  We are in the process of moving across the United States, retiring from the Army, and packing off for a three month tour of South Africa!  Wow, I am exhausted just typing that and I’m going to actually do it??!!

I am not undertaking this alone, I have four great traveling buddies that will share in the planning and will also help me keep up this blog to let everyone know how we are doing.  We are in the early stages; a great friend just threw the idea out there a month ago and after lots of research and talking to doctors and travel agents, we booked our flights this week.  We leave the USA on September 15th.
