Bali, here we come...eventually!

Ok, we're doing it. heading out tonight (Tuesday) on an epic journey. The itinerary goes something like this : SLC, MCI, DTW, HKG, DPS. I kind of think we might be little crazy. Standby travel half way around the world with two kids. We leave tonight for Kansas City, sleep for about 4 hours and then head to Detroit. Wait at the airport for five hours and leave for Hong Kong. Then hopefully catch a connecting flight that is scheduled to leave 1.5 hours after our arrival. If it pans out we'll be in Bali Friday at 1am. Otherwise we will GET to spend the day in Hong Kong. and try again the next night. I keep thinking of travel like I think of birth/labor. Not dwelling on it ahead of time and focusing on the fact that it is a finite period of time, that no matter what happens, it will end soon.

We will spend a week with the Simis family on their sailboat, and then stay in a house in Bali for a week. Once we make it and everyone adjusts to the 14 hour time change we should have a great time. And then the next day we'll head home. We are really excited! Send good vibes our way. We could use it!

Bon Voyage! You guys will have a blast. I like the start them young travel approach. We try to do it with camping and hiking and have two budding outdoorsmen. Take pictures!
