A quick update

November 9, 2010

I wanted to get a quick update on sixintheworld. Everything is going well. Anne is almost 2/3rd of the way through her chemo and is handling her treatments as well as can be expected. She is on 3 week cycles, so just about the time she starts to feel normal she dives back in for [...]

Helping Hands and Inspiration

September 29, 2010

As Anne mentioned, we are completely overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and help we have received. Our freezer is packed with future meals, our fridge is full of the meals we couldn’t quite finish, and our days are filled with assistance from our family and friends who have always been and continue to be [...]

Breaking the Silence

September 20, 2010

Just a little over four years ago, we embarked on the adventure of a lifetime–an 11-month round-the-world journey with our four children.

Not Alone in Our Madness

November 17, 2008

The wise traveler seeks counsel from those who have gone before; so fancying myself wise, I consulted travelers far and wide before embarking on our journey in 2006. One of those who advice I particularly craved was billionaire Jim Rogers. I first emailed Jim in 2001 when I read about his 2-year round the world [...]

On the Wheel Again

September 17, 2008

I have been hesitant to write my next post. Mostly because I always think of it as my last Six in the World post, and there are so many things I want to say. I want to talk about what we learned, how the trip changed us, all the things I have come to understand [...]

$86,875.52

July 11, 2008

I’ve now managed to go more than three months without posting. During my online absence I’ve traveled to Atlanta twice, where I supervised the loading of two separate trucks, one bound for our new home in California, the other for long-term storage in another state, and attended the closing on our house.
