Last day in the USA

It is finally here and we could not be any more excited. One more family dinner and then off to see the world. "Where first," many people ask. "Thank you for asking," I say. Well, we are off to visit Gdansk, Poland. We will be there for four weeks living with Emilia's grandma before we move on to Zakopane, Poland to hike for two beautiful and exhausting weeks.

Let us start out by telling you how this all came to fruition. We had just gotten back from a seven day trip which covered almost all of Ireland. When we woke up at 5:30 AM to go to work the next day, vacation ending depression starting to creep in. After several hours into the work day, I called Emilia and proposed a brilliant yet imperfect idea. "Let's move out of the country. Ill work at Merrill Lynch, London and you can find a nursing position." She thought for one second and replied, "Why would be want to work?" SOLD. Shortly after, we asked Emilia's family if we could live with them to save some euros and they were gracious enough to support our dream.

Our plan is to gain some perspective by seeing how other people live and truly immerse ourselves in new surroundings. We have a brief outline of places we want to go, but we really love the freedom of being able to go where the wind takes us.

Along the way, we have had some amazing moments with friends and family which have led us to this day. Thank you everyone for your love and support. We look forward to sharing our year with each of you when we get back or even better, COME VISIT US somewhere in the world.
