About this blog

Welcome to our Round the World blog. We are looking forward to slowing down life for a bit, enjoying the children (at a time when they still enjoy us), and showing them the world. We are so fortunate to live in Canada - I think many times we don't remember this. This trip will hopefully not only give the kids an appreciation for how big and beautiful Canada is, but also what life is like for many people in the world who live in developing countries. We'll be heading through Western Canada, Alaska, the Middle East, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, China, India, Southern Africa, the UK and finally Eastern Canada
