About this blog

Hi, Hope you enjoy our blog, the way we experienced it - good, bad or ugly! You like our blog stay on, if you don't get off simple!

We are looking forward to this big adventure with mixed emotions. We will try to update this blog as often as we can, but we would prefer riding a camel through the pyramids, dodging the gypsies in Rome, sipping wine under the Eiffel tower, screaming with the rellies in Sicily, eating paella in Valencia, slurping on noodles in Asia, checking out the ugly girls in the red light district in Amsterdam, snow fights in Slovenia, I could go on, You get it? We will always have our little Renee in our hearts - no matter where we are or what we are doing she never be forgotten - she will be watching over us keeping us safe and well.
