We invite you to join us on our journey around the world with the National Geographic Society on their "Places of a Lifetime" tour. This is much more than a celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. It is a celebration of our lives, which have been enriched by each other and by all of the wonderful family, friends and colleagues that we have been blessed to know over the years. Every single one of you has contributed significantly to our joy and well-being and we want to thank you for your support and friendship.
Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. This is our itinerary:
Tuesday, October 19: Library of Congress and National Geographic Society Headquarters, Washington, D.C.
Wednesday & Thursday, October 20 &21: Amazon river and rainforest, Peru.
Friday & Saturday, October 22 & 23: Easter Island, Chile.
Sunday, October 24: Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Monday, October 25: Crossing the international date line.
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, October 26, 27 & 28: Sepik River, Papua New Guinea.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 29, 30 & 31: Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Happy Halloween !!
We didn't even think about not being able to host our annual Halloween party when we scheduled this trip. We really enjoy the great effort everyone puts into their costumes, and how it can get a little risque as the evening progresses. Rest assured, next year it will be better than ever.
Monday, November 1: the terra-cotta warriors of Xi'an, China.
Tuesday & Wednesday, November 2 & 3: the great wall of china and Beijing.
Thursday, November 4: the Taj Mahal, Agra, India.
Friday & Saturday, November 5 & 6: the Serengeti plain, Tanzania. We will be camping on the plain in a mobile tent camp. Judy's first experience at camping!! I hope that someone has a rifle.
Sunday & Monday, November 7 & 8: the lost city of Petra, Jordan.
Tuesday & Wednesday, November 9 & 10: Istanbul, Turkey.
Thursday, Friday & Saturday, November 11, 12 & 13: London, England.

ReplyDelete"That's pretty much really cool," says my stepdaughter. I agree. You guys are going to have the time of your lives! I can't believe that Judy's first camping trip is going to be in the Serengheti.

That first paragraph made me cry! I remember that time so well...seems so long ago. I still laugh at those hysterical stories from that group house that you two lived in. What a beautiful beginning!
