For years the two of us have been harboring a dream, to take a year off to travel together with our son, Brook. We're delighted to now be fulfilling that dream. In July 2011 we began the trip of a lifetime, traveling around the world. We are learning from and adventuring amidst other cultures, schooling Brook along the way, and creating fantastic family memories. Please share your comments and questions! - John and Eydie

Arriving in Kathmandu

We took our only three-flight trip of this Round the World journey in getting from Ghana to Nepal: Accra – Addis Ababa – Delhi – Kathmandu.  It wasn’t too bad.   Upon walking out of the airport terminal we quickly saw the sign reading “John and Eydie” being held by our hotel driver.  The sign thing was a first for any of us, as far as we can remember, and we each enjoyed this luxury.  Getting to the hotel through the crazy traffic of Kathmandu felt similar to Accra, but with signs in the Nepali alphabet and with vehicles driving on the left.   We really scored with Trip Advisor this time.  We are delighted with our hotel. Dependable hot water, comfy beds and linens, a quiet courtyard amidst the action of the tourist section of town, American style breakfast included – it’s a nice contrast from our always lacking hotels in West Africa and a welcome respite as we begin our preparations for a long trek in the Himalayas.
