Namaste

At the end of November Doug somehow linked up our blog so that we could track numbers of readers by city, state, and country. We were amazed and thrilled. We have readers from five continents, 15 countries and 20 US states. Who would have thought?

The most amazing part has been connecting with our blog readers. We get advice, hear our friends travel plans and past adventures, and most importantly, we keep in touch with family and friends – old friends and new ones we’ve made along our way. We started this blog to share our travels with family and friends and to have a family journal of our immigration experience from the US to NZ. Doug and I wanted the boys to have an memory book, of sorts, to remember this time in their lives. What we didn’t anticipate is that we are connecting with more friends and family on a more regular basis than we did before we left the US. The four of us are thrilled when we hear from family members, old friends, colleagues, college, high school, junior high, elementary and preschool buddies…the list goes on and on. The blog has become a much more intimate experience than we expected. It has also reached further then we ever anticipated. It is our journal, sounding board and web of connection to the world beyond our home.

Truly, thank you for the support and keeping in touch.

Namaste,
Carolyn
