Our plans are beginning to gel. We've set a departure time-frame (December 2012), and are busy with details like figuring out home-schooling options, plans for boat projects, trip-planning, etc. etc. My hope is to begin blogging more often about our preparations, and as we get closer I hope to have to boys begin to contribute to this blog on a frequent basis as well. I expect that journaling and blogging will play a big role in the boys' schooling while we are "out there". Stay tuned.
