Your family definitely covered a lot this year and it's amazing that the kids didn't miss any school. You kids are so lucky; on my next lifetime I want to be one of them:) Have a wonderful and safe trip home. <br /><br />Marisol@TravelingSolemateshttp://www.travelingsolemates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-85978226399134982572013-12-16T10:21:21.259-06:002013-12-16T10:21:21.259-06:00Thanks for stopping by, Michele.

I bet not many children can boast having seen so many countries. Next time you come to Australia you really must visit Western Australia - if only the south west corner and the Kimberley.

But when you said you did all of your travel without the kids missing one day of school, you really blew me away. <br /><br />I loved the last line of your post. What a great way to sum it up and I understand it completely. We've not traveled around the world like you have, but have traveled quite a bit in the states and the one place my kids want to be more often than not is home. With their friends and family. They tell us that they traveled too much with my husband's job and now they just want to settle down and not go anywhere. I keep telling myself that they will appreciate all our experiences one day...
