Preparing for Bolivia

Good morning all (that would be four of you)
I am sitting here this morning working out the details of our trip to Bolivia which starts two days after Christmas. We will be busing it to Curitiba (6hrs) and then flying to Campo Grande. After that, we will bus to the boarder town of Quijarro. From there we are going to get on a train (many blogs I have read, refer to this as the death train) and head in to Bolivia to our first major stop... Santa Cruz.
I will be updating this blog from this point forward. But also follow us on Gwen's blog at http://gwendolynmackenzie.wordpress.com/

Till the next post, wish us well and please pray for us!!
John

39 days out and counting

Well I have graduated and we are trying to sell the house. WE have bought our tickets and are working on the visas now.... so much to do and so little time....

Meanwhile, we need to start packing the house and packing for the trip... everything we need has to fit into two suitcase for each of us... How do you fill a years worth of items into two suitcases?

I am subbing and Donna is work hard as always, and poor Gwen has started homeschooling again. I guess it is safe to say summer is over!
