Why the Blog?

These days everyone wants to travel the world. As kids and teens we dream about it. As adults we might often think about it, but never find the time. We dream, but few of us ever reach our goal. I am one of those few.
Soon, starting September 4 , my dad and I are going overseas to three places-Israel, Thailand and Prague, Czech Republic. Well, those are where our homes are going to be, but we will be traveling in Egypt, Sweden, and other places. We will stay in each place for about three months.
I am an eleven-year-old girl named Rachael. My father is Philip and my mother(who is not coming for the whole trip but is visiting) is Margie. In this blog I will keep you posted about events. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Kali, Bob, and Sherri

Yay! My BFF Kali and her parents Bob and Sherri have come! I am so happy! They flew all the way from Colorado to Seattle, then from Seattle to Seoul ( in South Korea) and then to Bangkok. She says that it took forever to find a taxi to take them to our house (she's sitting right next to me as I type this).

They actually got in around 10:00 pm and spent the first night in Bangkok. The next day they flew out and came to our house.

It was so fun showing them around! We went all around the Old City, and then went to the night market. We bought a lot of things, kimonos for Sherri and Kali, little presents and trinkets... it was awesome!

We ate dinner at a nice seafood place (I got the only dish that didn't have seafood in it), and then went right home because they were feeling a little overwhelmed and really tired.

Also, today we are going to go on the elephant/hike/bamboo rafting thing, except Dad sadly isn't coming. Oh well, it's gonna be great! So expect another post later today!

Bye.
