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!

We wish you a Merry Christmas... and a happy New Year!

I wish you a Merry Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Ah, Christmas time, the time of snow, (*looks at thermometer, reads 80 degrees.*) Christmas carols, ("chirp, chirp."), and holiday cheer ("Boo!")! And don't forget presents! (Lets see.. this Christmas I got a... paperclip. Yay!) Oh, speaking of presents, they will be late if they're coming from me, since I haven't sent them out yet, plus I have to send them out to my mom and then she'll send them to you. Thankies for being patient!

Also, on Wednesday I will be gone, because of our visas. (A visa is an official endorsement on a passport or other document required to secure a foreign person admission to a country. You get a length of time for the visa, and if you do not get a new visa or leave the country by that time, you have to pay a fine.) Ours have only 30 days on them, and so we either have to go and cross a border or pay a lot to get more days, and we decided to cross the border and then come back. So our day will be like this: Got up, leave at 8:00, five hour drive to the border with Burma, change our visas at a 3-hour break, and then come back for 5 hours. It will take around 13 hours, and we will get back late at night. Whew, that's gonna be a lot of sitting!

Well, sadly, I have to go.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!
