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!

Home

Hey! Today was a busy day. Up at 8:00, language class, the second breakfast, shopping, home, school, and finally free time. We got maps and stuff to hang on our wall, and a bunch of other things. That, along with the stuff we bought from the people that were moving out, makes our apartment feel at home. I am really happy here.

As I sit here typing this, I look out the window and see the rooftops being hit by the setting sun. I like this view, but the one of the mountains from my bedroom window is better. It's the end of the day, people are going home from work to their dinners, and everything (at least on my street) is quiet. I am at home.
