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!

A decision has been made! The winner will be the next place we will go in Europe! And the winner is...is...is... *stage whisper 'Next card!'* And the winner is... Budapest, Hungary!

Budapest is the capital city of Hungary. It used to be two cities, Buda on the west side of the river Danube, and Pest on the east side. On November 17, 1873, the cities merged and became Budapest.
