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!

Park (2)

Hey! Dad and I just got back from that reservoir. Remember? Unfortunately, we forgot to bring the camera. Again. So no pictures, sorry!

It was really fun! We didn't get started until around noon, since there was something going on with the Internet. Our phone here is a VoIP (Voice over the Internet Protocol) Internet Phone, so, pretty much, if we have Internet we have phone. So if the Internet was down, no phone, right? Wrong. Even though we couldn't get most pages (in some cases we could get the pages, but of course they weren't any pages I was going to) to paint on our screen, we could make phone calls. It was so frustrating! But, on the upside, it happened on a day when we would mostly be out of the house. It's working now, though!

The reservoir was great. Last time, just as we were leaving, we drove around the lake and found this really cool spot. There are these bamboo huts, but they are floating on the very edge of the lake! Of course, they are anchored down, but if you sit in the edge you can dangle your feet in the water! It is so cool. Guess how much they are to rent out for the whole day? Ten Thai baht. That's like $0.32 US dollars!

We stayed there from noon to 4pm. We mostly read, and dangled our feet in the water. I had such a great time!
