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!

Pics

Hey! Sorry, I forgot that I had pictures of Amsterdam and the Hague! So, here's a post with the pictures!

This is me at some random location in Amsterdam on the first day of our trip. Sorry if it isn't very good, but I wanted to have a picture of me on here since I haven't in a while.


I forgot to mention this in my other post about Amsterdam, sorry! On the very last day of our trip we drove in a rental car from the Hague to Amsterdam. On the way there we stopped at the Keukenhof (pronounced Coo-ken-hof. I think). The Keukenhof is a place where there are all these flowers planted- fields of them! If you live near a farm, imagine that the field of crops is replaced by a field of tulips, except there are tons of fields of them, and then you'll get the idea. It is so amazing! But, where we went there weren't fields of them (we saw the fields in the car), they were planted in a park thing. But they were still insanely beautiful!
