Way back in 2015, I wrote about this world-traveling family’s 20 Most Memorable Moments of 2014. But our journey had only just started — we continued hopping across the globe for a good portion of 2015. Here are the 35 things we experienced in 2015 that we regularly talk about.
› This summer we're packing up and hitting the road to experience that great tradition—the Epic American Road Trip. We'll be traveling the highways and byways of the United States, journeying through 17 states in three weeks. Join us, won't you?
After leaving England, we had a three-day layover in Iceland, a small island country the locals call a land of ice and fire. On our first day, we got the lay of the land in Reykjavik, along with a history lesson or two, and some delicious hot dogs.
Way back around the year 120, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall too keep the wildmen out of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Parts of that wall still stand today.
During our 333-day trip around the world, I filmed one second of video for each day we were traveling. Well, kind of. When it was all over, all that footage was turned into a six-minute video that nicely chronicles our journey. And you can see that video right here.
› We know it's been a while since you've heard from us. Here's some rationale for that—and a commitment to do better going forward. So join us, won't you?
› You may have noticed things have been a little quiet around here lately. Re-entering the United States after a year abroad has been a little more challenging than we expected and is taking more of our time than we thought it would (especially that part about filing taxes). But we're going to get back to it very soon.
Today, 16 June 2015 is our 300th day traveling around the world. Here are some statistics we've racked up so far.
Not surprising, the wi-fi on Crete is a little on the slow side, so the site updates may be intermittent over the next few days ...
Today, 8 March 2015 marks our 200th day of adventure on this Trip Around the World. Here are some statistics we've racked up so far.
e're in Agra, India, visiting the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal, and reliable Wi-Fi has proven to be a little hard to find. So updates may be a little slow in coming for a while.
We're heading into Cambodia, and the wi-fi situation is a bit of an unknown quantity, so it may be quiet around here for a few weeks. Or, it may not.
Once again, we're heading to a place where access to the Internet might be hard to come by, so we're not sure how often we'll be able to post updates over the next week or so. Stay tuned!

We're working on a farm in Western Australia for a week. Milking cows, mending fences, maintaining machinery, collecting eggs. Updates may be slow in coming.
The nights are a little chilly here in Tasmania, but we're keeping warm with this roaring fire.
We've seen plenty of odd creatures down here, but the Internet often remains an elusive beast—especially along the East Coast.
We will resume the Daily Reports as soon as we have something resembling a stable connection.
