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.

I think I've mentioned once or twice that there are a lot of cats in Istanbul. They are quite literally everywhere you turn, and they all seem relatively well-fed (some more than others) and reasonably happy—as happy as a cat can be, anyway. Here's a gallery of some of our favorites.
Dani from Bees Unlimited takes us on a walk deep into the forests surrounding Angkor Thom. We saw a lot of cool things tourists don't ususally see.
We're booked for an over night train from Beijing to Xi'an ... but first we visit the pandas and the penguins at the Beijing Zoo.
We visit Ra.a.g.f (Rabbit and grow fat), a rabbit cafe in the heart of Shibuya.
We met a lot of dogs in Bali. This is a small gallery of just a few of these memorable canines.
Sure, the crab-eating macaques that live in Ubud's Sacred Monkey Forest are cute, but they can turn on you ... just like that.
We venture into the Sacred Monkey Forest only to discover monkeys are creepy. Real creepy ... and real mean.
The most exciting thing that happened these past few days was having a palm leaf fall from one of the trees in the villa.
