Back in the USA

Here's a short post to let everyone know that we made it back to the States for the holidays after an amazing trip through South America. Happy Holidays to all the people we met along the way, and we hope to meet up with a few of you who will be in Asia and Europe when we make our way through this spring and summer.

We got very bad at updating our blog after departing Peru. But, I assure you that we do have long drafts that are almost finished for the rest of Peru and Bolivia. The problem was that we were having too much fun and racing all over Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina to finish them. Now that we are home in Long Beach, California for a few weeks, we hope to update our blog with more stories and photos.

We just bought our plane tickets to Indonesia. We leave on January 27th. Because of our experience in South America, we finally decided not to cram in the South Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia at this point in our around the world adventure. It was a hard decision because we really wanted to return to these places and to visit areas we missed on previous trips and meet up with people we met in South America. Instead, we thought it best to focus on areas of the world that we haven't been to alreadly and spend more time in Asia and possibly head to Africa. We are sure that we will go back to New Zealand and Australia in the future, just not right now.

Good bye for now! Amy & Chris
