The 16-Hour Countdown

Hello once again, people of the World Wide Web. It's Tyler here. I'm writing this post the day before my big, round-the-world trip. The last few weeks were spent packing, selling our house, saying "bye" to friends, and going to going-away parties (YAAAAAH).

So as you know, since I'm not going to have a real room of my own to keep clothes, and toys, and stuff of that nature for a year, we're pretty much living out of a suitcase and a backpack the entire time. We have to pack a lot of stuff! In our suitcases, we're keeping clothes with different capabilities. For example, some dry easily and some have bug spray built in. I could go on for hours, but I won't. Anyway, in my backpack I have stuff to entertain me like a Nintendo DS, the iTouch, and a book.

In other news, I just graduated elementary school. I got dismissed from my elementary school for the very last time (though I will still have to go to that school sometimes because my brother might go back to it as a fourth grader when we get back from our trip). I feel sorta good about not going to middle school this year because then when I come back, I won't be in the lowest grade.

Today, we have a 5 1/2 hour drive to Cape Cod. We picked Cape Cod to start our trip because it is one of my favorite places we've ever been to in the United States. We have gone there every summer since I was a baby.

So it looks like this blog is just about wrapped up.

Until my next blog ...

16 Hours Until We Start Our Trip!

Hi, it is me Stefan.  In 16 hours I'm going around the world. I am living out of one suitcase and one backpack. Here are some things in my backpack: 

  1. Nintendo DS & lots of games
  2. NY Mets monkey
  3. Baseball cards & playing cards  
  4. Tech-decks
  5. iTouch (so we can watch movies in the car)
  6. Books
  7. Camera
  8. Travel pillow (for all of those long car & plane rides!)
  9. School supplies
  10. My journal for the trip

    I'm sad that I have to leave my friends for a year. I'm happy that my house was sold because it had been on the market for 6 months.  When we get back, I'm going to get a new house and one with a big driveway so that I can get a basketball hoop.  I also hope we have a big yard to play baseball in.
