travel blues

Some days are so good you think it can't get any better. Then you have those times when it feels really really hard. I think that is where we are at right now. It has always worked out that we find the best place and have such a great time and we are but this last bit feels....hard. We are tired. We feel like the planning takes so much time and we don't want to sit all day trying to find a train connection or hotel. We are trying to plan Africa, it has taken all day yesterday and today and we still don't have anything linned up. We can't go into Africa without a plan. Yet it is so hard to get anything booked. We are getting frustrated and it is showing. The kids just want to have fun and they have been stuck having nothing to do and being told to be quiet and not run around while we wait to a spanish speaking travel agent to try to find some info for us and then to try to understand what she is saying and if it what we want.

Here is a link to Erin's blog. She has some cool pictures and has been writing about what we have been doing from her side of things. http://offbeatandbarefoot.blogspot.com/ enjoy!
