Default Biking mom checking in

Just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. I'm a long-time teacher who's about to give it all up to travel around the world with my kids and dog. My husband and I will be taking off in June to ride our bikes from Alaska to Argentina with our 10-year-old twin boys and the family dog - less than six weeks til we take off!!
In 2006-07 we took a year off from school and spent twelve months cycling 9300 miles around the USA and Mexico - we had a blast!
You can read about our journey and follow along on our blog at link removed by admin

Hello nancysv! I read some of Courtney's blogs about your family. I have a son the same age as your twins, and I have twin daughters who are 5 and a teen daughter. Welcome to families!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm not sure how much I'll be able to hang around here once we're on the road, but I think I'll enjoy it for the next five weeks!

Oh cripes!! that's the understatement of the year!! Right now we are totally involved in the last minute preparations - and it's driving us crazy!! I can't wait to get on the road and leave it all behind - whatever didn't get done by that point won't get done. That will be a GREAT feeling!!
