How's the planning going? Are both boys excited? Do you have a good set of maps? My son used to love to go through the maps and determine what he wanted to do!

When I first started this site I was thinking WOW what a wonderful way of getting information about our trip and tips to help plan the best trip EVER for my sons!!! But what I have received far out weighs anything I have ever expected. We have 57 days left before we leave on our trip and the magic has already started. It is so overwhelming how total strangers have cared for me and my family. The advice you have offered and encouragement has been such a blessing. And also thank you for sharing your family and their stories. I know at times it is not easy. They have been such encouragements! Sometimes you feel like you are all alone and then on this site you are able to reach out to someone and guess what they are there to lean on. And the BIG GIVE!! It is so incredible.
You have all been such a blessing!!!
I am sorry about being so mushy but I felt like this is something that I need to share.
Just catching up from the BIG GIVE site.
The story of the last day of school brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful thing for his school to do.
I'm subscribing to follow along! So excited for you all, you'll have a wonderful time!
Hi Matt! I have been following your thread but have not posted yet. I'm glad this is a bright spot for you all. Your family seems very wonderful and I know you will have a blast!
We got an email from our wish volunteer this morning asking about our send off party. She wanted to know what we wanted to do. With the dates being still 42 away (yes we are counting) it is making it feel more real. Sometimes it feels like a dream but I believe our dreams are about to come true for my child and my family.
You absolutely should be counting the days! That makes it so much more fun! I can't remember - are you doing a countdown chain or calendar? That made it a lot more tangible for my DD. You should make a ticker for in your signature too - that always makes me smile when counting down to a trip. Maroo is an expert if you need help with one - she has at least five or so going right now. Looking forward to hearing details about the sendoff party.
Hi there!
I will put maps in the mail today (tomorrow at the latest...may need boxes...as my "stash" of them were ruined from the ceiling collapse!...have some at work, but maybe not the size needed)
