My name is Ron and I am 41 years old and currently reside in Wesley Chapel, Florida. I have been planning this trip in my head for over a decade and I am so excited for it to be finally here. It took many many months to plan the route and then do countless hours of research to determine where to stay, how to connect and what to pack. I do want to thank Bank Of America for giving me the opportunity to take these 39 days off and experience a trip of a lifetime. My daughter Alyx, who just graduated from High School ( yeah) will be traveling with me and I am looking forward to spending this time with her before she moves to Orlando and attends UCF in the fall.

Hi guys, Alyx and I created this blog for all of our friends and family to see what we do, where we are, and what we eat during our 39 day adventure around the world. We will keep you posted as often as possible, however there are times when we may be out of reach for wifi access.
