How it all started...

Someone asked me the other day when we decided to take the trip. I can't remember exactly when or how - I think we joked around about it a lot and told everybody we are going to do it, so now we kind of have to. Two things that helped:



1. The Gap Year Book.
It's geared for a younger crowd - it starts with something like "so, you just graduated college and are about to join the real world"...um, yeah, in 1998! But it definitely got us thinking about it.
