Month 6 brought a lot of changes! We traveled half way around the world to visit home for the holidays. It was wonderful to spend the time with family and friends. Though, we weren’t sure we were ready for all the snow.
Here are our stats for this month.
Countries visited: 2 (Turkey, Ireland, and the USA)
Beds Slept In: 6
UNESCO Heritage Sights Visited: 0 Total on RTW: 34
We traveled by 6 planes this month!
We traveled by 0 trains this month!
We traveled by 0 long distance buses.
Top Moments:
~ We really enjoyed spending time with our families during the holidays. We had assumed we would be figuring out how to get festive on our own somewhere in Asia, but after a change in plans, we had the opportunity to spend some time at home. Lucky us!
~ During our layover in Dublin on our way home for the holidays, we got a chance to go on a Literary Pub Crawl. It was a great evening filled with laughs, history, and great beer.
Runners up for Top Moments:
~ We left Turkey very early in the month on our way home. We had a short two hour layover in London on our way to Dublin. It was enough time to grab a quick bite to eat… and a great beer! We were so excited to drink a beer with some flavor!
Items Missing, Broken, Discarded, or Added and Packing Update:
We were excited to have the opportunity to really re-evaluate the contents of our packs. While we weren’t unhappy with what we had, we hope to adjust some of the clothes, replace things that are worn or stained, and unload some weight. We plan to write a whole blog post about this, so stay tuned!

I’d love it if you gave a rating (perhaps just a 1 to 5 in parens) after listing books read/ . Please don’t tell me to go to Good Reads!
We haven’t read Quicksilver, but Brent and I both enjoyed Snow Crash and The Diamond Age by Stephenson.
