One Hundred and Seventy-Seven

One hundred and Seventy-Seven. 
This is the total number of hours I have been in transit in the last month and a half. 
I have jumped two oceans, 
been in four countries 
on three continents. 
All of this has led to a very busy summer. 


From my home in Virginia Beach,


I flew to Pretoria, South Africa,


I then drove to Siabuwa, Zimbabwe


Back to South Africa 


Home to Virginia Beach
(and steak!!)


 Drove to Cleveland,


And finally, flew the 8,000 miles to our new home in 
Okinawa, Japan



 Needless to say, 
It has been a whirlwind!
Now, my summer travels draw to a close.
I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities I have been given,
and the places I have been able to see.
But I am ready to settle down again,
move out of my suitcase,
and stay in one place.
Let my island adventures begin!

  1. Dear Abby, as your island adventures begin, our adventures begin, following your picture story and written word, around an island and culture totally unfamiliar to you. Grow and learn and enjoy what you can while you can. You are a budding photojournalist.
