The Summary
This trip comes at a break point in life:
- My business is 10 years old & moving into a new season
- My debut album is finished & getting stocked in shops during jan08
- My wife & I are looking to set up a new biz within activity-based travel
- We're both looking to get more stuck into church projects
We have an opportunity to take a break and get a refresh before it all kicks off again so we're visiting Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Fiji, and Japan - this is the blog!
