Off we go.....soon! ;)

Hi everyone

Welcome

We are happy to introduce you all to our new website, or more correctly, the blog: "Tour the World 07/08"!

We are so thrilled and thankful, that we really are going to make our dreams come true - to travel the world around. We feel priviliged to be able to make this happen and to share the desire of travelling, meeting new people and culture understanding.
We will be travelling for about 9 months. The 10 th. of October we`ll start the journey. We will be back in Norway the 21. of June 08.

Today it`s only 31 days left until we`re off to New York, which will be our first stop on our way around the world.

Must say we both are extremely excited and have lots of thoughts going on in our heads right now. It is quite a stressful situation nowadays to plan, arrange, pack and focus ahead on the next chapter of our lifes. At the same time we certainly feel this may be the best period of them all - "waiting for the miracle to come" (Cohen)..... :) This is definitely a special time, we`re planning on were to go, reading of places to see, and thinking of the projects we`ll having during the trip.

What has happened and what happens next?

We have recently had a nice good-bye-party. Thanks to all who came! We appreciated it a whole lot!
The appartment and the car are sold. Nothing holding us back, at least not any of the material stuff. The 25 th. of September we will have our things moved to Halden were we have our stockings, the 29 th. of September we will give the keys to the new owners of Olaf Bullsvei 21 which is almost unbearable. So sad, but necessary :( We have had 3 fantastic years at Voksenskog so it will be quite hard to leave. The 30 th. of September we`ll be running the "Halvmaraton" in Oslo, October 1 th. I will be off to Trondheim to visit my familiy and to help giving birth to several of piglets. I will stay there until October 10 th. Then I`ll meet Bjørn Christian at Gardermoen and "Tour the World" starts!

Vi ønsker dere god tur und viel spass. Ta godt vare på hverandre.
Flott at dere har denne siden, slik at vi kan følge med å fortelle dere om hvordan det står til hos oss også.
God tur og hygg dere storlig i verdensbyen og glem ikke opphavet.

Hei, velkommen to Miami.
Sist gang jeg var der hadde jeg securityvakt som passet på meg i 12 timer. Hadde ikke visa. Hørt om det før?
Håper dere tross en turbulent begynnelse har hatt et par fine dager i New York.
Vedr. bagasjen, er det bare å kjøpe nytt. Snakker med dere i morgen om dette.
Nytt bredbånd telefonnr: +34.951.247209.
Ta kontakt med www.iphon.no eller knut@ipone.no om dere kan få tilgang til vårt nett. I så fall kan dere spare mye penger. Særlig om der er mulig å få et access no. dere kan ringe. Jeg benyttet et slikt system i USA og Canada, hvor man betalte inn et visst beløp, og betalte minimalt for tellerskrittene.
Ha en flott ferie i Miami.
Hilsen mamms og papps.
