It's has been decided. For my 40th Birthday, I will be taking the kids (yes. I plan on having kids by then) over to Morocco, India, Nepal and Tibet for the summer.
Two months on the road with two kids under ten. Some may say that sounds crazy. I say it sounds fantastic.
Anyone can go to Disney, but I want my kids to have more broad and open experiences. I want them to develop the same love of adventure and exploration that I have. I want to them to dive into new cultures, foods and places with excitement, not fear.
I want them to explore the bustling Moroccan souks,
Venture into the desert on camel back with the Bedouin,
Bask in the awe of the Taj Mahal,
Feel the power of the Ganges,
Glimpse the peaks of Everest,
Breath in the stunning beauty of Lhasa and be near the immense presence of where the Dalai Lama once called home.
And when they go back to school in the fall and are asked, "So what did you do this summer" I want them to tell magical tales of travel and adventure not from a book, but from their own experiences.
