Hello all:

We set off for the southern hemisphere in just a few days, and we have created a blog for our travel ramblings. Our journey will evolve as we go, but below you will find a rough itinerary. We will post writings and photographs on the blog as often as we can, so that our friends, family members, and fellow traveling writers can track our progress

Allison + Barron
