The Idea...

In the Fall/Winter of 2010, we’re heading out on an open-ended “honeymoon.” It could be 6 months, it could be more like 18 months. All we know is that we want to hit the road and do it in a way that connects us with the people and places where we’re traveling.

As of now, the plan is to drive south from San Francisco towards Tierra del Fuego in a 2004 Nissan Xterra we have been outfitting for the trip. Along the way, we hope to find volunteer projects and worthy causes that we can either help directly or assist through fundraising. In fact, we're also starting a web site called Gone for Good that we hope will become a connection point for people interested in doing similar projects while traveling. Of course, we’ll also be looking for pristine beaches, mountain views, and tucked away resorts where we can enjoy our honeymoon. Oh yeah, and penguins. Ann loves penguins.

We hope you'll follow along as we plan and chime in when you can help us focus our efforts, both in making the most of this trip as well as being “gone for good.”

Oh yeah, and friends and family? We’re taking reservations for you to come join us as backseat drivers. Have a look at the proposed route and the VERY rough dates and let us know when we should expect you!
