Well, after 50 blog posts transmitted over 15 months, from 6 continents and over 36 countries, we’re finally coming in for a landing. We've had an incredible year of full-time international family travel, we've met some life-long travelling friends, seen some of the most remote and beautiful places on earth, and grown as individuals and as a family. But change is what we do best, and we look forward to this family change back to a more traditional (and temporary) lifestyle in the USA.

We disembarked in Buenos Aires with 3-week’s worth of laundry in our 8 suitcases and visions of icebergs and cruise dinners dancing in our heads. We spent the weekend staying on the temple grounds in Buenos Aires and then flew north to Iguazú. While thoroughly enjoying the falls, we traversed the boardwalks and paths amidst a downpour of a typical rainforest thunderstorm. We also took the opportunity to cross two rivers in order to step foot in Paraguay and Brazil while we stayed at the geographic junction of the three countries.  We continued on to Peru, passing through Lima, Cusco and Ollantaytambo on our way to Machu Picchu, another glorious and somewhat rainy day. 

Highlights:

1. Grand and beautiful Iguazú Falls
2. Placing six pairs of family feet firmly in the soil of Paraguay and Brazil
3. Reconnecting with Calvin and Emily Kelly at the Lima Peru Temple
4. A memorable and incredible trek to Machu Picchu
5. A day in Ollantaytambo
6. A satisfying realization of Spanish proficiency
7. Anticipation of going back to the United States!
