Getting ready for our big trip

Hi, my name is William Flaherty. I am 9 years old, and I live in Dorado Puerto Rico. We go to the beach every now and then. We have a pool at our house, and we go in it every day. I like playing Nerf, swords, and computer games. A year ago my dad told us to make a bucket list of places we want to go to. Some of the places that I listed were Stonehenge, Great Wall of China, and Paris France. My parents and my brother also listed places. We are home schooled, and it is very fun. We have a teacher and a classroom in our house. Our teacher's name is Miss Jenn. She is watching me as I type this.

Some of the places we are going to on our trip are China, Hawaii, New Zealand, and South Africa. I am most excited about China because I want to see the Great Wall since it was on my bucket list. We are getting ahead in school, so that we don't have to worry about getting behind as much when we are on the road. We are also getting our medicine for the trip, like malaria pills. We are writing this blog so we can share our experiences with our friends and family. If you have any questions about what we are doing, you can ask in the comments on this blog.


Hello, my name is Charles and I am 12 years old.  I will turn thirteen while we are in Botswana.  I like to go swimming in the pool at our house.  I also like to read, play with Nerf guns, and play on the X-box or computer.  We are going to Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Vietnam, India, Dubai, South Africa, and on a Safari in Botswana.  I am most excited about Dubai because I want to see the different culture and the tallest building in the world.  I am worried about the shots that we might have to get for the diseases.  I do not know how William (Mr. Picky Eater) is going to fare with all the new food.  I think we will be seeing a lot of McDonalds and vending machines on the trip.  Another thing that I am worried about is that I might get blown to bits by the volcanoes in Hawaii. I also hope that a drilling company won't destroy our hotel in Dubai in their search for oil. Just kidding.
