Egypt

Okay Tanzania, quit being so great!!! It’s always hard to leave a country that you love but, thankfully we were pretty pumped to get to Egypt!! When I’m booking a trip, you know, fresh faced and full of energy – It doesn’t seem like a big deal to travel across a continent, for a 6 […]

Damn You Toto!!!

For your catchy little inspirational jingle, Africa, that wormed its way into our trip, daily. More accurately – multiple times a day and often on repeat which quickly turned the song from catchy to eye twitching, in a hurry!!! We took 3 flights through 3 countries to make it to Tanzania from South Africa. It […]

The Garden ROute

We all slept VERY well after shark diving – not to mention our bodies were finally starting to get over the jet lag, which is totally real by the way;). While we were in Cape Town we were Super Tourists!!! We went on the Cape Wheel, visited Table Mountain, Rode the Red Double Decker Tour […]

Drink the tap water, she said….

Well Guys, we made it!!! The Willard’s are in Africa and out of the deep freeze temperatures of a Canadian February. Our flight went well and if you think that means we survived the 14 hour leg looking and feeling amazing – I would be lying;). We did survive but looked and, what could be […]

Africa, here we come!!!

Remember that time I told the Australian Government that Nick was a criminal??? And in turn they denied his entry and I went ahead and lost 6 pounds from stress and a few years off my life?? I mean, I barrrreeeelllyy remember it;). The story had a great ending – Thanks to Craig, our super […]

Welcome to the Family, Penelope and Rocket!!

Dogs are the best, aren’t they? You forget how lonely your house feels without them. We lost both Lloyd and Gunner within 6 months of each other and the stillness that set upon our house was unsettling considering we have 2 very active kids and a crazy life. Our hearts were shattered after losing the […]

Panama…Pan..a…ma…ah….ah…A

Why Panama?? We have been asked that a lot, but the real answer, besides the actual real answer, is why not?? Ocean, Mountains, Coffee, and Chocolate – need I say more? Truthfully, the real answer is that Nick has had his eye on Panama for a while – specifically, a dirt bike tour set up […]

Cocaine Bear

We are at the end of another road trip, probably our last one of the year, and I have gained a few more insights that I thought I could share. Before I do, I should take a minute to describe what our life was looking like as we were about to embark on the 20 […]

Road Trip! Again

I’ve lost count of how many long trips we’ve taken as a family, but it’s, on average, more than most;). We left Texas about 3 days ago, and if I’m honest, I think I was a little arrogant as to how well and easy this 40-hour haul would go…. Isn’t it natures way to help […]

Our Secret (not so secret) Life!

We are the Willards, and WE are living a secret, not so secret, life!! It’s crazy to think that we have been on the road traveling around Canada, US and Australia since March 2019!! The kids were almost 3 years old when we left on our first road trip to Minnesota. Looking back now, I’m […]
