Note: For the next few weeks as I prepare for some changes at the Mother of All Trips, I’m going to be sharing older content and photos. Hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane!
And one more note: Happy 6th Birthday Teddy!

One thing that looking backward has reminded me is that not all of our trips have been hugely successful. While I do try to focus on the positive here, I’ve also been honest about the things that really didn’t work or the times I really screwed up. For example, who could forget the time I left Teddy’s most precious love object in a hotel room near the Philadelphia airport? (Happily that story has a happy ending as the photo above demonstrates).

Ah, the joys of lost toys. We had to make a hurried exit from a night train in Finland, and managed to leave one very, very precious leopard behind… Sometimes, though, the fails are all the fun.
