On Friday July 1, 2011 at 11:30 the Raven-Jackson family will board a flight to Paris and embark on a seven week journey to Europe. We decided to create a blog in order to record our excursion and keep our family/friends updated on our travels.
In the 25 weeks leading up to our departure we will endeavor to document, as best as possible, our preparation and planning process. While documenting this process might seem mundane [even for internet standards], we are hoping that we will be able to benefit from any suggestions from our friends that are seasoned travelers about places to visit and experiences to undertake. For instance, we were recently at a charity event and a friend had just visited Rome with his children. He advised that the most memorable part of the trip was an afternoon they spent in gladiator school:

For some reason the prospect of learning how to effectively beat each other with wooden swords seemed to resonate with our family.
In the next week I will post an itinerary of where we intend on staying during our trip, which should facilitate any recommendations you might have. We want this trip to be fun, educational, and a memorable experience for ourselves and for our children. Any assistance you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Sit vis vobiscum.
