It will be fun to compare these “before” pics to the “after” ones!  (Yes, we know our car has a lot of miles on it but it’s a Land Cruiser!  And if we have car trouble along the way, we will just deal with it.)

If you are reading this post, you know that the Kigers are leaving the day after Christmas on a year-long trip around the U.S.  We never thought we would ever do a blog about anything (we really aren’t that interesting) but it seemed it would be the best way for our family to see where we were and what we were doing.  In the meantime, lots of friends have asked about a blog.  So here is your chance to “follow” us. On the home page in the right column, subscribe to receive email notifications of any new posts.  And please know, that if you subscribe and then unsubscribe later, we promise to not take it personally!

On the site, you will notice a map that tracks our whereabouts.  If we happen to be somewhere you’ve visited, we’d love to hear about anything that you loved (outdoors, restaurants, museums, etc.).

One final note: We (mostly Diane) will be posting on the run and in a hurry so please don’t judge our spelling and punctuation.  You know who you are!
