Hello once again, people of the World Wide Web. It's Tyler here. I'm writing this post the day before my big, round-the-world trip. The last few weeks were spent packing, selling our house, saying "bye" to friends, and going to going-away parties (YAAAAAH).
So as you know, since I'm not going to have a real room of my own to keep clothes, and toys, and stuff of that nature for a year, we're pretty much living out of a suitcase and a backpack the entire time. We have to pack a lot of stuff! In our suitcases, we're keeping clothes with different capabilities. For example, some dry easily and some have bug spray built in. I could go on for hours, but I won't. Anyway, in my backpack I have stuff to entertain me like a Nintendo DS, the iTouch, and a book.
In other news, I just graduated elementary school. I got dismissed from my elementary school for the very last time (though I will still have to go to that school sometimes because my brother might go back to it as a fourth grader when we get back from our trip). I feel sorta good about not going to middle school this year because then when I come back, I won't be in the lowest grade.
Today, we have a 5 1/2 hour drive to Cape Cod. We picked Cape Cod to start our trip because it is one of my favorite places we've ever been to in the United States. We have gone there every summer since I was a baby.
So it looks like this blog is just about wrapped up.
Until my next blog ...










Ty,
Great to see your blog up and running. But I'm a little hurt that in your interview "Chicago" wasn't the place you most anticipated on your amazing trip. Just for that no cheese for you when you visit me and you're sleeping out on the sidewalks of Chicago!
I'm anxious to catch up with you!
Greg
you guys are so cool!
I wish i could go on a trip like yours!=)

Tyler,
The Blog looks great! I look forward to reading about all of your travel adventures over the next year. I've already put your travel blog web page link on my class page for my students for next year, or this summer for that matter if they log on. You made a good point about entering the middle school for the first time without being on the "bottom of the food chain". You chose a great way to circumvent being a sixth grader at the middle school. I'll stay in touch.
