Today is my Birthday!


Happy 50th to me! A rainy day in Roatan today. Spent the morning with the kids in class - Phys. Ed., Writing, French and Home Ec. Chris taught them learn how to bake me a birthday cake. In the afternoon we (Kate and I) went snorkeling out into Half Moon Bay and we saw a Spotted Eagle Stingray. It was black with white spots, at is widest it would have been about 4 to 5 feet with a tail about 10 feet long. We were about 20 feet away from it. Quite spectacular to see!

We are off to an Italian restuarant tonight. I have brought along a bottle of Argentinean wine to help celebrate.

Thats all for tonight -- hope all is well where ever you are.

Website Purpose

This website will be used to track the Gray Family Travel in 2009. Ian, Chris and their two children, Thomas and Katelyn are going to spend a year travelling together. This trip has been a goal of the family for years, and as Ian turned 50 in January 2009, they are making it happen.

Thomas and Kate will be required to keep up with their education as they travel. Both have laptops and will stay in contact with friends back in London. Given the length of the trip, the number to countries to be visited has been restricted to allow for a more in-depth experince in the countries visited.

In most locations, a vacation home has been rented. This form of accomadation is not only reasonably priced, but will allow for home cooking as opposed to continually dining in restuarants.
