I'm normally used to being the rare nomad in my family. These days, that seems to be changing. I've got family vagabonding around the globe, with two of my mother-in-laws, one brother-in-law, and a slew of other remote-in-laws biking through Southeast Asia, and another mother-in-law and brother-in-law traveling in Israel for twin cousin-in-laws Bat Mitzvahs. (yes, my family is large and complicated!) I love hearing about their stories and knowing I'm not the only one who is on the road in this family.
Now there are big changes to come, with another nomad on the road. My husband has just accepted a position in Iraq and will be headed off in May, right when I head back from Burundi.
It's certainly a big change for us, since I'm normally the one on the road, but we both feel that it is right for his career and our lives at this moment. I'm already on the road so much, that he might as well take a very interesting job when it comes along. Plus, we'll have R&Rs in various places in the globe every 90 days that I can report back on to you! Finally a chance to take real vacation!
Wish him luck!

Okay, I got stuck on the two mother-in-laws but I think I got it figured out.
So, are two mother-in-laws better than one? ;)
'Drea - Yeah, that is normally where people get lost. I've got three, and three are definitely better than one! Some of the most fabulous women around and I'm lucky to have each of them in my life.
A doctor, lawyer, and psychologist, not a bad bunch to have on your side. Between the three they keep me out of trouble!

The best of luck to you and James. You guys rock.
Miel - am not sure of the proper term for our relationship - since your father is my cousin. In any event, I check in on your life once in awhile - hats off to you for your courage and good work. Let me know if you find yourself in San Francisco one day. Sara Green
Sara - Great to hear from you. I certain recall meeting you out in Indiana. Hope you are doing well. Glad to hear that some family follow along with my adventures as well.
Cheers,
Miel
