How To Plan A Read Across America Road Trip.

Here’s a great post on resources to use when planning a road trip across the States. What could be better than taking the homeschooling show on the road?

I have to admit, I’m jealous of the literary resources. The only Aussie book I can think of off the top of my head is “Are we there yet?”

Where is Matt?

It’s got us thinking – is there something a little bit crazy we can do every place that we visit?

Sometimes ignorance IS bliss!

Our tickets are booked and paid for.

Ignorance is certainly bliss when it comes to torturous flight routings. I’m already dreading it! *fingers in ears* lalalalalalalalala

I’ve just picked up 10 books from the library on various aspects of travel to the USA.

In order to narrow down what we would like to do with our time I have started on the books about road trips. Ignorance is most definitely bliss when you start to look at the many places that you could travel to. If we had unlimited time and money oh the places we could go!

These books are both fabulous and do not in anyway help narrow things down. Rather they expand the possibilities! I think I will get a lot of good information from them.

This book on the other hand; is completely useless because it doesn’t have even one National Park in an area we are travelling to. Thank heavens for small mercies!

I have the 3rd edition but National Parks don’t change that much surely?

Take a desktop vacation

Can’t afford to visit the Christmas markets in Europe? How about having a virtual vacation on your computer. The most spectacular wallpapers are available for free from Hybrid Works.

Christmas is a Journey

It’s a journey that’s inspired thousands of Christmas cards:

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem village, Judah Territory – this was during Herod’s Kingship – a band of scholars arrived in Jerusalem from the East. They asked around, “Where can we find and pay homage to the newborn King of the Jews? We observed a star in the eastern sky that signaled his birth. We’re on pilgramage to worship him.

(From The Message)

You think you know the names of the three Wise men? Think again.

Who then, were the Wise Men?
