I’m not dead yet!

Chime In hasn't had a pulse for a good 6 years, but despite all appearances to the contrary, this blog is not dead yet! A friend recently asked us for travel recommendations for Thailand and it led me down memory lane a little bit...and back to this blog! I discovered a few unfinished drafts and it has inspired me to finish what I started.

Life has changed so much since I last wrote an entry. We have had many more adventures, we now live in the UK...and the biggest adventure of all...we now have 2 kids! 2! No one is more shocked by this development than me, let me tell you, as we weren't planning to have kids at all! But Selvan and Keeran have turned out to be the best things that have ever happened to me. They are now 2 and 4.

We still travel, but the way we travel has changed quite a bit. It also continues to change all the time as the kids get older and their needs and abilities change. When I was on maternity leave with Selvan, we managed to do a lot. We went to Canada, San Francisco, Cape Town, India and Cape Town again, all before his first birthday!

The Boomslang Boardwalk in Kirstenbosch was a huge hit with the kids!

We have made all kinds of newbie mistakes when traveling with kids. So many valuable lessons have been learned and I'm looking forward to writing about them soon. I also plan to go back and fill in information from our RTW world trip. Hard to believe that was 7 years ago now! So please stay tuned!
