One Journey Ends and Another One Begins!!!
We have returned to the homeland. We've hit the ground running, full-tilt boogie. After 13 months on the road, we have returned to the Queen City - Charlotte. How does it feel? Bittersweet. Happy to be home and see all the people who are near and dear to us… to...
The Heartbreak of Haiti….
After a layover in Panama and a chance to see the Panama Canal, the boys and I arrived in Port-Au-Prince. After a year on the road, I thought that culture shock was a thing of the past. Wrong. The aerial view of Port-Au-Prince from the plane was mind-boggling. Even...
A Call To Action / Niños Del Sol Children’s Home – La May, Peru
The boys and I arrived in La May, a beautiful pueblo in the center of The Sacred Valley in Peru. Breathtaking is putting it mildly. Because of an all-night bus ride, we arrived at Niños Del Sol Children's Home bright and early (6am) in time for breakfast prep. How...
La Cumbre, Argentina – In The Presence of Greatness

Argentina! En unión y libertad!!!
We have arrived in South America! We just spent a week in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. The views are surreal... painted with jagged snow-capped mountain ranges and rugged windswept seas. It brings up thoughts of how the early explorer must have...
The Magical Outback!
If you are lucky, once in awhile, a cosmic occurrence confirms that there are greater powers at work beyond your immediate understanding. The Lewis boys experienced that very thing in White Cliffs, NSW. The RFDS (Royal Flying Doctors Service) suggested we take the...
Outback Extraordinary!
We come from the Land Down Under. Where woman glow and men plunder. Not sure what glow and plunder means, but I haven’t seen any of that. What we have been seeing is the amazing outback of Australia. Off the charts, people! Heading out of Sydney, the boys...
