It has been our great joy to stay connected with family and friends along our journey. We are grateful to have such wonderful people in our lives, supporting us, keeping us connected with news and current events and enjoying our stories and photos from our site. There are a few people who have specifically ensured our blog’s successes through their generous donations. We would like to recognize the following people for their contributions:
- John and Herwanna Sayre: Chris’ grandparents, our first contributors and frequent world travelers. Enjoy Mexico!
- Don and Barb Hutchins: Chris’ parents and huge supporters of our around-the-world trip. So excited to be spending the holidays with you all in India!
- Tom and Karen Fox: Amy’s parents, also #1 supporters of our travels. Can’t wait to see you all in Thailand in February!
- Aaron and Ali Sayre: Chris’ cousins and great friends. They’re among our most avid readers!
- Susan Athey: A faculty member at Colorado State University and one of Chris’s former advisors who has done a great job of keeping in touch with the College of Business Alumni.
- Roger Karam: Chris’ former boss and good friend. We hope to see you in Lebanon!
- Kari and Tuire: Great friends of ours from Finland who we met traveling in 2007. We miss you two greatly!
- Andy Jimenez: Amy’s boss in San Francisco. He’s CEO of Evolve Discovery and he’ll blow you away with his industry insight!
- Jeremy Behling: Amy’s sister’s boyfriend and pseudo-family member who’s been like a brother to Amy.
- Matt Van Horn: Chris and Amy’s good friend from San Francisco, who with his girlfriend Lauren were among the first to welcome us when we moved to SF. (They also just took a trip to the Middle East and gave us some great tips!)
THANK YOU all for your kindness and generosity. We are extremely fortunate to have amazing friends and family and we look forward to bringing you many more interesting travel tidbits, stories and photos.
All the Best,
Chris and Amy
