Let us show you around…
When we first started overhauling our life and planning a trip around the world, we didn’t find a lot of organized advice to help us out. So we started a blog to document our journey in hopes that we could make some sense of it ourselves.
We’ve added quite a bit of content over the last couple of years. To help new readers get the most out of the blog, there are some categories in the sidebar to make it easier. You can also subscribe to our Facebook page, follow Betsy and Warren on Twitter, and of course get the RSS feed or Subscribe to Married With Luggage blog by Email. Please consider signing up for Gravatar so your picture will show up every time you leave a comment (on our blog and many others). This helps us and our other readers get to know you better.
For specific trip info, check out the Maps and More button on the home page. You can find out where we’ve been, where we are going, and what we’ve written and photographed in each place.
To see Warren’s fabulous photos, check out our Flickr page.
To check out our videos, go to our YouTube channel.
And if you still have questions, feel free to email us. Just remember we are traveling and may not get to it for a few days – but we will get to it. You can contact us at:
btalbot (at) marriedwithluggage (dot) com
wtalbot (at) marriedwithluggage (d0t) com
(and yes, you type them as you would a normal email address – we just have to write email addresses that way so spam bots won’t read them and start sending us even more junk)
