The book has finally arrived


We are so excited to put all our memories into one spot and get a book together to help us remember all of the amazing experiences we had as "the Harris8"traveling in 1998 and 1999.
The idea is to all choose 2 to 3 countries and write all you can about it. You will be the main author and family members can add comments and stories at the end of your chapter of the book in regard to that country.
If you are a sub-writer please post yours after the main writer has posted theirs to help the book stay organized.
What a blessing this is to be able access this book wherever we are around this world. Our international lives over the past decade has definitely proven to be a result of our international trip. We still love traveling and do it AMAP (As Much As Possible).
Our goal for this book is to complete it by the August 1st Osoyoos Family Reunion which will be our 10 year mark since we started the World Trek.
We should all have the copy of the Harris8Trek CD of pictures that we took with the original Sony Digital Camera. Remember we only got it in Australia so if anyone has photos from Hong Kong, Thailand, Laos or Bali please let me know and we can scan them in.
Please contact me in regard to the top 4 countries that you want to write about. Please do so ASAP so we can all get started. Happy remembrances & writing.
Oh yes, to help distinguish who wrote what, after you have completed a post please sign your name as follows....
