To celebrate our quitting the rat race, we are taking a “round the world” (RTW) trip later this month. The map above shows our route. We will hit 8 countries in all with more than one stop in some. We decided to see some nations that were islands that we’d never be able to take Tigger to and a few countries we thought we might not ever travel close enough to in Tigger.
