Around the world

We have friends and family distributed around the world, and want to take a once-in-a-lifetime 'round-the-world adventure to visit all of them.

Our planned travels will take us first to Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (just outside of Dubai) to see Ryan's sister Kelly, her husband Ben, and our nieces and nephew Isra, Malik, and Lana. Kelly, Ben, and the Smithlings have been living in the U.A.E. since 2015, where Kelly and Ben teach and they spend their free time hanging out with camels (we're assuming).

Next we'll fly to Australia to visit friends from Auburn who are working as researchers in Sydney and Melbourne.

Finally we'll continue east to Gustavus, Alaska to see Ryan's younger sister, Rachel, her fiancé Aaron, and our nephew and niece Maddox and Delilah.

We are so excited about this adventure, a way to combine our honeymoon with an opportunity to celebrate with our loved ones who couldn't make it to the party in September!
