Long Island, not the New York one
Whoa, what happened there!?! We we’re nicely blogging along once a week and then, BAM, 5 weeks passed! Many apologies for the long absence, we’ve got our dog ate our homework excuse all ready though… We’ve had no internet! oye, I forgot a world could exist without internet for so long. We’ve been in very remote part of the Bahamas, Cuba (where they had internet but very limited) and have now just arrived in Panama after a long passage so there are plenty of stories backlogged to tell you all. We’ll try to keep the posts coming fast and furious now that we’re back connected to the world, for now enjoy Alyssa’s rendition of our Long Island escapades and we’ll have you all caught up on our adventures in no time, Thanks for your patience!!
