Apologies for the delay since my last post. We had quite a surprise last weekend - our son decided to make his debut three weeks early!! He arrived swiftly and with purpose, and we made it to the hospital in the nick of time! Meet little Benjamin - the newest Beyond Voyager.
Only a day old and already laughing :)
For now, our travel adventures are confined to about a three block radius - Harvard strolls, the grocery store and the pediatrician - as we learn how to care for a newborn. But we are hoping to plan some bigger trips for the fall. In the meantime, we have a trove of past adventures to write about and future travel plans to dream about, so stay tuned to Beyond Voyage!
We chose to name this site Beyond Voyage because we didn't want to limit our adventures to just one or two voyages a year. Instead we wanted to incorporate what we love about travel into our daily lives. Whether we are half way around the world or close to home, we seek adventure in food, music, new cultures and experiences. Now we are taking another step "beyond the voyage" by starting a family and learning to travel, both near and far, as parents - seeing the world through the eyes of our son and watching him learn along the way.
For us, being good travel companions has meant being good teammates, often in very stressful situations. After a week with a newborn, that teamwork has definitely paid off, just in a different, and even more rewarding way. We are a bit out of our comfort zone, but that's a great thing, because we've learned that's where the magic happens :)

Our friends made this onesie for Benjamin. It's a little too big for him now, but it should fit him in about three months!
