We were so excited to have 49 of our closest friends and family join us at the Casa Cornachi for four days of fun. Wednesday - A hike and pizza party; Thursday - Legal Ceremony in Lucignano and wine and olive oil tour through Tuscany; Friday - "Intimacy Fest" hosted by our dear friends Dave and Paula; Saturday - Symbolic Ceremony

We chartered a beautiful 42-foot yacht to sail the Mediterranean, and visited Elba, Capraia, and beyond. A big thank you to Brad Telepo, Tom Ingoglia, Kim Forsythe, Grace Ho, Craig Lange, Greg Gilman, Erin Cassady Dorion and Zak Cassady Dorion for making a kick-ass crew!

After enjoying  a week of luxury, we are going to switch speed and embark on 36 days of trekking through the northerly route of the Camino de Santiago.  

With the recent shooting in Orlando, Andrew and I decided to combine our fun-filled honeymoon with a weekend of love and solidarity by celebrating PRIDE in Lisbon, Portugal.  Plus, after being one with nature for 35 days, we need to let our hair down and get weird!

Andrew worked two years ago on a horse farm in Bordeaux, and we intend to go back to see the family he stayed with and get our hands dirty. There is usually is a wonderful fireworks show at Château la Riviere the first Friday in July, so we'll begin our stay with an evening barbecue at the family vineyard which is just nearby and then watch the fireworks!

The Vieilles Charrues, or Old Ploughs Festival, is the largest music festival in France, attracting more than 200,000 festival-goers every year. This festival was created in 1992 in Finistère as a private party for 500 Camino pilgrims. The following year, the festival welcomed more than 2000 and that was the beginning of its success story.  Andrew and I will be going to hear Disclosure on stage.  So fitting!

Andrew suggested that, after working hard on the farm for a couple of weeks, we should go relax and, dare we say it, consume bubbles in none other but bubble country! So we'll start with a weekend in Bordeaux, followed by 3-4 days in the Champagne region, and we'll end with a weekend in Paris! Oui! Oui!

We met the coolest woman, Beth, at the US Embassy in Florence, and she invited us to couch surf with her and her husband, Gordon, in Abu Dhabi. Since we agreed to say "yes" to every opportunity, we took her up on her offer!

Two years ago, Candace trekked the Poon Hill circuit through the Himalayas, and this year, we are taking on the Annapurna Circuit! This 14-day trek is mid-level and anyone who hikes regularly could handle it - no problem! We then have scheduled a 6-day cleanse and yoga meditation retreat in Pokhara at the Sadhana Meditation School. Come join us! Ohm...

With three weeks to burn between Nepal and Bali, we decided to visit some of the amazing countries of the East, starting with Vietnam, where our two friends from France, Melanie and Thomas, honeymooned 12 years ago.

We've rented a two-bedroom house, complete with outdoor shower and private swimming pool, on the northern coast of Bali. It will be nice to have a month of stable living, and we have an extra bedroom for you! And this just in - Andrew's mom, Jane, will be joining us the second week of October!

We haven't been able to get enough of the islands, so we decided to add one more to our list before we finish. Candace's old roommate, Jeff, is from the Philippines, so we are stopping by to say hello to his grandma's birthplace on our tour!

After some bad luck with the Australian Embassy and Jetstar and AirAsia (causing us to miss our flight to New Zealand), we even surprised ourselves by staying a few days in Tokyo! Rickshaws and public baths, baby!

We want to be home in time to cast our presidential vote, so we decided to end our world tour by taking the trip full circle and ending in one of Candace's favorite spots, Oahu! Candace's mom and dad were kind enough to cover hotels for the stay, so it's just R&R to end this crazy adventure!
