The Adventure of a Trip to Scotland

You may have noticed that it has been a few weeks since my last post. I took my oldest daughter, who just graduated from high school at the beginning of June, to Scotland as a graduation gift. When asked where she wanted to go on a mother-daughter trip, she replied “Scotland”. My husband wasn’t sure that it sounded like much of an ‘adventure’, compared to traveling to Africa or Asia, but I knew that even a country that is a close relative of ours in terms of culture and language could still turn out to be a great journey.

The Ultimate Project Management Challenge: Planning an Around the World Trip

In September 2003 my husband, two daughters and I took a 4 1/2 month trip around the world. During the journey we visited 12 countries on four continents while home schooling the girls, who were in 5th and 7th grades at the time. One could call this the ultimate project management challenge in that there were all kinds of interrelated tasks that had to be completed before, during and after the trip to ensure it was safe and successful.
