Friends, mice, country mice...

It's alive! 

At 7:30 am Pacific Time this morning, wracked by sleep deprivation and the emotional turbulence of a minor interpersonal inconvenience, Rachel and I bought this website on a whim and officially launched the beginning of what we hope is the least annoying travel blog you'll ever come across. 

We plan and go on trips the way some people smoke cigarettes. I'm not ready to quit our two-pack-a-day habit though, so this is, for now, our Nicorette.

Our dear friend and future doctor (we're so proud!) Khushi is busy for at least the next ten years, but wanderlust is an affliction and FOMO is an epidemic. I asked, "Khushi, I know you can't travel with us for forever, but would you like it if I gave you trip updates in the form of a travel blog?" 

And here we are!

So, Khushi, we miss you and hope that these posts help transport you to the white sand beaches of Vieques, the scarlet and ochre vistas framing Santa Fe, and the pungent and disturbingly turbid canals of Venice (Kidding, we haven't been. Yet!).

As for the website title, our romp in Santa Fe taught us that we're country mice at heart with a tolerance for the city. However, we're still country mice who crave adventure and spend probably excessive amounts of cheese on travel. 

If you give a country mouse a passport...she'll start a travel blog! 

Hugs!
