Our Family On The Road

Follow the Eddy Family as we embark on the our journey to a life traveling in simplicity. We sold our stuff, bought a conversion van, and are making our way to Central America. We believe there is more to life then the rat race, and we are taking a leap of faith, trying to find a balance between work and experiencing the world. Our three children will be shaped by many cultures and as we walk next to them on this path we will be changed too.

Drivers Permit: International

We both applied and received our International Driving Permit today. It helps  police in other non-English speaking country's interpret our drivers licenses. It isn't strictly necessary but can smooth out any potential hassle in regards to us driving out of country. It's good for a year from date listed on it. What you're seeing is the front cover and the last inside page. The I.D.P. is 17 pages long, including the front cover. It has a ten other languages in it, that explains our drivers licenses and how it is coded. It costs $15.00 plus the $8.95 for the photo. It's a nice feeling to be getting all the details done, it helps make it real now. 137 days till we are on the road and a few months after until  we are leaving the U.S. of A. It was about an hour from start to finish, including completing the applications (online form) getting two photos taken (same place as our passport pictures) and running across town to the AAA to get the permit. Not too bad. -Jason
