Notes: We're all still home with friend and family, and it looks like our vehicles will arrive here in the states for us to start driving at the end of January. In the meantime, we will continue to post occassional blogs.

Recently, we received a letter from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. It was sent in October, but we just caught up with it. We had the pleasure of meeting the Dalai in Dharmasala, India, back in September, on the 14th. It was, to put it lightly, incredible. (N.O.)


Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
