Where In the World Are Zeke and Terri?

Dreaming and Planning for 2026

2025 is just barely half over but we are already dreaming about trips for 2026 (and doing a little bit of research). No flights have been scheduled and other than Terri’s knee surgery recovery in Q1, and our youngest graduating from college in May, everything is just a wish at this point. Have ideas for us? Send us an email at zekeandterri@gmail.com and we will add them to our wish list.

Planning for 2025

As we enter the second half of 2025, our travel plans have solidified. Our 2025 completed travel and upcoming travel are detailed below.

Zeke and his cycling buddies finally made a decision about dates for their fall cycling trip so were able to plan our fall trip. One kid is at home (starting grad school) and the other is coming home for Thanksgiving so we have no travel plans for November. Terri needs a partial knee replacement (too much tennis, soccer and running make for crappy 55 year-old knees!) in December so our travel and adventures will be done when we get back from Mexico mid-December.
