Update

In futurity I prophetic see... more interesting content and maybe even a few readers! Since we crossed the Rubicon a while back and purchased plane tickets, sold the car, and decided on the first few destinations, all that remains are details that will fall lightly into place along the way. However, not being one to deny the mutability of the best laid plans o' mice and men, I thought it'd be fun to post them now, and see just how accurate they prove to be. Thus:

August 8, 2008: last day of work, trek back to CT, say goodbye
August 18, 2008: celebrate our 1-yr anniversary with a glass of champagne on our flight to Lisbon (by way of Paris, where we may have to procure additional champagne supplies =)
August 20-October 3, 2008: peregrinate from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela (by way of Fátima); adventure enhanced by the presence of fellow pilgrims of friends and family along the way
October 6-31, 2008: Complete our CELTA course at International House Barcelona
November ... - 2009?: Stay on in Barcelona, taking almost free Spanish classes and enjoying the "cultural capital of Europe" (this one is open ended, as we thought it prudent to leave a month or two of unplanned time to follow whither where the Spirit leads us! Lourdes, Andalucía , or a return to Portugal are all tempting)
January 2009: Stay with Matt & Laura in Melbourne, Australia, for an extended visit after what will by then be over a year living on opposite ends of the earth
February 2009: Spend 2 weeks in Thailand before heading to South Korea in the last week of the month to settle in for the beginning of the Korean school year on March 2

Ok, that's as far as this seer can prognosticate. See you August!
