Hi everyone!

Thank you for visiting our registry! If you're reading this, then you've heard the news that we are getting married this year. It only took us 30 years from when we first dated at summer camp when we were eight years old to get here, but we're finally doing it.

We've been lucky enough to have many of the "essential" home items a newly engaged couple needs. We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our lifetime travel adventures come true. While we've traveled a lot on our own, now that we've found each other again, we're looking forward to excursions together across the globe. The lifetime of memories we'll gain from these trips will be one of the most valuable possessions we could ever have.

So after much thought, we have put together a list of both actual experiences we would love to have, and the items we may need for those experiences. Then we threw some other things in there just to keep it interesting.

We'll do our best to document our experiences via photo and include it in your much-deserved "thank you" note.

Thank you again for making our honeymoon (and lifetime) adventures a reality.

Much love,

Amy & Robbie

p.s. Some of you have expressed a preference to simply send us a check to put towards building our future home together. If this is the case, please let us know and we can send you our mailing address.
