We started our journey accompanied by three cats who reluctantly became intrepid travelers, driving through the United States and Mexico, as well as by plane. One lives with us part-time when not at college with our son, one passed away, one still accompanies us.
Ellie
In August 2019, Ellie went off to live with our son, Gavin, at Champlain College. They earned their degrees in 2025, and now Ellie lives with us during the Vermont portion of our life. Follow elliesmoit on Instagram.
Equinox
We lost our dear cat Equinox, a.k.a. Noxy, on Feb. 8, 2020, in Mexico City. It turned out that he had heart disease. He is dearly missed, especially by his buddy Kaylee.
Kaylee
We lost Kaylee in June of 2025. She was our little Buddha who used to sits in her carrier and watch the world pass by the car.
