Derek: 
Derek Hughey is 35 and a native of Nashville, Tennessee and a brand-new husband and a son and a brother and an uncle and a friend and a frequent world traveler and a lifelong Southerner and a Blue Devils fan and a watcher of endless cooking shows and a smoker of barbecue and a compulsive reader of travel-related books and a longtime dreamer of a trip just like this.
Us:
We are lawyers and hikers and photographers and ones who are happiest when eating and cooking and entertaining and new lovers of bluegrass and of the blues and longtime seekers of adventure and devotees to service work and very lucky individuals. We are married as of September 2, 2007 and off on the trip of a lifetime.
