TEN years!!!

Ok now that the last post had me on a trip down memory lance circa 2000 Europe travels...I'm totally obsessed with getting back over the pond. ASAP. From now till 5pm, you'll find me on kayak. Let the productivity decline begin.

What's up with this blog?

I'm one of those crazy people who has the "travel bug." I am lucky enough to have been to a decent amount of places in my lifetime, so I'm not complaining, BUT, there's so much out there to learn about, explore, and experience.

I once read an article in a magazine that claimed there are really only two things one needs to travel: time and money. It is very rare in our lifetime that we have an abundance of both...when we have time on our hands, we are typically out of work and lack funding, and when we have money to spare, we are working so hard for it that we can't find the time to do anything else! I am on a quest to find the balance.

This blog will report on places I go, things I've learned there, and, probably most frequently due to points listed above...the places I am dying to go. Planning trips/vacations is one of my favorite hobbies. To the extent that sometimes I think I have more fun planning the trip than I do ON the trip! I only wish Travel Agent was still a viable career option, it would be perfect for me! As embarrassing as it is to admit, I have an arsenal of trips/vacations already planned that I may never even take. But, hell, if I do get the chance to go to New Zealand, I already know my itinerary!
