I can’t help but wonder when reality will kick in and I’ll realize that I’m gone for the next 10- 12 mths. It still doesn’t feel real to me. Even saying goodbye to my parents at the airport didn’t seem real. As Mom said... “It feels like

I knew something was wrong from the moment my bare feet touched the ground this morning.
I climbed out of bed with a slight groan here, a subtle pop there. A shifting of something inside my spine that probably shouldn't be shifting. I looked around wa

After weeks of knowing that I was going to quit, I've finally taken the plunge and done it! This morning I gave my resignation for July 24th. However I told them if they needed some help, I'd stay until the end of September.

Downtime! Whether you're on the road or at home, you have your favorite ways of filling time. Mine are often reading or writing, and some fair amount of that is done on computer, nowadays. Don't watch much TV and don't own a cell phone, so that free

When I'm traveling, I seek out certain home pleasures. And one of those is swimming. I'm here in Vancouver, visiting with Jeremy. With a little research on the web, I was able to find a great place to swim--the Aquatic Center. It's not every place

A simple 4 hour bus ride into Lima? Sounds simple huh? For a second we forgot we were in South America and actually thought it would be that easy.
