I have been busy packing and repacking.  I can’t wait to shove off!  It is so hard to decide what NOT to bring.  Everything should really fit into one back-pack to be sure.  I have a system of throwing away things as I go, so my pack will get lighter and smaller each day.  What I do is to save any item of clothing that I am tempted to get rid of throughout the year, and use it one last time when traveling abroad.

Try it!

Ever since I was a little boy I have loved to travel. My family took a lot of trips when I was a child. My grandmother would always give me some money a few days before departure. No one gives me money any longer, but I haven’t lost the overwhelming desire to travel.

At long last, it looks like I will fulfill my dream of going all the way around the world. The original plan was to take a year in doing so, but I have become involved in a career now and am lucky to have the two months off.

On August 2nd, I will leave for Barcelona where I will stay a month studying spanish five days a week. There will be weekend jaunts to the Pyranese, Portugal, and Morocco. Following this I will go to Cairo, Nairobi, Dubai, Bangkok, and Tokyo.

Keep checking back as I will be taking thousands of photos!!!
