Why am I writing this blog? To heal.
Writing is therapeutic for me and, although it cannot ever erase the horrors of a family health crisis and passing of a soulmate, it will help me focus on life instead of death, on the future instead of the past.
My goal is to share my discoveries and adventures during this process so that you may follow or, thanks to the interactivity of a blog, guide me as I learn the tricks and travails of getting from point A to point B.
Yes, this is about travel.
Travel and writing have always been my passions. I have been behind a desk far too long. Death has a way of filling survivors with a thirst for life. So, this is it; I am breaking out of the cubicle and heading for yonder vistas, sailing the seas, soaring through azure skies and wheeling about on land.
I have traveled extensively in the western United States, yet have never crossed “The Pond.” My first trip across it is scheduled in June. I have just experienced my first cruise, and plan one in March and another in September.
I am a road-trip junkie, visiting nearly every state, but there is always more to see in the United States and Canada. International travel is a new book begging me to open it.
My hope in writing this blog is that you will join me in sharing notes of your travels or your locals’ knowledge with me and other readers. You have lived there. You have traveled there. You may be planning a trip there.
What did you find? What did you see? What do you wish you had seen? I will tell you. You tell me.
That’s the purpose of a blog, isn’t it?
Bear with me as I learn to maneuver in WordPress, and get the site moving along. I have lots to share in the coming months.
I hope you will join me.
