What an amazing adventure and outstanding opportunity! I salute all of you who have dropped it all and done what needs doing. With all heart I give a shout to my friend Anto Gutierrez.

Yearning for my traveling years myself....more importantly, however, came the realization that the sludge in the road should be cursed at with the savor of the well fought battle everyday of our lives. Not just when traveling. I want to swell with pride at not having an aneurysm in traffic. Actually, I do take a fair amount of pride in my running traffic commentary set to the tune of a sailors swagger.....<br /><br />On another note- you left out my man Charlie Boorman. What an awesome guy to travel with. I have taken short trips with friends or family, but my longest journey was alone. Why? Primarily- no one could go. Thus, alone I went. As I met various people, more often than not, I felt glad I had my own agenda rather than longing to join the throng of other Americans. I felt strangers were more open and my impressions were mine. That said, being a woman alone (and sticking out like a sore thumb as a blonde), I chose to miss out on a good deal of night life. To do it over again? Maybe a couple weeks here and there with family/ friends, but overwhelmingly, I'd still go it alone.<br />AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
