Travel...

It's a good sign, really.  I'm obsessed right now with fantasizing about international travel.  I mean, travel to exotic locales has been a passion and the source of dreams for a long time.  I have dabbled some with foreign travel, but haven't realized my greater ambitions.  And I'm ready.  I am ready to travel.  The past year or so has been a period of re-organization for me.  More ambitious "extra-curricular" adventures have been pushed to the back burner.  Now I'm ready! 

What prompted the change?  Well, predominantly it was a trip with Billy. Billy came from SoCal for 4 days of custom guiding in the peaks here.  He's young, psyched, well-read, fit, and motivated on the big mountains of the world.  I told him he's a bad influence: "Making" me revisit dreams of Asia and South America and Canada.  As a motivating tool, I'm going to re-publish some blog entries from years ago.  My last big expedition, actually, was in 2007 to Greenland.  The pictures and stories are wonderfully motivating.  It was a great trip!  I wrote it up with some pictures for a blog I used then.  In the interest of consolidation, I'll bring it back here.  We also got some publicity here.  Stay tuned...
