Dreaming a little

When I travel I find excitement in the entire process of it all, from coming up with the idea of where to go, to deciding what to do, where to stay, what to eat that is unique to the area, and of course, the actual getting to experience it all.  As the trip to Kenya is being planned, I am also lucky enough to be planning a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia as well.  I love the process of planning and spending hours in Barnes and Noble with guide books surrounding me while I try to figure out which one is best and worthy of my purchase then getting it home and reading it from cover to cover, making notes, and seeing what I want to do the most.  I will spend time reading reviews on the internet and putting together prices to see what will fit in my budget and what is worth a little more of a splurge because it will be that once in a lifetime experience that I may never get the chance to try again.  I treat every place I visit as if it will be the only time I will ever be there because there are so many places I want to see in the world (and so limited amount of time off from my work-it's crazy they actually want me to be there to work!) that it will most likely be the only time I will make it there.  So this afternoon, I am getting to do one of my favorite things...planning another trip of a lifetime and dreaming of what the next adventure will be.  Watching an Orca jump through the air?  Helicopter ride to a glacier?  Eating fabulous food?  The possibilities are endless and I can't wait to experience it all!
