Welcome to my Travel Blog!

Travel is my passion! It doesn't have to be far from home. Going somewhere is going somewhere! Anytime you leave home, there is a potential for adventure!

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” ~Martin Buber

I decided to create a blog that will countdown my upcoming vacations and will also provide a place for daily updates when traveling (technology permitting). I'll also be posting lot's of pictures.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~Mark Twain

Most of you know that I have a goal of "50 for 50" which means that I want to visit all 50 states before I turn 50. I'll use this blog to continue shading in each state I visit. (I'll post the shaded map later.)

“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”

Who knows.......this site could even turn in to a "Travel Club". If we can create a Dinner Club, why not a Travel Club too?!?

“Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves.” ~Unknown

I welcome your travel tips, stories and pictures. Send them my way and I'll post them on this blog. Guest bloggers are always welcome!

"When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money." ~Susan Heller

I can't end my first blog entry without the quote below that is so very true. To my dear friends Paula & Paul, here's to many more trips together! Bon Voyage!

"I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them." ~Mark Twain
