2010 - Travel and Discovery

This site details the discoveries of travel. The people, the natural environments, the various cultures. I am embarking on a year of travel that will take me to Central America, the Caribbean, Switzerland, Italy, and Africa. As part of this year of travel, I am leaving my condo in July, placing my belongings in storage and driving through the U.S. as well. I don't know exactly what this blog will be about, perhaps simply a way to let people who care about me know exactly where I am.

Twas the Night Before Maui

It's 10:10 pm Tuesday and I'm ready to pack up my computer. The Shuttle arrives at 6:30 am to take me to Denver Airport and then just three planes and 15 hours later I'll be in a condo on the ocean in Kihei. This is the flight for people with more time than money. My heart is going pittypat knowing I'll be back in the Islands tomorrow night after a three year absence. I hope I can sleep tonight.

It seems I'm leaving Boulder at just the right time. The Police called today to alert the neighborhood that a flash flood is expected. Boulder Creek is overextending its boundaries and my condo is considered to be in the flood plane. I can't imagine it will reach here, but who knows these days.
