Summer Wanderings

On the life front I'm going to take the summer off sabbatical style. As I've been told more than once I've some soul searching and general issues to be resolved and I can't agree more. Life has given me a chance to take some time off and I have the means and the ability so why not. I just hope some cool new opportunity doesn't present itself too soon.

So the plan is to travel. It's about the only thing I can say with some level of confidence that I'm good at doing. All of these years though I've rarely traveled for me, rarely traveled and enjoyed where I am.

Mostly I'll pack the pickup with tent/sleeping bag/misc stuff, strap on (easy boys) the kayak/surf board/bike and hit the road.

Pride in Atlanta in late June - can't miss that. July in Alaska I'm thinking (not driving but fly in). I have never felt so centered as I am when I'm in Valdez on the edge of the Chugach. Back to the east coast to where ever my truck is and then I'd like to head up to the Canadian Maritimes and take in the highland games in Antigonish Nova Scotia in late July. August will find me where ever - a bit of hurricane chasing up the East Coast would be amazing. It's been since high school and it's an wondrous thing, truly.

If I can fit in just half of it all. Alaska is on the mind for now.
