My Biggest Adventure




In a couple of weeks I'm about to launch my biggest adventure so far. I'm going out on my own "Travels With Charley in Search of America" (Charley's my dog - a poodle). I have a couple of days left of work, will tie up some things at home and then will head south for the winter.

I plan to log my trip here, which will help me organize memories, will be a reasonably easy way to let loved ones know where I am and that I'm safe, and will hopefully be  interesting to those who are just wondering what I've been up to. Am I excited? YES! Am I a little nervous? Yes. Am I ready for this? Ugh - not yet. There's so much to do, but I'm working on it.

The picture here is my home away from home. I've only been out camping in it a couple of times so far, but it seems like it will be a good fit for what I'm planning.

Many people have told me they could only imagine quitting their job and going traveling before they're old enough for retirement. Only time will tell whether this is one of the best decisions I've ever made or one of the worst. But I'm ready to take a chance to find out. Wish me well. And if you want to meet up somewhere out there, let me know!
