I was browsing through a book recently, entitled 1000 Places to Visit Before You Die, and I realized with a somewhat sinking feeling that, at age 55, I will probably never come close to seeing all of those beautiful and intriguing places. I am generally a very happy woman, and love my Lord, my life, and my family very dearly. I know that life is full of so many responsibilities that tend to tie one down, and I tend to be a very overly-responsible person. Still, there is a place deep within me that longs for a real adventure - a place in my heart of hearts that longs to throw caution to the wind and do something really exciting, even daring. So I guess my question is this: if you could have a singular adventure, what would it be? Where might you go, and/or what might you do?

Yikes... where does all the time go?

During my twenties and early thirties, my big dream was to go mountain climbing in the Andes mountains. Now anything very physical is unappealing :-) I have been to Europe and to parts of the Orient. So the last big adventure is probably Africa. I doubt I would seriously consider it if it weren't for the fact Julia is moving there! There is still lots of Europe I would like to see, but I wouldn't classify it as adventure.
Do it!!! Lewis and I want to sail to southern Mexico with my family!!!
I want to go skiing in Colorado (or the Alps??). Who can hook me up? And, if it's in the Alps, I have my own leiderhosen.
