Now everyone is going to ask you about the trip. You HAVE to go. That is a good thing. When you tell people, you are accountable. Now everyone is going to ask you about the trip. You HAVE to go.

That is a good thing.

You have the ones who travel to forget, to show off, to discover, to live their dream sparked by movies, books etc My difficult task is to accomodate all these different types! It helps to speak many languages and be familiar with different cultures, which comes natural to me as I was born in Europe and exposed to many different Cultures in my family.

How would I experience swimming the beaches of the world with that attitude? Then I found a home based business that incorporated travel and inspiration. The "old shoe" syndrome can be comfortable, but personal growth comes from getting out of the familiar to an unknown zone. What success story doesn't have a more eye opening history of the road to the top of the hill- that road to success? One of the surprising rewards of testing the uncharted waters is the discovery that loved ones support your passion, because it takes a person of courage to step out of mediocrity. My next swim- Gulf coast of Mexico. As a devout Home Body, the idea of travel seemed a huge burdensome task. How would I experience swimming the beaches of the world with that attitude?

I've given up on altitudes - after altitude sickness in both Bolivia and on Kilimanjaro, I have decided that altitudes don't agree with me. Good luck with your climb, Tammie.

Finally in 2006 I had massive amounts of vacation stored up and I finally started telling people I was doing it...and I did. I think as long as I kept it to myself I could chicken out without anyone knowing but as soon as I put it out there it became real and the next thing I knew I was on a plane to Thailand.

Without it'd we'd stall in our own ruts. And that thing about saying something out-loud? It's exactly what I had to finally do to push me to climb Grand Teton this fall. I had to say it out-loud in a very big way (made the committment through my blog site LOL) in order to push myself over that tiny bump I kept running into. Way to go on the 3 month sabbatical and it's so exciting that you've discovered how much of the world really wants to do something like that, and won't, and how much they admire someone who does.
