Missing Link

I’ve found recently – within the past year and a half or so – that I really like to travel. I enjoy spending time in new places, seeing new things and doing new things.  But, you already knew that (I’ve said as much very recently). I’ve had a chance to visit a lot of new places within the last year, and this past weekend added another place to the list: Denver Colorado.

I was in Denver with my wife and my immediate family for my cousin Mike’s wedding.  I’ve grown fond of big family get-togethers as I have several cousins who are not too far off from my age.  I’m sure when I was younger I was seen as the annoying younger cousin, but now that I’ve gotten older I relate to them a lot more.  It was good to get to see them and talk to them, and in general to spend time with my family.  Besides – there was an open bar and live band – how can you not have at least a LITTLE fun with that?

A wonderful opportunity is in front of me – one that I am highly excited about. Through a (very fortunate) set of events, I may be getting an all-expenses paid trip to Tel Aviv, Israel.

I’ve been very fortunate the past year and a half. I’ve been able to do quite a bit of travel – both for business and pleasure – to places I had not previously visited.

I’ve always wanted to travel and see new places and things. It’s exciting to explore new areas, see and do new things, and experience new climates and habitats.

Within the past year and a half I’ve spent time in Baltimore, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Monterrey, Carmel Valley, San Simeon, Tampa Bay and – of course – Indianapolis.  Tomorrow I will be adding Denver to that list.

And now soon I will perhaps be adding my first international destination to the list.  I’m not sure I’d normally choose Israel as the first international destination I’d travel to, but I certainly will not pass up the opportunity if it fully materializes.

Now I just need to get my passport sorted out and I’ll be all set….
