Anticipation

I think that much of the joy in a trip like this is the anticipation. We talked about this trip for so long that when we actually started the planning, a lot was already sort of done. We each had ideas of where we wanted to go in Alaska, and just tailored the trip to fit our thoughts. The real challenge was keeping the trip to a reasonable amount of time.

Someday, when I am retired, I hope to be well enough to have the freedom to travel as I wish. But for now, I am satisfied with traveling with my friends and loved ones when the opportunity avails itself.

I have always had that wanderlust. Even as a child, I was ready to go whenever the folks wanted to. In that way I am definitely in touch with my inner golden retriever, ready to jump in the car at the least opportunity. I think that is one reason I love my job, is that I get to travel and to see Maine from one end to the other.

But for now, I should travel off to bed. I bid you all goodnight.
