In one month I'm off on my first RTW trip. After a year of planning, and years of dreaming, it's about to happen. My first stop is Paris followed by a month or so through eastern Europe and then on to Turkey.
The week before I leave, I'll be celebrating my 59th birthday. Some might think it crazy for a woman to be traveling solo at my age, but I think I'm up for it. Certainly enough planning and preparation went into this. Perhaps it's less daunting for me because for six months in my youth I roamed all over Europe with a friend. Over the years I've taken shorter trips, but nothing compares with this next adventure--one year, or longer, across the globe. There's a general plan in my mind but no specifics and no prepaid ticket.
This blog will be a way for friends and family to check in and encourage me on. I will miss each of you.
