That's right, I'm turning 40 this year.Having given up parties for travel after celebrating my 33rd birthday with an appendectomy, I had a lot of trouble deciding where to go for my 40th. Lisbon and St. Petersburg are on the top of my travel list but I wanted to do something adventuresome. Since I was a child, I've been fascinated with Kilimanjaro but I recognized I'm just not fit enough for such a trek (maybe when I turn 50?). I toyed briefly with the Incan Trail but my BP depression got the best of me. I feel like we are destroying the world and ruining the ocean so I decided to go to the Galapagos Islands before they are closed down. I want to see the sea turtles and Blue-Footed Boobies. I want to swim with sea lions in unpolluted water.
Provided I have web access, I'll update as I travel. (Didn't work so well in France. Will South America be better?)
