Travel

In 2009 I applied for my passport and needed to go down to the post office to have my I.D. validated. A short and funny dialogue will always stick out in my mind as I can still remember the puzzled look on the clerks face.

Clerk: Where are you going?

Me: Italy.

Clerk: When?

Me: I don't know yet.

That was 2009 and it wasn't until 2012 that I had the chance to have my passport stamped with an impromptu trip to Tokyo, Japan. I had a friend that worked for a large computer company and since the 5 star hotel accommodations were already paid for, all I needed to do was get there. It was a fun way to start my international travel days. Since then I have had the great fortune of traveling in the U.S. and abroad many times around.

I had a dream to make it to Italy and travel the Euro-train with a loaf of bread, a block of cheese and a bottle of Chianti for so long.

Well, I have far exceeded my dream and have a bunch of great stories, with some great photos to share and talk about.
