The Beginning

I feel very fortunate that I've been able to travel over the last 20+ years and have had some great trips that have created wonderful memories.  September 2, 2015,  I will be heading out on an opportunity of a lifetime with my sister-in-law, Paulette from Goldendale, WA.

St. James Cathedral
This adventure, Camino Del Norte, has been over a year in planning.  We will start in Bilbao and walk to Santiago De Compostela.  A total of 420 miles.  It is an opportunity that I really didn't think I would get due to work and family responsibilities. But then, if you don't ask, you don't receive. So I asked and everyone said "Yes"!  

I am so thankful for the support of my wonderful husband, John.  He has been by my side now for 23 years and has been a great support all these years.  He'll be taking care of Jake, working hard, mowing the lawn, and cheering me on from home.

Camino Del Norte
I have the most incredible boss.  How many bosses say; "Sure, take month off, we'll be here waiting when you return."?  Well, mine did.  Thank you, Mark.  Then the super support of my co-workers, who will be handling my work for an entire month in addition to their own.  WOW!  Isn't that just incredible!!

My wonderful sister-in-law, Paulette, said "Let's do it." without a moments hesitation when I asked her and she will be a great travel companion.  She is along for the fun, adventure, and experience.

Hope you enjoy the photos and experiences we have and I appreciate you stopping by to check it out.
