Since the last day of February till the later part of May I took four major recreational trips, two of which were out of the country. I never planned to do so much traveling all at once when I started setting up some of these trips, but it kind of snowballed. I traveled for the first time to Hawaiʻi with my photo workshop on the beautiful island of Kauaʻi. I traveled to Mexico for the second time (the first time in about 20 years) with my photo tour in Yucatán. After six decades I finally traveled to Europe with my sightseeing vacation to România. Finally, I returned to Utah on a photographic tour adventure seeing the special majestic western landscapes in that state for only the second time in my life (although I’d crossed the state many times blindly commuting). My rough estimate is that I logged roughly 24,950 flight miles, which kind of shocks me as it is about the same as the distance around the Earth.
I really enjoyed each of the trips, and the traveling, but doing so much in such a short time became a bit hectic … and I’m glad to be hanging out around home for a while before my next adventure.
