OK, so it’s only been about nine months since I’ve been on the road for real but it’s crazy how one can become so spoiled that you come to take for granted the things you love most about traveling. It’s not that things aren’t memorable or that you don’t appreciate them; it just seems that a lot of great experiences meld together and it becomes difficult to delineate the specifics at times.
Our first stop with our gracious hosts, Pat and Erin, has brought us back to the “right” frame of mind; that is, this it what it’s all about. Hanging with cool people who are genuinely excited to share their life experiences, not in a competitive fashion but simply out of shared enthusiasm for setting one’s priorities and doing the things that make us happy. Tanya and I could not have asked for a more hospitable pitstop on our way to Maine, complete with a welcoming glass of wine and an evening of stimulating, lively conversation accented with mutual admissions of choosing the wrong path at those times in life where being a jackass just seems like the thing to do. Needless to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it would have been great to have spent more time with our new friends had our traveling schedule permitted.
