The flights are booked. The gears are in motion and in a couple of months I’ll be in Peru. Still a long way to go in nailing down the exact details of where in Peru, but Machu Picchu is definitely on the list. I am very excited. Seems like the start of life becoming more interesting.

If all goes well Peru will be the first of two trips into the mountains this year, with a trek into the Rockies being the second more permanent trip. Mary and I decided that we have to make a move this year. Have to. It’ll be hard to leave family and everything familiar behind, but it just doesn’t make sense anymore not to live in an environment that really makes me/us happy. Since we can’t afford the ocean, mountains it is. Again, I am very excited.
