Mt. Whitney in 2010

So as I was checking out my Facebook page this morning I came across a posting by my friend Raul. It read simply,"2010 Goal - Summit Mt. Whitney." Now, I'm not one to believe in signs or omens...much, but I found it odd that only a week ago I had the same thought come to mind. Not sure why or how it came in to my mind. I do not even like climbing mountains, yet it seemed like a great reason to get in shape. Also, I need a challenge...a big challenge. Tomorrow I'm going to start working out again. If all things go well, I should summit Mt. Whitney with Raul sometimes between next August and October. I'll keep you posted...

Where I Would Like to Visit in my Life.

For a long time I have always enjoyed traveling to new places. Often thoughts of new experiences and places to visit come to mind, yet I forget to write them down. Today felt like a good time to finally construct a first attempt at a rudamentary list of destinations I would like to visit in my life. Eventually, as this list expands, it will include more detail and become more specific as to what I would like to do when I get there.

Here is my list so far:





Brazil - Rio De Janeiro during Canival, The Amazon
Costa Rica
Belize - Mayan Ruins
Mexico - Mexico City, Acapulco, Cozumel, Cancun, Teotihuacan, Mayan and Aztec Ruins
Portugal
Azores
Greece - Athens
England - London
Ireland - Dublin, Giants Cause Way
India - Mumbai

The South Pacific Islands - Fiji, Oceana, Bora Bora
The Caribbean - Jamaica, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Cuba
