About Me and My Blog

My photo
Hi Welcome to my blog! With so many people I wanted to share my travels with I thought this would be a perfect way. If in reading this blog you would like to share it with others, please do so. I am dental hygenist during the day and traveler when ever I can. I enjoy going to a different place and experience when ever I have a vacation break from work. I love to take pictures wherever I go and I have been to many places both here and abroad over the last 3 years. My big adventure for my birthday was to Yellowstone,Grand Tetons and Jackson Wyoming. I met a friend there who is on his own adventure. We camped and hiked in the park and some back country overnights. This was my first time with the backpacking overnights but my friend was a perfect teacher with his experience and patience. A little bit more about me....I am 54 and have raised my children thru college.I have recently moved back to my hometown of Winter Park Florida and am regaining many of my fond memories as well as making new ones! I hope to share my experiences and adventures with others in hopes to encourage us to go out there and see some stuff!

6 more days.

Hello all. This is the start of my 'packing' countdown. Six more days and I will be in Jackon Wyoming to start my adventure. I am a bit excited to say the least. Today I have my pack loaded for an overnight hike...this can be for one or two nights.....and will doing a walk about on my friends farm in NFM. It will give me a bit of a taste of walking a mile or so in full gear. No worries, I will post a photo to share! Right now, my pack comes in at 20lbs without food. I expect that another 5lbs for food will do the trick. This includes of course my inflatable bedding and teddy bear for sleeping. Trying to go light is not as hard as it seems. One must be ready though to throw all 'stylishness' to the wind. Hence the reason for 3 shades of khaki and neon shirts with the everso girly, hiking boots. Don't laugh, that is what saves you in the long run, not the outfit.
So hope you enjoy my first attempt at Bloggin' and again feel free to share with your peeps---who knows!? They may want to go for it themselves.
