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!

the night before.....

Its 10:00pm and by dear friend Elaine is driving me to Tampa where I catch the early bird flight. Luckily the rain stayed in south FL. After weighing my bags for a grand total of 70lbs in 3 bags. I was still trying to out think the TSA and what I could carry on and what needed to be checked. With all the changes in regulatory guidlines, it is best to check their website or call them direct. That's what I did. After stating my name address and shoe size (not really), I learned that it really was up to the airlines! Go figure.
I am wired to say the least. It is currently snowy and of course freezing but the sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. It must know I am coming for a visit :). A word to the wise....myself included, don't second guess what you have planned to pack! If you do, you may end up bringing things you don't need and be stuck with no space to put the things you bought because you forgot to bring them. I have actually heard that people will bring a wee bit and buy the rest when they get to where they are going. I am not there yet. Tomorrow is an early day. Land in Jackson Hole at noon. Hopefully , Micheal has not frozen and will be there to pick me up.
And so the adventure begins! Tracey
