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!

Packing begins..


So the week starts tomorrow with the task of careful packing. Due to the size of my pack, a 3500 cubic inch Gregory Deva, as well as the straps I have a duffle bag to place around my packed pack. After doing my trial walking about 2 miles, rounding up and feeding horses at a friends, the pack is getting an A+ rating for comfort. It is best to pack your backpack with all the items not allowed on the plane as well as the bulk of your clothes and send it as checked baggage. With the new rules of only one checked bag,this works best. The other carry on will include camera, jacket change of clothes including the shoes for hiking. It looks like I will be able to get it all in the duffle. We will see tomorrow.
