Climb Every Mountain

My pal Steph (aka Gadora Wilder, aka Scrape Myrtle) has a big birthday coming up in April 2011. Her celebratory dream is to hike with a group of gals to see the sun rise over Machu Picchu. Lovely soul that she is, Steph has asked if I'd like to join the celebration. Though not currently on my personal bucket list, I can't imagine a more wonderful time than experiencing this ancient place with some excellent girlfriends. Ergo, I am counting myself "in."

The prospect of this trip has inspired in me an interest in this place. Though not previously on my personal radar, I'm finding myself fascinated by this sacred Incan settlement. To boot, Steph's enthusiasm for the adventure is inspiring in and of itself.

So begins the research, planning and saving. I'm finding more and more that, in additional to rekindling my passion for writing, I am also feeling attracted to travel and adventure. I suffer from an affliction known as FOMO, and can't seem to pass up any opportunity. So let's throw a little trip to Peru on the pile and see what happens!
