So I think that I have the basics of this thing the way that I want it and will be making changes as I get used to the darn interface, but that will mainly be cosmetic.
So the main reason that I started this is
1) I was being pestered by a friend for more info on my trips (Love you M)
2) I wanted something a bit more substantial then Facebook posts to remember my adventures
3) Finally, I am about to take a trip to some amazing locations and I wanted to be able to share my misadventures.
So in the next six months I have trips planned that will take me to three continents, eight countries and will compete in three marathons and four triathlons. While I am very excited, I have a feeling that I will be very tired.
My first excursion starts on Nov 5th, way too early in the morning, when I leave Doha for Istanbul. I am very excited to be in a city that bridges Europe and Asia, along with the Christian and Muslim religions. I am in Istanbul for one night before I head to Central Turkey for the City of Goreme. For hiking, hot air balloon rides and any other mischief I can get into. I return to Istanbul for two days and then I am off to Athens where I will meet up with friends from Houston, that is if a strike does not interrupt transportation. KNOCK ON WOOD. We are getting together to run the Athens Marathon. As you know, no Holly vacation is complete without a race. :)
After Athens, the group splits and a few of us are heading to Santorini and last but not least Prague.
Phew! This is going to be a great 17 days. I plan to post my adventures along the way.
Here is to a travel, shopping, friends, food and fun. I can not wait. Only one more day of work and then I can escape.
My next post should be from Istanbul!
So for now, good night from Doha!
