The World is My Oyster

2014 is going to be a big year for me...I turn 50!!!  Hard to believe, but it's true.  I'm trying to decide what awesome trip I want to take to celebrate, but it's difficult.  You see, it occurred to me today that I love the world.  I love it so much, I can't decide where to go and what to see.  And even better, I LOVE my traveling companion.  Do we go somewhere we've been before?  Somewhere we'd like to live so we can preview it?  Someplace we've never been before?  Decisions, decisions!

We are going to South Korea with Elder B in the summer, to which we will probably tack on a side trip to Japan, maybe add Mongolia or Malaysia (or both) and/or Vietnam.  But then my other choices include, but are not limited to:

1)  San Marino for a MotoGP race, followed by the Greek Islands, then up to Romania
2)  An African safari
3)  Australia/New Zealand
4)  A Trans-Siberian Railway "cruise"
5)  San Marino to Southern France to Spain
6)  Southeast Asia with Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia
7)  Scandinavia
8)  Austria, Czech, Romania, Poland, Russia
9)  The Inca Trail
10)  The Galapagos and Easter Island (which could be attached to the Inca Trail trip)

I'm grateful to have choices, and grateful to live in such a beautiful world.

Rowdy and I went to Colin Edward's Texas Tornado Boot Camp last April, after the Circuit of the Americas MotoGP race.  I can't believe I didn't blog about it.  It was so! much! fun!!!  Better than Disneyland!

Kate Erwin was in my rider group.  She's a multi-talented journalist/stylist/biker chick from NYC and quite a hoot to hang out with.
