For the past 4 years , I have left the cold months of NYC and spent them wandering this round thing we all live on.  So I've decided to start a blog to share my thoughts and photos with anyone who wants to read and for those of you out there with Facebook phobia...you know who you are.  Well I'm down to 3 days before departure.  Slowly but surely checking things off my list of errands and last minute tasks before being away from home for 11 weeks.  This year I'll be heading to Egypt, Jordan and Israel with a short trip two week trip to Mexico at the end.  I'm really going to Cuba (unofficially) but Cancun is officially where I'll be stepping of the plane since Cuba is still so "hush hush."  Anyway, that's still 2 months away.

Now where's my passport.
