Dealing With Some Minor Setbacks…
Every good plan has it’s setbacks. Everyday can’t be just “hoops and glitter.”
We have been traveling for about three months now. For the first two and half months we didn’t have any mishaps, setbacks or unexpected challenges. Then November arrived and our luck changed. We never anticipated getting through this trip scot free, but the succession of mishaps this month is fairly discouraging. First, our iPods started to fritz out, then we forgot some items at a hostel (pocket knife and wine key). However, the deepest cut was when we lost our CAMERA (or it was taken from our bag on the bus). November has not been kind to us.
The good news: nobody was hurt, we still like each other and cameras are replaceable. Life is full of tragedies, but if our greatest tragedy in this life of travel is losing our camera, then I think we’ll come out on top.
I guess what all this really means is that for the time being, we have to become better writers since we won’t have many pictures for you. Bear with us as we learn to paint a picture with words. But please have mercy on us; it’s a work in progress.

Some travelers spend so much time lookin’ thru a lens, they forget to open their eyes and really SEE . It’ll just make you pay closer attention. Happy trails and Thanksgiving!! Cheryl

An Englishman once told me: “A mild stumble may prevent a fall”
For vicarious desk bound travelers like myself the story is just getting good!
