Islands

My "bucket list" is growing! Added the three US states that I have not been in yet, Alaska, Hawaii and West Virginia. Also added Galapagos Islands, in conjunction with hubby's bucket list. He has mentioned this dream for years, to go to Galapagos Islands and seeing the extraordinary wildlife. I have seen TV shows and photos now and then from there and was not sure if it was high on my list or not.

The other day a travel brochure came in the mail from National Geographic about a trip there. I thought hubby had ordered the brochure, but he claims, "Not." Anyway these islands do look like an interesting place for a photographer! At a cost of around $7000 for the trip (including airfare) I need to walk at least 700 miles to earn my $10/mile for trips. At my current rate of miles per day that's about 15 and half months! Besides walking to get in shape, I might as well walk for a major photography trip to a place not too many people can say they have been.

Sooo many places to see, sooo little time! I guess I'd better get out walking!

That sounds like fun. I still remember you had a friend from Kodiak, Alaska too. I forget her name. That was over 30 years ago.
