Growing up in an unincorporated town, I always hoped I could someday claim that I was a world traveler and while I have been up, up & away quite a lot – it seems my claim would have to be more of a work traveler than world.
If I sat down to make a list, I’ve probably “visited” the majority of the United States. Heck in the last month I’ve been to Seattle, Orlando, San Fran and their surrounding areas. Tomorrow I’m off to Phoenix for the remainder of the week. I can rattle off every work trip I’ve taken and I’d need at least all my fingers and toes to keep track, yet I couldn’t tell you the last time I took a vacation and I’d be lucky if the list filled my hands.
When we got married we opted to try for a baby and if we were lucky enough to succeed, our Costa Rican honeymoon would be delayed. A year and a half later, we are the proud parents to a beautiful baby boy and I’ve seen no sign of the sun, sand or a screwdriver since!
Mark my words, I will put my passport to good use – even if it means I travel alone. Before springtime I will be kicked back on a beach, sipping a margarita and zipping through the rainforest. Until then, I guess the warmth of the Arizona sun will do.
Finding a balance between being a career woman, wife, mother and friend.
