I still have the travel bug. I seem to be incapable of staying at home for long. I created all the excuses for the business trips. I am thinking of going to HZ before the end of the year. There is a 50km hiking event in Oct. But I don't think I will be able to make it. I wish I could. I like to challenge myself. I will probably go to Shenandoah's old rag area to hike in a few weeks. I proposed a LA trip in thanksgiving week but it was vetoed. The era of cheap air travel may end in a decade. I would like to go to as many places as possible.
