Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?

For those I haven't had a chance to catch up with yet...

Who? Just me :)

What & Where? I quit my job and am going traveling! Two weeks from today I leave for Cozumel Mexico...one-way ticket. I'll be spending a week there with my family before continuing on my own to Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Then on to Argentina, Chile and Bolivia (Bolivia depends on the political situation improving). Hopefully Peru as well before heading back north to Panama and Costa Rica again. Specific locations and stay durations are open.

When? September 20th through TBD. Late May I'll be back in Utah for a friends wedding...but other than that it's open.

Why? I have found it interesting that when I tell people I'm taking time off to go traveling, they seem to fall into two groups: those who ask 'why' and those who don't. Those who don't ask, don't really need the answer to this question...they already understand. And for those who do ask 'why' and aren't satisfied with my 'why not' answer...here are just a few of my reasons: to learn, explore, experience, grow, discover, contribute...all while improving my Spanish fluency.

How? Nest egg...I'm a saver.

Yikes...I am still tearful, it's hard to let you go but I am very excited for you to be off on your great adventure. Who whould have thought our quiet, little Cori (yes, I know your friends know a different Cori:-) beginning with small timid steps is now taking giant leaps and bounds. You are tucked so very close to my heart Cori, I love you. Maybe dad and I will have to visit you in Panama for some slammers on the beach! You will make your mark in this world and touch many lives along the way. Be safe!
