Here it is, 2012. 2 years have passed since out last global adventure. That is not to say that we have stayed home the past 2 years, we have just had other adventures, like an amazing trip to South Africa, a month of roaming the beaches north of SanDiego, and couple of weeks in CostaRica. But, I'm getting off track, back to the scavenger hunt. The pain and frustration of 2 years ago has faded sufficiently that we are doing it once again. Yes, I do remember what I said after the 2008 and 2010 trips. The problem is, that, the mystery of not knowing where you're going and the joy if finding destinations that weren't on your radar screen gets in your blood. Yes, we're addicts, travel junkies and proud of it.
We leave on April 12 and meet with the rest of the hunters on the 13th, with bag packed and ready to roll. We start in SanFrancisco and this year we will finish in Washington D.C. on May 5.
Cheer us on.

January 9,2010

Hello everyone

The date is January 9, 2010, and yes, Joanne and I have done it again. We've signed up for another Global Scavenger Hunt. Yes, we did whine and complain, a lot, about the lack of sleep, the endless hours on airplanes and in security lineups, the very early wake up calls, the extreme heat and exhaution but we liken it a little to child birth (an area where we both have soooo much experience) where you forget about the painful bits and revel in the great bits. In any case,
we thought if we were to ever do it again, this is the time so we're off to parts unknown on
April 9 and back on May 1. This time we will try to do a better job of keeping our blog up to date.
Before then, we're spending a week in Baja and have a condo on the outskirts of Cabo.
I'm specifying "on the outskirts" cause we're both way too old to be in the centre of this party town that is totally geared to 18 - 30 year olds. However, we are close enough that we could have a week of partying to get us into shape for GSH. - nahh, not going to happen : )
We'll update as we get info.
