Time Warp

This will be my fist blog... but "this ain't my first rodeo" as they say.  I've done a lot of travelling, both for work and on my own, mostly with just a backpack and a smile.

I'm going on a trip, a journey not just physically but also mentally.  This "Time Warp" was also tied into the fact that I found all my old travel photos the other day, from a time when people still used film in stead of memory cards to capture our memories.

After the ups and downs of last year I'm giving my self a destination vacation.  This blog will be a way for those that know me and care (all 3 of them) to follow my trip and keep tabs on what I'm doing..... hmmm maybe I shouldn't tell my friends, if did maybe they will affect what I say or what I will reveal.  

My trip is one month away and I am going to the city I was born, but have never really known.  This will be my chance to change all that.  Unlike may of the other places I've seen this time will be different since I speak the local language, that will change my experience for certain.

Thinking about travel, my mind wandered back to those first trips I took many years ago.  Trying to think of a name for this blog brought me back to a single moment in time with such clarity I can smell the scent of new plastic and material in a luggage store on Manhattan Island's little Italy in NYC.

That day I had been looking around for a the bag that would be my home during my first European backpacking adventure.  I found a few good choices but when I tried on this green bag from Eagle Creek, and the owner said this model was called "Endless Journey" right away I was hit with a feeling that this was the one and that I was headed for an adventure never to be forgotten.  So hence the name of the blog because it really is a reflection of my travel philosophy both past, present and future.

There is no stop, there is no end... it will be a continuum.

Anyways as first pots go this is not all that exciting.
