According to www.whereivebeen.com<\/a>, I’ve seen 8% of the world.\u00a0 If I’m 32 years old, which I must painfully admit that I am, I have a lot of making up to do.\u00a0 My brother, who is the more diligent writer on this blog, has been to 25 countries in his 27 years of life.\u00a0 He got a jump on me because caught the wanderlust at age 16, and I’m not sure I’ll ever catch up.<\/p>\n

As we left Colombia earlier this week, my oldest son was insisting that we come back someday.\u00a0 As much as I’d like to, I’m not sure\u00a0we ever will… at least not to the same city.\u00a0 I already have a sailing trip from Panama’s San Blas Islands to the walled Colombian port\u00a0city of Cartagena very high on my travel priority list, but I’m not sure life will allow me a second trip to Medellin.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of sad to think of it that way… but I like to think of it as footprints.\u00a0 Each place we’ve traveled, we’ve left little remnants behind – a friendship, toys and goodies for children,\u00a0a carving in a tree (the authorities in the parque de los descalzos stopped me before I could get my trademark heart carved into a bamboo stalk).\u00a0 And those places have similarly left an impression on me\u00a0–\u00a0ciclids nibbling at my legs at a\u00a0Mayan swimming hole in\u00a0Belize, the sparkle of the crown jewels\u00a0in the Tower of London,\u00a0\u00a0the drooping ears and scarred faces of Masai warriors in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

I have pictures, but who needs them?\u00a0 The memories that I have of our travels and adventure\u00a0experiences are my some of my fondest treasures, and even if I never return, I’ll always have them.<\/p>\n

Travel is not just for the uber-rich, it’s for the uber-desirous.\u00a0 Wanderlust with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
