I am always on the go. But every so often I get some time off and I love to travel. So again I’m on the go….just in a different way!
I just got back with my worn map of Mexico in hand from a trip south of the border. I had a great time and it got me thinking about maps. I always like to do research before my trips and so I have amassed a collection of maps. In my desk at this moment are a map of Maryland, a map of New Jersey and a a map of Ohio. Maps surround me while I work. I have an antique map of Middle East on the wall in my office.
As I said I love to travel and having maps around helps me to keep my thirst of knowledge about our world quenched between trips. I have quite a collection of photographs from my past trips. However there is nothing like planning a new trip and the anticipation and joy that this brings.
