This blog is strictly a motivator…for me. Obviously I would love to have readers and comments and people who share their experiences and encourage mine. But ultimately it’s a device to keep me from doing what I say I want to do: travel.
That said, in a prior post I mentioned that this upcoming year would make it difficult to travel. This is for various reasons. One of those is some major surgery I’m having done. Cutting to the chase, I have hip replacements and one of them needs replacing. Side Note: this should discourage anyone with health issues from letting that be a factor in their decision not to go–anywhere! It should also encourage anyone with scars or other “disfigurements” to go ahead and try out a nude beach. No one cares!
I saw my orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday and he pretty much told me I should have it done sooner rather than later. My plans for Christmas (in California) are set. My grandmother is having her 80th birthday in early February. In between I’m off to the ice hotel in Montreal. So basically February is the date.
This means I certainly won’t be traveling, or really even planning any travels. I suppose it’s good to get this out of the way early on in the blog before I have a bunch of readers to disappoint with 6 weeks of silence while I recuperate.
The good news is, once that’s done I’ll be back in good better form and, due to a convenient work benefits package, with all my vacation days in tact. I may even knock a trip off this list when I’m done to celebrate.
