The adventure is getting closer.....

I am now 4 weeks away from sailing on my Grand Asia & Australia Voyage. It seems strange because that means summer is coming to a close. Kids are going back to school soon and the weather will start getting cooler. Yep, it's getting to be that time again when I head off for a new adventure and leave cold weather behind (hopefully). I had a great summer! I got to see lots of friends and got in a lot of quality beach time. I once again spent time in Ocean City, New Jersey with the Frank family....always a fun time. I also got to spend time in Delaware where most of my family lives and some of my closest friends. I was in heaven when I returned to Rehoboth Beach, a beach I have been going to since I was a kid. I went to Chincoteague Island, Virginia to see friends from the Asia Voyage last year which was great.... first visit. The Outer Banks of North Carolina was another beach destination.... I also got a lot of things accomplished at home.... a place where I really enjoyed spending time after being gone for 7 months. I was also able to get 3 books put together and published from my "megavoyage". It was a lot of work but worth the time. All in all it has been a fabulous summer. My sister Lisa asked me to add the following: “spending time with my sister, Lisa, who is the greatest sister anyone could ever have, was definitely the highlight of my summer”. It's not over yet.... I head north next week for some final visits with family and friends and.... beach time. After Labor Day I have to start getting serious about planning this upcoming voyage.
