This was a timely article for me. It is not so much because of travel itself, which I have been doing more of since 2010, but it was a reminder that I need to live life by my own terms in other areas of my life. I have been getting many reminders in the past few days from many sources to do so.

For my travel goals in the next year, I plan to visit Las Vegas twice for Steve's upcoming workshops. I desire to visit Zion Canyon during one of those trips. I also want to visit San Diego. I have been wanting to go to San Diego for a while, and I will do it by February. I have been to 10 US states this year. Right now, I get more excited about US travel, as I want to visit all 50 states.

I have been out of the US once on a trip to Moscow, Russia, and it was an interesting experience. It was not an easy place to visit, and I had a lot of headaches with sending a package to Russia for my trip. The package never made it to Russia, but I still went anyway, even though the contents of the package was important to my purpose of being there. I had many sleepless nights over all of the stuff that needed to be taken care of to make the trip possible. I barely know any Russian, so I had to rely on those who both knew English and Russian. Once I got there, I felt very calm, even though Moscow is far from paradise. Its grit is part of its charm.

With my current situation, I have been finding myself having many sleepless nights fussing over it. Thank you Steve for helping me inch closer to my goal.
