Introduction

Hello, I joined in '98 to learn about adventure travel. Now that the outfitter horizon is wide open, hiking in Ireland, Dharamsala, or VeraCruz are at the top of the list.

How many countries have you been to? (don't worry, this is not a test :)

Mexico City DF, Xalapa Veracruz, Mexico; Haliburton Canada; Paradise Island, Bahamas.

What is your favorite travel experience?

Xalapa Veracruz, Mexico 2000. Aunt's 50th as a Nun. Trying to keep pace w/the Nuns hiking up local hills. Best Mexican food I ever had (sorry Mom) all mountain-side yard grown goodies - safe water! Meeting my mom's girlhood convent buddies.

If money, time-off, and destination options were no object, name your dream adventure travel destinations?
