That feeling when plans keep changing
My plans keep changing. Remember when I was going to go to Israel and Jordan in the fall of 2020? We all know what happened next. I rescheduled for the fall of 2021. In late 2020, a vaccine was on the horizon, and once I was vaccinated, I was planning to be on the go…

Planning: Like Juggling Live Fish
Planning my upcoming trip to Turkey, Ethiopia, Israel, and Jordan has become a huge challenge. And considering I’m going on a tour, that’s a pretty remarkable statement. I’ve planned complete two- and three-week adventures all by myself, and it hasn’t been this complicated. I’ve already postponed this trip twice due to Covid, and now it…
