Where was I since the last post?
As life mostly has it, I ran into a bump during the execution of my grand traveling bucket-list plans since the previous last post. Time between then and now, I had lost myself into a relationship for the past 4-5 years to realized, only after ending the relationship, how important it is for me to continue my travel goals to "find" and "be" the true me.
Fast Catch up on where I've been since last post.
From the last post, the last travel I have accounted in the blog was when Rana (now my ex husband) and I traveled to India. Since then we had also been to other places before we went our separate ways. Keeping to the objective, I am not only writing this to share my travel experiences but the blog also serves as a reminder to myself of how much I really was able to travel. So many obstacles and drama in life, how easy it is to forget some of the best moments in life. So in cliff notes version recounting my travels (since I started counting)

Where I left off and Where I am now.
The last post ended as I start up a new relationship with Marc, after my divorce with Rana. As I read (more like browsed) through the last post, I feel a bit of sadness of how hopeful of a future I had dreamt only to know, after half a decade, I had made little progress crossing off my travel bucket list.
Reboot, Initiate New Plan of Action!
So here I am, feeling like Dr. Who after a reboot, I am reintroducing myself to the world and redefining my philosophy in life. I want to stay in shape and continue my track around the world. In another attempt to hold myself accountable, I have set up a spreadsheet in Google docs, Bike Trips & Trails, to help keep track of my progress in spreadsheet format. I plan to update the list of bike trails I hope to explore locally and throughout the US as I work up to the longer international bike tours. I will also continue to update photos and blogs each day to document my travels as I go.........again.
