Why we travel...

"People travel for many different reasons: some to confirm the sights they have seen in books, others travel to challenge their existing beliefs about the world; others travel to forget, and still others travel to remember. Some travel to feel connected with the world, while others travel to be alone. I travel for the sights and stories, for the people and the places; to hear the heartbeat of the world, and to beat in tune with it.

I travel for the beautiful conversations with strangers at unsuspecting moments, I travel for the common and the not so common, for the sights and the stories, for the people and the places; to hear the heartbeat of the world, and to beat in tune with it.

To travel, in short, is to understand the meaning of Life and all that's in it."

I found these quotes on a fellow traveler's (Jane P) blog while searching on Trip Advisor about our upcoming trip to the "End of the World" in Ushuaia, Argentina. It spoke to me!

West Tennessee Healthcare Gala

Darrell and I had fun at the West Tennessee Health Care Gala. This is the "big" charity event of the year in Jackson. Our dear friends - Katherine and Tyler Swindle received the Community Service Award that evening! I helped with the Gala Committee this year working on the Silent Auction - with a fun group of ladies!
