Motorcycle Adventures

This was the first time in many years (close to 9 years) that I’ve been on a vacation for any extended period of time by myself.

In some ways it was difficult to convince myself to go alone. I’m glad I did.

It was different in many ways compared to going with someone else. It was great to do everything on my own schedule. It was nice to be able to make plans, have early starts to my day, and to not have to stop for someone else when I wasn’t ready.

It was however not as good as sharing the experience with my sweetie or a good friend. I enjoy the company and the social aspect of being with someone, and so in this respect I felt my trip lacked.

It was ultimately very much worth going, and given a time when I wasn’t able to go with someone, I wouldn’t hesitate to go on my own again.

I loved staying in the backpackers lodge. It was very affordable, yet still private. It was clean and comfortable. I would happily go back again. It was much more comfortable than camping, and it made poor weather enjoyable.

I very much enjoyed my time with Larry and his family and am very grateful for thier wonderful hospitality.

Of course the best part of being away, especially without Nicole, is coming home. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to see Nicole this afternoon. I love missing my wonderful wife this much, even after all the great years we’ve been together.

Photos from my trip will be available shortly.
