While sailing through the Galapagos I came upon 'Ye Olde Pirate's Post Office', a relic from the 18th century, and used by whalers, sailors, and pirates alike. You just put an addressed letter in the barrel, and hopefully, someone would get it and bring it to the other person. It worked pretty well, as my mother got the postcard!

I sincerely hope all of you and your friends and families are well. I came across this photo recently and it gave me a huge sense of empathy. Many feelings I can hardly explain, but it was taken in Kashmir, summer-1989. That morning I took a shikara to Srinigar. What a fantastic day that was. In town, I walked amongst the locals as I meandered up to Shankaracharya temple. Incredible views of Lake Dal. There I sat, literally breathing it all in. I've often thought international travel should be taught in school, and be a required course at that. Just as important as mathematics or history, for without travel how would we have known of the Greeks, Chinese, Inca? Time of my life, it was. Good times. Stay safe, and happy holidays!

There is, for me, a special, higher form of excitement that comes with the knowledge that I am about to take a journey. Traveling by ship I will eventually reach the tiny island of Roatan(Honduras). That marked awareness of such an emotion still lives in me, and it makes me remember.

Lose yourself, as I did, in order to find yourself, somewhere out there. Just plop yourself down in a place you don't recognize, and begin to explore life. Find a friend, get something to eat, wander the streets, talk to people, breathe the local air. Discover as much as you wish. That's a start. That is how to travel.

"I wandered through the forest of white and wound my way along the narrow path. I soaked up the warmth, sheltered by the crush. As I rounded the corner I was suddenly taken by my view. I stared in admiration, engulfed in a naturally colorful wonder. It suddenly became evident that my exact location carried far less significance than my feelings."

So I recently returned from a trip out of country, and I can honestly say that nothing compares to travel. I felt free, and easy. I could breathe, enjoy the days, and let my mind wander. I welcomed that, as I would an old friend, and look forward to my next journey.
