miLE 13,830 - Couldn't Keep Up

I'm sitting here at a restaurant called Javi's at John Wayne airport in Orange County thinking back to about 3 months ago when I started writing this blog and was in Europe and realized that I was out of my mind thinking I could write a post every day while traveling.  It's no excuse but trying to write on this blog with only an iPad with very intermittent WiFi was very difficult.  Not to mention how exhausting every day and night was. 

I'm probably not going to go into as much detail about the end of my Europe trip but to summarize, after Cologne I went to Amsterdam, Ghent, Bruges, Edinburgh and then spent a couple days back in London.  I'm doing the trip a disservice when I say it was amazing.  It's one of those life changing trips that I truly enjoyed in many ways.  I was so nervous about traveling alone but it ended up being the right balance of traveling alone, traveling with friends and meeting friends along the way.

I think what I will do from now on is to summarize big chunks of a trip and not try to do a daily blog.  I'm still planning on doing many more trips - as you might have realized I'm on my way to another destination right now.  It's actually not international but I'm actually still pretty excited about it.  I'm heading to Portland for the weekend to see a good buddy of mine and also check out the 2017 Eclipse that everyone is talking about.  I know it's not quite once in a lifetime chance to see a total eclipse but it's a pretty rare event so I'm super excited to go check it out. 

That's all for now. Boarding in a few minutes.  Like I said I'm not going to commit to doing a blog a day but I will try my best to stay active.  Note that I tend to post a lot more often on my instagram where you can usually see daily pictures.  In fact you can go check out the rest of the pictures from my Europe trip there.

See you at the next mile!
