I like to be busy, and my agenda is starting to look pretty full for the next few months. Tomorrow, we leave for Mexico, for five days. Puerto Vallarta. It’s my fifth time there, and Mark’s fourth time there. We’re going to be sharing an Airbnb with another couple. We’ve never really vacationed with another couple, so it’ll be interesting. We’re going to Philadelphia over Thanksgiving for a few days, and then comes the big trip in December to…

Kenya and Ethiopia!! We’ll visit Nairobi and Mombassa in Kenya, and Addis Ababa and Lalibela in Ethiopia. I have just a few days to rest up after the Africa trip, and then I’m off to…

Amsterdam!! I will be taking the next level of my Dutch class. The class is for two weeks, and I’m tacking on another five days on top of that. Then I fly back to New York for about ten days, and then I’m off to…

Ghana!! I’m participating in another Mission Rabies venture. I’ll be working with an international team of veterinarians and assistants, vaccinating as many dogs as possible. It’s a two-week project. (Please consider support by donating and/or sharing the donation page on your social media.)

I come back to New York in mid-February. I have no plans yet for the rest of February or the months of March and April, but in mid-May, Mark and I are off again. We’re heading to…

Peru!! We’re going to Machu Picchu, a place Mark has wanted to visit for a long time. We’re doing it through Detours Travel, a gay tour company. We’ve never done a gay tour before, but their reviews are excellent, and their Peru tours always sell out fast. We’ve tacked on an extra two days in Lima at the start of the trip, and at the end of the trip.
