My December Adventure
Well, it bit me. Hard. The travel bug. A few years ago when I was still in college and studying Anthropology, it seemed like I was in another country every few months. Peru, Belize, Costa Rica, San Juan, Czech Republic, Germany…you get the idea. I did a lot of fieldwork in interesting places and met some amazing people.
(BELOW: ME in PRAGUE in ’05…for kicks)
Me in Prague in '05...for kicks!
Since then, my travel has been primarily business – mostly trips to NY every month (which I love dearly!) but I’ve been itching to get back out in the world. SO. I’ve decided that, to the best of my abilities, I will take each December to travel to a different continent and explore for a month.
DECEMBER 2008? Destination: The Middle East.
And I’m depending on YOU guys, my YouTube fans, my MySpace friends, my fellow Facebookers, my Small World peeps, to be my guide and help me navigate my way around Dubai, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, and Turkey for the month of December.
I’ll do a video blog explaining tomorrow.
Basically, I have a one-way ticket to Dubai and the rest…is ????

The password at the cave door is “Open Sesame”. Since I told you, you’ve got to give me one of your three wishes when you rub the magic lamp! Of course, I’d wish for you. <3
Hahaha, ok, maybe not; but that sounded so funny and cheesily romantic that I put it for your amusement. :P
I’ve got “1001 Arabian Nights” here if you need to study up on Middle Eastern culture. I’m sure most of it’s still accurate. Anyway, enjoy your magic carpet ride and WATCH OUT FOR MIRAGES! There are NO water fountains in the desert. For that matter, the Ark of the Covenant’s probably not out there either. Sorry to disappoint. :(

Ohh yeah, the travel bug bite. I thought they had a shot for that… the only cure for it I’m aware of is a lot of sunshine and fresh air. Bummer, what a tough diagnosis. Hope it didn’t leave a nasty puncture wound!
