February 18
Remember when I punked out of a March trip to Jordan and Egypt because the three months at the end of the year did me in? This is my host in Jordan, Mindy, and here she is in Dubai having finished a Spartan Race. You can find Spartan Races all over the world and I’ll only say it looks like a tryout for the Navy Seals, if the Navy Seals operated in the desert.
A few days ago I said my eye had turned to St Petersburg-Tallinn-Riga-Vilnius-Minsk which is true, but this can be a late summer early fall trip. Jordan and Egypt needs to be in Spring, March-April-May for the best chance of good weather. Maybe the Baltic this Fall and Mindy in Spring 2020? 2020, WOW.
