Distant places, places I've never even been, are shouting my name on top of a mountain in Uzbekistan. I fear I'm not alone. Numerous friends have expressed similar desires to get the hell outta dodge. Dinner conversations frequently derailed by grand ideas to portage canoes in the BWCA or visit friends abroad. Then the disturbing realization that this conversation is not best served with over-priced beer and gourmet organic food. Traveling can be cheap, but it takes a sturdy financial commitment nonetheless. I was less than surprised when an ambitious traveling itinerary designed over FujiYa sushi demanded this grounding observation.
Yet, a new and inspiring cure for the travel bug enlightened my raw-fish eating friends. IMAGINATION VACATIONS. As tour guide, I took five people on an adventure through a hot, humid jungle brimming with life and peril and primitive peoples practicing drug-induced rituals. There was a man-eating jaguar and little marmosets stalking in the trees. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
To celebrate this new form of adventure-travel, I would be pleased to take YOU on an imagination vacation. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE. ANYHOW. This just might inspire a revolution in the tourism-industry. Don't complain or ask questions or you can go home! Just shut-up, close your eyes, and get ready. More to come . . .
