adventure tours

3rd story: lorrie

i met a woman the other day that was planning on taking a trip for the first time in her life. she had raised two kids and they were now in college. she told me about the trip for which she was buying her travel supplies. i had never really heard of these, but she was taking an adventure tour of mexico. perhaps since it would involve a lot of "physical" activity like kayaking, hiking, and biking, it would not have appealed to me in the travel guide. but the way she talked about it made it seem pretty appealing. she was in job transition and decided to take some time out for herself. she looked so excited and she was taking this trip all on her own, not knowing anyone. that, by itself, was impressive. she appeared to have come a long way already. she also asked for a discount on the item she was buying so she could offer a testimony when she got back...that took real guts. maybe one day i would brave a trip that would require this much exertion...you all can stop laughing now. here's a link to a site i found about these...mexican adventures.
