Pain Does Not Exist In This Dojo... Does It?

Sometimes travel hurts. Before I left Costa 10 days ago I felt like I was staring down Cobra Kai. The schedule looked pretty hectic, but that's when you have to dig deep.

I flew from Costa Rica to Houston, Houston to Portland. Then I drove to Hood River, back to Portland, back to Hood River,  back to Portland, then up to Seattle. Monday I flew from Seattle to St. Louis where I rented a car and drove 4 hours to Nixa. Yesterday I spent 6 hours with Mike Van Pelt, the owner of Global Expedition Vehicles. After an intensive 6 hour learning session I drove 4 hours back to St Louis where I barely made my flight back to Seattle. Then this morning I drove from Seattle back to Hood River and here I am.

I'll finish out the week at Outdoorplay. I'll attend back to back to back to back dinners with old friends because nurturing my relationships is important to me.  I'll attend a Sprinter van convention on Saturday, and then fly back to Costa Rica on Sunday. I'm super tired but I'm feeling like it's been a successful trip back to the States. I don't want to brag, but I pretty much crane-kicked that travel schedule right off the map. Now I can't wait to see my girls! TREE
